A friend of mine pointed out that moving somewhere cheaper would let me relax a little bit about money.

I LOVE Seattle. But how much would I continue to love it if I were chewing my nails off every month worrying about making my mortgage payment? I could buy a place at the tippy top of my price range here and stress about it until I got an ulcer. Or I could buy a nicer place low in my price range there and not only have valuable property, but be able to save money too.

Besides, if I moved back to Tennessee, I could hang out at Little Sis's enough to finally finish Kingdom Hearts. :D

Would your job prospects be the same in Tenn? Seattle is the #1 overpriced place to live.

Remember that places with less expensive housing often have jobs that pay less or are non-existent too. Make sure you're not trading one set of financial worries for another set of financial worries.

I'll have exactly the same income, because I will have exactly the same job. I work from home, so I can do my job anywhere.

In that case, moving sounds like it could have a lot of advantages.
