worried

So I was on a bit of a high for achieving some financial goals last year and looking forward to being debt free in February and really getting it together this year. Looked back at the last three years and realized. . . wow, we have been pretty irresponsible. After 15 months of unemployment and feeling desperate I didn't learn a darn thing. We were spending and not saving. I never wanted to be in that position again. But we got caught up in new house, trying to keep up with what all the other suburbanites were doing, feeling the pressure. Sigh. Dh says something is going down at his job next week and we get to spend the next week worrying what it is. I have been wanting to move anyway, right? Maybe I can get him to consider the Southwest. Somewhere warm and dry. Hopefully it won't come to that. I am worried anyway.

He is so upset about the company that he wants to look for another job anyway. I would really love to use this opportunity to get out of New Hampshire. He's talking about looking in Boston! Which would add an hour to his commute! I want less commute. I want to see more of his paycheck at the end of the month. Somewhere that housing isn't so inflated. Though I am sure we would have a hard time selling this place. Homes just aren't moving at all. I didn't really need this right now.

Where in NH are you? How about moving to VT? Housing is more reasonable here.

It sucks to get caught up in a new home, new things for the new home and then realizing what is going on. Been there doing that right now.
