Hi everyone -- I'm pulling my hair out over this. My husband in in the process of interviewing for his DREAM job. Unfortunatley, I have a feeling its' not going to pay well, but I don't want to deny him his dream without getting my facts straight first.
I looked at the cost of housing in the DC area (the job would be in Fairfax and he doesnt mind commuting and it's INSANE like 300k plus for a standard 3 bedroom home. Are there any areas that are semi reasonable and not a slum town that we should be looking at? He wouldn't mind an hour-hour and a half commute. I don't need to be in the city or anything like that.
This last week or so has been horrible. I'm so on the fence about this job. I lost my dad in January and live across the street from my mom. To leave her would be so hard for me. DC is only 4 hours away, but ... and this being Father's day week is making it even harder on me. I just miss him so much.
