Waiting on the Promotion...

Over the last few months the wife and I have talked several times about relocating if I get promoted. I did finally apply for a promotion and am on a development plan. I pretty much expected that so it wasn't a shock, particularly since right now I don't want to move.

There are a couple of different states we wouldn't mind living in depending on if we could even sell the house. North or South Carolina would be OK. My brother lives in North Carolina and while he has a few issues with the schools there everything else is OK. He moved down from the metro DC area so everything is cheaper. North Carolina health insurance, homes, auto insurance, even groceries are much more reasonable. I sure would be nice to be closer to him as well.

Most likely we will stay in the area though because if we do move the wife ends up losing something like 60% of her teacher retirement and we just can't afford that.
