Have you ever just moved , Sold your house, Quit your job and moved somewhere else?

[Finchie40]

A big part of me just wants to sell my home and quit my job and start over somewhere else , Have you ever done this? What was your outcome?

[lightbulb27]

at 5x, after living in same place decades and in one state all my life... not married... I moved to a state I knew nothing of, bought house with girlfriend and got married not much longer after. yeahaa!! Dang it was a lot to take on but I did it. I liked where I lived, knew a lot of neighbors... but it was stale for me and I was ready for change. Sound familiar?

Not saying you have to do all that, but it is VERY refreshing. It's exhausting, traumatizing, scary, and everything else. Just going through the decades of clutter to dispose of was a lot of work, old parts I'll never use. I'm still donating and going through boxes, but it's really good to let go of the past and I encourage it. That's what it is... the past!

I love where I'm at now, and consider myself so lucky. I had no concept of this new place, bought with just one visit after we made the offer... it's a tough market. It worked out fine.

If you are running away, then no. If you are going out adventuring to what's new... then a big YES!

I could add more to the change... cultures, good. You'll find new challenges which is good. You've done the old crap, go find someone elses old crap so it's yours and new and fresh. haha!

Maybe you also need an Asian girlfriend... not yet, when it's time... [hhahhhaaaa... crazy Joker laugh...]

Go do it!

[ibodi]

Have not yet but I never thought that so I consider to be safe on the process.

Maybe I just keep it with financial mode to the next. so need to take care many sides.

may be slowly but I am not necessary to be fast too.

My brother can not observed environment so buy it quickly after renting for a month then bought one he really want.

[BlueScorpio]

Yeah... in my dreams lol You have to have a lot of money to just randomly pick up and leave cause that's not realistic for everyone.. unless they had no choice.

[lovedejj_xo]

No because I make good money in the state I’m in. But I do this when I solo travel just leave for a while to get away

[Finchie40]

That’s the only thing that is keeping me here is my job other than that I don’t have anything else keeping me here , I could easily walk away from this area

[Blueeyes81]

I did at 25. I didn't own a home at the time but I just said fuck it and quit my job and moved to another state with 200 dollars in my pocket. I had to pawn everything I had of value just to survive the first month. It worked out but I would't do it again.

[AndrésC64]

Well, I didn't have a house to sell, but I did move across the country on something little more than a whim. Actually, I needed to get away and made a decision rather quickly that I needed to move.

[freewife]

yes, best thing I ever did as I met my new wife, made lots of money contracting and travelled the world. I moved countries as well.

[Drumlin2001]

No. Wouldn't have been brave enough, and now have 2 kids so have to keep steady job for them

[Anonymous]

No. But since retiring I have given consideration to moving to Costa Rica. I guess it's a popular retirement destination for gringos

[AsaKyo]

Man, I wish I could do that

[Anonymous]

No but my brother has and I sometimes wonder if I should do that but I don’t have a house to sell

[YoHoeRose]

This is a terrible habit my mother has

[Anonymous]

Yes. A few times.

[Agape93]

Yeap

[Finchie40]

How did it go

[Agape93]

It was an adjustment period, and I had to fix up the house a bit but it went overall quite well
