In a nutshell, we are tired of living in our cold weather climate and started talking about moving cross country to where it's warmer, plus there's no chance of hurricanes. We have other family in the state we'd be moving to.
Neither one of us has ever earned a lot of money but our current home is paid for (although not worth much) and we're used to living thriftily. However, I lost my job a few months ago and am only collecting unemployment which will run out in a few more months. I'm having difficulty finding a new job locally so I can anticipate it would be that much harder in a different state. If we move, we would want to rent before jumping into buying something, but again we're not used to paying anything for housing. We have some money in investments but don't want to deplete that just to pay rent. We really want to get out of this climate and have been praying but are still torn and undecided. How do you know if/when to "take the plunge" and trust that God will let everything work out or whether you're just making a stupid move (no pun intended)?
