You've mentioned that before, which is another reason why I think this move is a good one.
You have smart plans for the extra money, live at your current budget, then in 3-5 years if you take a paycut jumping out of auto, you'll still be living stress free financially.

I have a brown thumb, this isn't really an option for me.

I love dirtbikes, just not 100%.
If I moved west, it would be somewhere like Prescott, AZ.

Dude, PHX is Prescott is at higher elevation and while it certainly gets hot, doesn't get THAT hot.

Weather everywhere is going to be depressing AF after SD bro. Pay Area is not really the best weather on earth. SD is in fact the best weather on earth.

This is actually something at the back of my mind for sure.

It would likely be a possibility at some point. We would love to spend some time living in Europe.

I run really hot, so I'd like to live somewhere higher elevation or further north that stays a little cooler. Don't mind snow and shit, though to be fair, I've never really had to live in it as a desert rat.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 2:58 pmWeather everywhere is going to be depressing AF after SD bro.

OKC/Texas NOT YOUR PLACE then. The humidity in southern flyover country is something most Californians don't even understand.

When a company sends you somewhere out of the country to live, cost of living isn't really much of a concern. Would be a fun thing to do for some time...maybe permanent if you can find another gig. Usually companies don't send you over indefinitely.troyguitar wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 3:01 pmAFAIK it's not that expensive in the North where the manufacturing is, but I've no real clue.Detroit wrote: This is actually something at the back of my mind for sure.

Fiat's in Turin IIRC, so the north which is pretty much like France, Switzerland, etc I imagine.

My mental timeline has me here 5 years max as a - but lots of change on the near horizon in terms of the health of my grandparents and what will happen when they inevitably pass away.
And of course, this industry's health is on the decline anyway.

I find it best to keep the amount of change at one time to a minimum. Seems like you have a decent sitch with Mazda, and the brand/product is definitely headed in a good direction, so you probably don't want to spend too many brain cells on career changes right now.[user not found] wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 3:18 pm I need to start considering what's beyond my current career.

I also think that the full of the auto industry is father off than many predict.

Realistically though, I'll be here in SD until Michelle finishes getting licensed, and then we'll look together in Denver, Portland, Seattle, and a few other cities.
