So Hannah and I finally sat down today and did some research. I’ve talked about this before. Here’s what we got.
Goals for Hannah
- Get a new job
- Go to New Zealand
- Take Matt to Disneyland
- Get a new car
- Explore switching careers to Administrative Assistant position
- Make more than $35,000 per year
Goals for Matt
- Work at a job for more than 1 year
- Enjoy my job
- Be an uncle
- Make more than $50,000 per year
- Live in Oregon
Goals Conclusion
Live in or around Seattle, Washington.
We took a look at California first. Sun, beach, most of her extended family, and so many jobs. However, at the experience level and salary we’re both currently at, the outcome would be…unfortunate.
So we went deeper. Or rather, further north. Hannah had spent several months in Seattle working at HER Interactive, and I’ve always wanted to visit, being that it’s on the opposite side of the U.S., and it’s freakin’ beautiful.
Here’s what we found on general living expenses, apartments, and jobs, just for Hannah.
I’d say it’s a good start. Now we need to work out the timelines. This year? Next year? Five years? We’ll have to see.
I’m open to advice. Leave a comment if you have living suggestions, favorite jobs, etc.
