He wants to put it on the market, to avoid foreclosure, so if that happens, then yes we would be moving. The owner thought he could a short sale if we were interested and if not, then he would put it on the market once our lease is up.
My husband has been at his job for 2.5 years. Though it isn't his dream job he will be with them till Sept 2015 (govt contract) BUT he can switch to become a staff member in another area as a permanent employee. He has many connections and all have said-we can get you another job when the time comes.
The thing is we do KNOW that it is going to take a lot longer than a year to be debt-free, and it will take more than a year to visit places (traveling is expensive) we might want to live, and we know that it will take longer than a year for my husband to figure out what he really wants to do. He actually has always had the entrepreneur bug and has some current side projects he is working on too.
One year's assessment will have us at the same job, the same financial debt minus some, and with a 7 move under our belt and then possibly the 8th if the next rental changed, etc. As for the house we are renting, we LOVE it. The neighborhood is one of the very few green places in our desert city, close to a park, has room to grow for our family, centrally located to everything, well kept up, good neighbors. We would buy this house out of all others in our city hands down.
We were both born and raised and wanted to get out of here ASAP just because we wanted a bigger city, more to do, etc. But we have realized that maybe that is not such a good financial decision since we have no reason other than "try something different and it is what we have always wanted". We would still LOVE to move eventually and preferably to NYC, Washington DC, or Boston, or Silicon Valley but we understand that those places are not within our reach anytime soon and not a good move financially. So then our thoughts switched to well why are moving-again? We have a good job, low-cost of living and a great community.
