Good discussion. I am sure there are a lot of people on the fence like me. I’ve somewhat thought about some of the very same issues, but like a lot of things, there is an emotional bond to where you live. Like how am I ever going to replace Don the nieghbor. He’s a retired guy, living solo because his wife passed away a couple of years ago. He keeps an eye on the hood while everyone is at work.
Looks like I’ll stick it out. When I get laid off, I’ll worry about it then. I’ve only worked in the public sector for about 4-years. I can jump back in to consulting, which will mean I’ll be on the road a lot. then when and if things turn around in a few years, jump back in to a so called stable govt job and I’ll still have my home.
Worse case scenorio, I walk. It’s only a house. As long as I have food and medical ins for my kids, I am fine.
