Now that the hubby got the job offer of his dreams, we know we are on the fast track to living our life dream; suburban nirvana if you will. The only problem is that we will be taking a pay cut the first year, and he got offered the job position in one of the most expensive places in the country, San Francisco.
We knew we'd have to make sacrifices during that first year, but the daunting task of finding a new home in the area, although i'm VERY familiar with it, since we've been living here already for 4+ years, is taking it's toll on me. We currently live in a 1500 sq. ft. 3bed 2 bath townhouse. We are going to make 10THOUSAND dollars less a year, and that's BEFORE taxes are taken out!!!!
EVERYTHING i'm seeing is in the range of 900-1050 sq.ft.!! so we're cutting over 500 square feet! and not to mention, all of this for just 100-150 dollars less a month than what we currently pay!
We know that we can NOT keep our current place, and we know things will be tight that first year, but it's a very scary thing to think about... we will be bursting at the seams in whatever new place we end up in, and paying not much less. Ok, I'm off to continue my search, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. :(
