As for work, you have to go where the chance for advancement is the greatest. I would also, as mentioned, rent your present house out - even if the monthly rent amount does not cover the whole cost of the house and everyone's situation should be assessed by a professional, you probably will make that back in tax deductions and the appreciated value of the house when you do sell it in the future. Plus, like Goldie said, you will have the option of moving back if things do not work out.
Best of Luck - and if you do move to NOLA - we MUST have cocktails the next time I am there, which is about every other month  |
YAY! that would be so much fun. I think this job would be like a total kick in the arse for my career - I feel like Heather Locklear on Melrose Place! ha. Thanks for the advice, it really helps and I appreciate it. Question - I have no clue where is safe/cheapest to live? I'd be working on Lafayette Street. I was looking at the Woodward Apts and they look really nice but are just barely out of what I'd like to pay, I can if I have to but I'd like to start out somewhere cheaper first given I'm not sure about other expenses.
I'll keep you guys updated.
