Sean and I are still rather unsettled on the topic of where we’d like to move. Naturally price is a factor but location is also kind of a big deal for me. I’m currently 5 hours away from everything I’ve ever known and now he wants to go all the way to Ohio because he says he loves it out there. I’ve never been there before, but I also know that it’s even further away from Long Island than I am now. I’m sure at some point in time I’ll be traveling out there considering it’s where his brother currently lives but that doesn’t mean I know off the bat that I’m going to love it there enough to want to live there. Yes, for $5,000 we can get a trailer and spend $200 on lot rent. Financially that’s safe but I want something that’s mine, I don’t want lot rent I want a mortgage on land that I OWN so I can do with it what I please. I want a pool, I want a big fenced in back yard and I’d love to have a huge patio just to relax on without a care in the world. I don’t want to live in the middle of some redneck trailer park where everyone has two first names and even less teeth in their mouth.
Another big factor to moving is whether or not we’ll need to go through moving companies or if we’re going to truck everything there ourselves, maybe even just renting a uhaul but then we’d need some kind of auto transport just to get the car(s) out there if we’re driving the uHaul. We could get away with just a hitch with the uHaul but I’m sure we’d need a bit more room than we’re thinking now considering how much stuff the two of us have accumulated. I’ve downgraded a lot with the move, I threw out a lot more than I’d thought before moving down here. There would also just be a lot of crap to buy as well with furniture that we currently don’t have due to a lack of space, it’s just a whole big chunk of things to go through that I don’t, at this time, have the energy for.
I guess the only upside, at this point, would be the fact that I don’t have to worry about international shipping. Though, Canada does look fairly good to me considering I’d have to continue dealing with the bone head that’s running America.
