Back in my partier days I used to move a lot. I've lived in six different states and lots of different cities since I left my mother's house. Now, I've been in one place for 20 years, and it's entirely likely I'll be here the rest of my life.
I often think about moving, especially now - when we are about to get hit with a $23,000 assessment per unit; but if I can't move to a beach community, I'm not going. Every time I take a scuba trip I come back saying, "I'm moving to [that place with great diving]."
I have two cats, and while I love them they do make it pretty difficult to move to another country.
I will keep them and take the $$$$ hit. I have everything I need and then some. I can't see complicating that.
