I did not think about DC, thanks....

Well those would have been my suggestions...I would add DC area too!!!!!!!!!! And possibly Boston. WV is...may not be much better than MI

We have focused our search on Michigan, W. Virginia, GA, PA, NY, NJ. As those states have relatives hubby could live with and receive a few paychecks and allow us the opportunity to all move out to that state.

Fallen, there is demand in my neck of the woods always for accountants and the like...CPA's even more so...of course it is EXPENSIVE to live here but in general, have you guys looked at the mid-Atlantic, North East, and up and down the East Coast in general?????

Hubby and I both are in Finance / Accounting.... Thanks your sweet

Fallen, not that any area of the country is doing all that great, but Michigan isn't good....may we be nosy and ask what field your husband is in? Maybe we can suggest a few things???

congrats, so excited to read your story. Everyone keeps telling us the same thing that we need to move out of Michigan so that hubby can find a job but with a sick Mother and no monies really aged to move, its really not an option. Hubby has applied for many out of state jobs but has not even gotten an interview.

IamOld, you remember my story. Remember all the people telling me I had to leave California. Well I didn't. In fact, as soon as I landed the bad job, I started getting more people calling me for interviews. So the drive is still really bad in CA traffic, but I will be moving about 20 minutes closer, which helps some. But I am so grateful to have a high paying job and with a stable company, that I will put up with the traffic, just to work. I am now searching for a place to live fast and furious as Fannie Mae is pushing me really hard to leave as they are preparing to evict me.

you spend 3.5 hr a day commuting? Wow! Are you driving from like hemet to the san fernando valley? (when i lived in socal, my commute to work was 1 mile each way, but about 75 miles each way to the mountain high or big bear lake ski resorts.)

worse! :-)

OK, Indio to Lancaster?

helpme2010 - so glad to hear things are working out for you! I am finally getting some interviews (3) but no offers yet (kinda think the BK IS affecting me negatively, even tho in IL employers cannot use credit in their hiring decisions - I think they do. And it is very easy for the BK to be found for free just by googling my name.) But I persevere - what else can I do?

Keep us updated. I hope you get to stay in your home until you find the perfect new place. Congrats on the job, too!!!

[discouraged]

Congrats on the job helpme. Gives those of us still looking hope.

helpme, good for you - you still "Love LA!" (forgive me - had to say it!) I'm a bit of a same situation - good job, decent pay, hell of a commute - 2 hrs AM about 1.5hrs pm in stop and go...BUT what the hey!!!!

(Can you tell FM where they can go for a while, or are they telling you that you need to go...)
