If you had to move How far would you move away?

I'm sorry to hear about your husband, things are getting too tough for all of us these days. Moving out is not fun and easy. When I didn't have permanent home I was always relocating. Its not fun because its too tiring to move out and move in things. Another is that I already made friends with some people in the area and its kind of hard to leave them. When I was moving out I didn't move out that far. I'm still in the same city, its hard to leave friends and family and move out far away then make new friends. I wish you and your family all the best. I will pray that he will find a job pretty soon in your area so you won't have to move. God bless you and your family.

I would move away as far is it would take me. But I have wanted to move away from where I live since I was like 5. I'm going to university here though but then after that I am hopefully out of here. I also hope to move away for summer next year. In saying this I am seventeen with no children or anything to think about but your recluctance to move is understandable because it sounds as though you have a lot of happy memories where you live :)

Hi rosepedal, to be honest it wouldn't be a problem for me, mainly because I don't have dependents and I am a single guy so I would be quite happy to move anywhere, I currently live with my parents because I cannot afford my own place and I had to move in with them when I split up from my partner, so if a job came up and it was in a different area I would take it and relocate, but I would still stay in my country, I couldn't move abroad. But I do at least have the freedom to be able to move away.

Wow, that would be difficult. I don't really know. I mean I'm single, so... I do know that I have lived two and a half hours away from my only living grandparents for the past 23 years. I probably get to see them once every three months, but when I was younger we probably saw them once every two months. I missed them when I was a kid, but sometimes my sister and I would go down there and stay two solid weeks with them during the summer. Whatever happens, it might be hard, but you can still stay close to them emotionally.

I know that it is hard for most if not all people to find a job and to pay bills. At the moment we are not able to pay the bills and rent on time but we are trying our best my husband those not have a steady job but he is getting some days with one of his friends so it is helping I am currently unemployed. But at the moment we are thinking in moving to a house that might be for sale by the owner and that sounds better than paying rent but we do not know the price of the place or the amount of the monthly payments. The house is in the same State but about 100 miles away from were we live I do not know how it looks but I was told that is nice. I am scared but also exited to move so we can try to have another type of live with out all the heat and with less crime and a better school.

I am currently thinking about finding my own home for the first time, and so the question of distance from my family has come up in my mind recently. I have the added dilemma of having parents in both sides of the country so I have to decide if I want to stay with my dad's family, or move closer to my mum and sisters. I am sort of thinking about trying to relocate half way between them and close to a large town where it should be easier to locate work, but I am not sure yet. I am probably going to work more on finding a house that speaks to me, hopefully one that is located in a nice area, and then worry about the rest later. That said this is all new to me so I shall be largely making it up as I go along lol! I wish you and your husband the best of luck finding a new house and job :) Dranz

I think it really depends on the situation...right now I'm in my early 20's. All my family is up north but I've been in Florida since college so I have no real problem with moving away from home. Now with your situation, that is completely different because you have grandchildren. If staying in driveable distance to your family, that might be really good seeing how then you can drive to one another frequenty. I lived in CT and my dad's family was living in FL (close to 2.5 hours away) and we saw our family pretty frequently. Good luck.

Well first of all, I'd find the work first, then move. but I promised my kids I wouldn't move them away from their friends again, so I'd have to think it over very, very carefully...

We moved about 200 miles away from home and in truth there are times I wish it was farther. We would like to relocate and have been looking for jobs as far aways a Germany.

I wouldnt mind moving so far to find another job, perhaps 30 to 40 minutes away but i just dont think i would like to go any further, im a homely kind of person. But if times were hard and it was a choice between move and have a stable income then i think i would just have to suck it up and go

I can move around my country.My dad works in a coal.My family live in there .we spend two hours on way from my home to coal.

The fact is being in new place is not easy. You need to start everything from beginning. And as we know, everything at the beginning is hard. Especially your new environment. I think you can try to discussing about this matter with your sons and hear what's their opinions. Moving perhaps is a good idea, but i think it's not the only one option. Good luck for you and your family. Happy mylotting.

It really depends on the pay, the place and the job itself. I wouldn't mind moving thousands of kilometers for work. But if the place i had to go was russia or say pehaps the U.S.A. then i would have to think about it extensively before i decided. I'm not a man who is bound to his home so i would have no regrets about that
