I am wondering some thoughts on this. (US)

We’ve lived in this house for 6 years. It’s a great place, but we always figured we’d probably move again at some point. Now, we have a decent amount of stuff (mostly due to my 1000’s of hobbies, we like to do a lot of shit because life should be fun) so I really hate moving.

My thought is-hey, if we end up moving, lets just move really far away. Most of our families will be gone in a few years and there’s not really a reason to stay here. I could probably give up a lot of my large items if it meant moving to a really interesting new country (thinking one of the Nordic countries, my grandparents were from there). Still, it would probably be 6 years before we would actually move.

Just wondering how crazy this really is. I think my SO feels like it’s a joke when I bring it up.

    They may not have parents who need care. The parents could be dead, could have their own long-term care plans, could have been bad enough people that their kids don’t plan to take care of them, etc. I wouldn’t just assume that somebody needs or wants to be near elderly family.

      I didn’t mean to imply that they had elderly parents, I just meant that is something to consider if they did.
