I would LOVE to live in Florida. In fact, I have an aunt and uncle and two cousins that live there and are always trying to get us to move down.
They don't have to twist my arm. It's DH.
But, to move to Florida we have found that the housing is about the same as it is here in Delaware but the jobs pay WAY less. Also, homeowner's insurance is through the roof and some people can't even be insured by what I'm finding.
DH and I have researched the upstate of SC (which is where we met and married) and what we have found is, we could sell our home here and make a heavty profit. We paid $80,000 for our home and we could sell for at least $180,000 but we're hoping for more like $200,000. After the mortgage is paid off and all of our debt we'd still have money left over to purchase either a pre-existing home or lots of land and save to build a home. Also, with no debt DH dreams of finding a "normal" job and going back to school for something that he would really love (
he just doesn't know what that is yet). Me, I'm a stay at home wife. We have been married for almost 9 years and I've had many problems with infertility not the least which was endometriosis which took my left tube and ovary. That's what the lap was for. For 9 years I've been waiting for my life "to start" with a little one but it hasn't happened. We even looked into adoption that went very wrong (thanks to a birthmother who changed her mind at just about the last minute) and now we're a bit jaded. Anyway, I'm looking into my plan B which may mean going back to school and going in another direction.

I'm not sure yet. ~Now, that I've told you my life story.~
Oddly, the place where we want to move back to didn't even make it on my list.
Oh, I have another cool site for you guys to check out if you're interested.
It's called City-Data Forum and it can be found at
City-Data.com . It's a place like the Dis but each board represents a state (like we have a budget board, community board, transportation board). It's a cool place to interact with others who are moving to a certain state or for people who already live in that state to answer questions.
OK, I've taken up enough space with this post.
