Syrcusa - I'm not trying to argue with you, but you seemed to have already made up your mind about how you have no choice but to move. I'm still sticking to the belief that we all have choices.
No...I have never considered that because we live in MA it may be easier to find work. The reason I have never considered that is because over the years we have lost and gained jobs and are willing to do whatever we have to do to stay here. That means if we can't find a job in a certain field, we look in another. That means if I had to waitress or work at McDonald's, we would. In other words...it's our choice to make it happen and work.
You don't "need" a 4 bedroom house. You want one. Fair enough. But keep in mind how people lived 20-30 years ago. Most people had small homes with a couple kids sharing rooms. And somehow we all survived.
Same thing is true for you whether you see it or not. If you want to move back to Europe, make it happen. Stop talking yourself into the belief that you simply can't. Yes you can. You may have to open yourself up to other lines of employment and a different way of life. But you can. You are the one stopping you from doing it...no one else is.
If you want to stay in Atlanta figure out how to do it. If that means your husband takes a lesser paying job in another field, so be it. At least you still have your job. Lower your monthly expenses and make it happen and don't say it can't be done. There are millions of people all over this country out of work making things work. Is it easy? No. But can it be done? Yes.
