You might want to try visiting there in the winter before you sell everything here and leave - but yeah, I understand about wanting to get out of the heat and sun, esp after a bout with skin cancer. Since all your famliy is here, if you move up there and it doesn't work out, you will have an easier time coming back.
I won't sell everything, I'm going to move my niece into my place from California, but I have alot of toys, do I fire sell some of those? Unfortunately I have to make that decision now and can't wait until winter to see the worst of the worst, that would help clarify things I'm coming from our worst time of year to visit this place when its at most beautiful

Says AZ is 11.4% cheaper, idk from being here, just visiting and talking to my old boss, seems like it might be about the same, the liberals out here are scary but AZ has been infiltrated too with them
Thank you 🙏
Happy to help! This sounds like one of those things that if you didn't try, you'd regret it later on, no matter if it turns out good or bad.
UNLESS you come upon some new information in the near future to tell you to definitely NOT do it.
Good luck 🍀 Please keep us posted!
I’ve lived in Arizona for over 25 years. I’m kind of dying to get out of here, but where else do you go. After being in the heat for so long, I don’t think it’s a good idea to move to somewhere that has ice cold winters. It’s just not the same dealing with the different temperature elements. Snow and cold is a whole different ball game. The heat can be managed with air conditioning, you can get to where you wanna go. No problem. You just get in your car and drive. It’s not gonna happen in New Hampshire in the winter time. I have friends that on an air conditioning, HVAC company, they are killing it! If you have that skill, you should use it. Also, if your friends and family are Christians, and are based, that I highly recommend not leaving at all. You need that support system right now you absolutely need that. For so many reasons. $10 more an hour is not that much. And unless this company is paying for you to move, I would say absolutely not! Actually, I would say absolutely not anyway, and this is coming from somebody who’s lived in Arizona for 25 years and wants to leave. The last place I would move to as we’re there snow in the winter time. Pray to the Lord and ask him what he thinks you should do. That’s when you know, it’ll be a success! If God wants you to go, then go.
Amen brother, good info, there are other benefits, pick my own hours, I wanna work 4 10's and they want to let me do that, I was shocked when I heard this, not paid sick leave bc its not needed, just let em know and make it up elsewhere or don't, they only care about having coverage for the plant and bc there strongly staffed then its all good. The prospect of having my business is intriguing and frightening at the same time. I've always taken side jobs but never relied on it full time bc of the cancer thing
Well, I didn’t know you had cancer. You definitely want a job with insurance for that. However; fenbenzodole should help with that. Anyway, it’s a huge decision to make
At one time in my life, I used to work those long shifts. We worked five on, five off, two on, and two off. I don’t think it added up to 40 hours completely, I think it was 38 hours. But still. It was an awesome schedule. 810s would be perfect.
I’ve got some huge decisions to make, it is, God is on your side, it’s the right decision. Just make sure it’s really him that’s telling you to go, because if it’s not in his will, it will be a disaster. Take it from me… You don’t wanna go that route. Regrets or a bad experience in a bad feeling, and the thing is it takes a long time to get through those bad decisions.
Like you said, at your age, do you want to come back at a later time, and then try and start over.
Going to move my niece into my house, mom's helping her/me out with mortgage, she's like my daughter, either way I'm giving her my master bedroom to move her back from cali bc she just had a kid and I'm torn on not seeing her and the kid, she's been away for awhile
That's cool. Also cool about your boss - what does he say to you about your hesitations?
