It's hard for me to let go of anything I "know" for the unknown. I was forced to go part-time (lose vacation, most benefits) at my job for the last year or so and was hating it but when I finally could quit, I'd been there almost eight years and had relationships, etc. so it was still difficult to leave. I had good friends there and went back 2-3 times to "visit" and the friends have been to my new house, etc. It can take awhile to move on.
