  • Oh, I agree about Vermont being wonderful, I used to fantasize about that state back when I believed in Bernie. But last time I checked the housing market there, it wasn’t a matter of housing being too expensive, but literally nothing being on the market.

    Admittedly, last time I checked was around covid. Now I’m checking Zillow and seeing roughly 2.3k units for sale across the entire state, which isn’t great, but at least moving there is possible again. Out of those units, roughly… 200ish are kind of affordable to the average single income household. If you’re not picky about being near a big city, it’s doable.


  • It sounds like you need to travel with more people, especially if the area you’re moving to is more expensive than your current place.

    Personally, my plan has been taking so long because I needed to guarantee that at least one other person I could trust would move out of state with me and split rent for at least one lease. Well now I have a partner, and we might even have extra friends that want in on the move. The more people to split risks and costs with, the better, and we’ll have over a year to finalize details and make sure that at least half of us can get either out of state jobs or fully online jobs.

    Either that or you’ll have to find someone that already lives in an area you like and is willing to take a chance on you, either as a roommate or more reliably as a partner. But that comes with its own risks.
