Can you upgrade your life with a move? Why not? What’s stopping you? Sometimes the most difficult part is the actual decision to change, and not the change itself. Here are some questions to ask yourself.
Why do you want to leave?
What is the root cause of your desire to move? Is it you, or the environment?
What about the weather?
Does the weather play havoc with your emotions? Do you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder? Would a change in climate bring about a positive change in your disposition?
Taxes? Budget?
In examining your budget, would your new location cost more or less to live there, considering taxes and salary ranges?
Occupation?
Are there sufficient opportunities for you to continue in your current career path? Have you conducted some research online about upward mobility? Can you retain your current job in your new location, and what would that conversation be like with your employer?
Quality of Life?
The pros must outweigh the cons. Making this decision with all the available information at the time will help you to feel confident about your choice to stay, or go. If you do decide to go, don’t be surprised when you’re presented with many signs that you’ve made the right decision – before you’ve left – and once you’ve arrived.
Good luck!
