I believe in following your heart and dreams--how do you know when that is the right thing to do, and when it is all just a romanticized fantasy? I'm afraid I might make that mistake too as we do think and talk about moving, too. I've moved cross country 5 times in my life so far . . . staying put is difficult, but moving might not be the answer either. Nice to see others deal with similar issues (not that I want others to be confused or make the wrong choice of course) It’s hard to know how to separate the romanticism from the real, legitimate reasons sometimes.

I moved from Washington State to Washington DC four years ago, then moved four times while I was over there, and just recently moved back. I found out that this is where I'm happy... but now, I'm in major debt. Ugh. I could have saved $4000. Yep. I did the same thing.
