What would you do???

[JimFitz]

May have the chance to relocate to WestChester PA.

50% Increase in Salary
20% increase in Bonus

Higher position with well estabished financial firm.

We live in NJ about two hours away. Kids are 4 and 2 so there is no school issues.

Would you do it???????

 

[tevagirl]

I'd get out of Dodge (or in this case Jersey).

 

[Mummy Lvr]

Is there a downside? I don't see one, I'd say go for it!

 

[Dodie]

I'm confused. What are the "cons"? You only list "pros." Why wouldn't you?

 

[DisneyGirl4188]

I'd move in an instant!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I'd....run like the wind...to Pennsylvania. Of course, there are wild animals there, too.

What are the cons? Sounds like a good financial move.

 

[krcit]

I say go now when the going is good!!Now is the perfect time to move-before the kids get established in school. Good luck!!

 

[Daxx]

Heck yeah ... esp. since the cost of living will prob. be lower!!!!

 

[Charade]

RUN Forrest, RUN!

If someone offered me that, I'd be all over it like white on rice.

 

[doxdogy]

What Charade said.

RUN Forrest, RUN!

If someone offered me that, I'd be all over it like white on rice.

I can think of a couple of more excellent reasons to move to PA but I wont bore you since they most likely wouldn't affect you. Or will they????

 

[SwedishMeatball]

They have moles in Pennsylvania.

Is there another bread earner in the picture that a job would be needed for? If so, what is the possibility of a job there? What is the cost of living comparison? Would you be leaving behind family that you like being close to (not that 2 hours is very far away)?

 

[DMickey28]

Take a look at were I have lived...

I would do it in a second. Where is your family? If NJ then you aren't too far away for holidays but your increase in lifestyle could be substantial!

 

[WonderfulDreamer2]

They have moles in Pennsylvania.

And frogs...KERMIE!

 

[ChristmasElf]

I bet the cost of living in PA will be much lower than in New Jersey. For that much difference in pay, I would say GO.

 

[Charade]

They have moles in Pennsylvania.

I know!

With the property taxes you are paying in Jersey, I would be out of there in a New York minute. I live in Staten Island, and I still can't figure out why all my friends and family are moving to Jersey to pay $10,000 and better in property taxes. I just don't understand why anyone would want to pay that.

Jersey is so corrupt, that I don't see how the situation would ever change, it will only get worse. With what you just described, I would take off like a prom dress. Good Luck

Best reason? The QVC outlet store is very close to West Chester and there is a PF Changs nearby as well.

Also Valley Forge Park, easy access to city, airport, Commodore Barry Bridge for beach trips, lots of shopping.

Don't know about school districts but the college is there!

I'd probably go but one concern would be selling a house in today's market. It's pretty soft here in NJ. Would you be able to rent in your new location until you sell or would you be able to carry 2 mortgages?
