This is a serious question, my hubby has been offered a high paying job which is 14 hours drive away from where we (and our families) live and in an isolated community in the desert. There are quite a lot of people living there and I would be able to make friends with the other stay-home-mums there. The thing is I am getting cold feet about it, I am not going to have time off from my daughter, hubby and I wont be able to go to the movies anymore (there is no cinema!) and the main local event is watching footy games and I can't stand football. If we stay in our home his pay will be $20,000 a year less and we will have to support our entire $2500 a month mortgage repayments whereas is we move we earn more money and have a renter in our house and we get subsidised rent for $100 a week. Financially I know it's the right thing to do but I am scared of being so far from the city even though the contract is only 2 years. Would you go?
