Hi vertigo,

I think I understand your concerns.

It sounds like you feel much more at peace in the setting where you now reside?

I would be very upset if I suddenly had to move to a city. I am not wired to live in cities. It was okay when I did it for awhile when I was younger; yet, even then I had to eventually leave and go back into more quiet, more rural settings. It's not long before I feel overwhelmed with sensory stimuli in cities. I love to visit cities once in awhile. I cannot live there for any length of time, however.

Sometimes, there is enough household income and it's not most important nor in best interests to take promotions. Other times, the promotion is welcomed and helps people with current finances, as well as allows for future financial planning.

You had mentioned the new position is approx. 90 minute drive each way. Is there any possibility of living outside of the city in which your wife may be working? Maybe somewhere on the outskirts of the city?

It sounds like you and your wife (and family) have lots to consider.

Please take it slow. Let us know how things are going?

My Best to You and to Your Family,
WC
