I think my wife is dead set on leaving. Me I don’t care where we live, I was happy in Warren, Ohio, the cold weather isn’t that big of a deal to me. But if the Mrs. is unhappy, it brings the whole house down.
I can make probably $90-$95 in my line of work in some place like Atlanta or Orlando which is a helluva lot more money at the end of the day (net of taxes). In those cities I could, if I wanted to, buy a house right away.
Her problem is that the kids are only going to be young for a few more years. In Ohio we had a basketball court, trampoline, pool, etc. Here we can’t even have a dog. If buying a house isn’t sensible until 2008 or so, my oldest kid will be almost driving.
She is tired of not having any friends, it seems everyone out here is so busy-busy-busy, that nobody just hangs out.
She also hates the uber-competitiveness of every god-damn activity. She was a college athlete, and can’t remember youth sports and academics being jammed so hard at 5th grade kids.
