Little bit of day dreaming here, but bjorn with me. SuperD is fully vested at work 9-2015, or two years from now. If things continue upward then hopefully the housing market rebounds as well, making it an ideal time to move from San Diego after that date.
Fork in the road A. Move to the Austin Texas area if family requires it. If you gotta live in Texas, then Austin seems to be the place to do it. I've been there lots of times and I'm sure I could find all sorts of things to like about the area and importantly lots of "newness" in things to me. Wages, housing, taxes and such are all OK there, so no worries. Just gotta get used to the weather and the "Texas" part of living in Texas.
If J2W move there for graduate school that'd just be an even greater bonus. More family, more fun right? I can still motorcycle there, shoot there and enjoy a healthy outdoor lifestyle. I'm sure it's just wishful thinking but there seems to be an air of openness and possibility to the place.
Fork Z. Same basic steps as Fork A, sell the house, make sure family is taken care of in any way we can and then move to say, Lillehammer Norway. And yes, before you ask I have been there before. Just last year. And I know SD makes you a weather wuss, but I did grow up in rural, mountainous parts of Oregon, Washington and Montana. I can deal with snow and such.
Heck, I'm 50% Norwegian so it shouldn't be that big of a step. Would it be a major change to almost every area of life? Oh heck yeah, but that's part of the great draw! Relearning food, recreation, travel, language, work, home life. All of it! To me that sounds like a great time. Annnnnnd they have a health system in place if my Crohns did ever go south again I could be taken care of just fine.
A subset of Fork Z, Z.1a, is that it could be done in Italy, New Zealand or a different Scandinavian country than Norway. Live smart, live within your income level and live new.
So for the next two years I need to live the hell out of being in San Diego, cause who knows what fork will be in the road next???

ReplyDeleteWhen he is done with school or a little after that? I think that'd be cool.
ReplyDeleteThe sooner the better. The point is to outrun all of our problems. Like I am sure that our medical issues and credit score are confined to the US by some invisible border. Seems logical.
