So DH got laid off on Monday. Effective immediately. We knew it would come eventually just not expecting it this week. His whole office is being let go. We have a decent amount of severance & vacation payout. We don't have a stash and we still have debt so payoff will have to be put on hold for the time being.
We are considering this time as an option to move to another area if he can find a job, especially since our nearby area doesn't have many job options for him without a couple hour commute. But we're just not sure where to consider. Hoping maybe some of you might have some suggestions.
He's a Software Developer/Software Engineer whatever you want to call it. So we need somewhere with tech or related industry. Anyone know any good solid companies hiring? I'm in accounting so I can do that almost anywhere.
Things we'd like in a place to move to... We like to be outside - green, mountains, rivers, lakes, ocean. Preferably somewhere with seasons, not just sunny and hot all year. Not too big of a city (or if a city, somewhere to live outside with a decent commute). Don't care about arts or museums really. Definitely need somewhere with access to farmers and real food & alternative medicine. Long term what we'd like to achieve is a place to live where we can have a it bit of land for chickens & goats, where we can live on one income or me working part time or at least having the option to pursue a career that may pay less.
Obviously we may not have options for exactly what we want, but just need more ideas of where to look. Any ideas???
