Anyone ready to move to another country?

Thank God, it would be too much for me to bear if I lost that due to a situation caused by my partner. As hard as this time is, you still will have your home that you love, that gives you such joy.

My situation was different but I would have lost my mind if I lost my home, safe haven. It may take a long time to recover from the emotional turmoil but just being there will give you great comfort!

This will surprise you..I actually hate this house..!! have for many years, actually really detest it... and I always wanted to move but the O/H would never move, so I was stuck here...

I'm hoping once the Divorce is over that I'll be able to afford to move...

There is nothing better than getting home, climbing into your own bed. It would be the first thing I would do when I got home even if during the day. I would have to crawl in and have a good nap!

yes , that is one way to think of it. It's the place you know, and it knows you as well.. as do the people, and everywhere around you is ..yours so to speak , whereas it's hard to find that in any other place not familiar to you..

At my second home..my friends are there, my neighbours are my friends also... and so it's home to me as much as this one is... but after a while there was things I missed about the UK that aren't available in Southern Spain, and I chose to come back for those.. but not for the bricks and mortar of my house

Yes, it does surprise me. You work so hard keeping it beautiful, taking care of your garden. I hope if you choose to move you will find just the right thing in the area you want to be.

Oh yes, I couldn't live in a home that was neglected, and it is hard work keeping it nice on my own now... but hopefully and with luck on my side, I won't still be here in 5 years time saying I want to move..:D

Maybe once the divorce is over the house won't seem so bad. Getting out of an unhappy marriage sure can change your perspective.

No, I would not want to move anywhere else. NY is my home. My ancestors chose it back in the 1600's so I guess it is in my blood. I think I must be one of the few people who like the weather here.

Kinda like I said to one of my kids recently: ONCE a New Yorker, ALWAYS a New Yorker!!!

I wonder if we have some of the same ancestors on my NY side of the family!

I already have a home in another country.. Southern Spain... I lived there for 10 years , now it's going to be sold..

I am sorry you are going through this. Divorce at any time in life is hard, but I think it gets harder with age. I know selling the house can't feel good.

For many years I owned second homes, mostly on the beach in Florida, eventually moved into one of them. For what its worth in the end I was happy to sell, renting when you want to get away makes more sense in a lot of ways. And mine have always been in the same country, the US, foreign ownership has to be harder.

The only silver lining was appreciation, made a decent profit once anyway. Hope you do well with yours.
 
I was born and raised in Massachusetts with its cold winters. Years later I was stationed in Cuba for 18 months. It was always sunny, warm in the day, cool at night. I missed the seasons changing. And it's heresy to buy a Christmas tree, while wearing only shorts. You need snow. So, now, I'm planted In Pennsylvania. And let's face it, it's nice to bellyache about winter.
 
We are in a position where we could move to wherever we wanted, but like most everyone else, our home is the U.S. and will be until the Lord calls us home. We do have a second home in Florida. I have been to a lot of other places, but still prefer the U.S. There are places that if I were to consider moving to, I could easily eliminate.
 
I have learned over the years that "move to paradise" crap is almost always promoted by some sleazy real estate company. My way of thinking is that if you want "sun, sand & sex" then take a holiday to some hot spot on the globe. When it comes to long term way of life, I will stay in Canada. It's not a perfect country; we have our problems but so does every other place.
 
We just traveled to our new home. Strangely, it is only 15 miles from the old one, but worlds apart. This place is 3 miles from where my wife grew up, and she loves it.
The only other place she would like to move to is Dunedin on the South Island of New Zealand, but she would be too far from her family.
