So many questions

Okay, it’s time to let the cat out of the bag. I’ve alluded to it twice (not once, as I thought—I lost a $5 bet with J): we might be moving. J is looking for another job. Ideally we’d like to move back to Austin, Texas, where we lived for several years before moving to Massachusetts in 2001; however, the search is nationwide. Austin’s job market is on the small side, and doesn’t have a lot of turnover.

After it became apparent that we’d likely move from the Boston area I became somewhat obsessed with getting rid of our debt and building up our savings account as much as possible, because of all of the unknowns—will the company pay relocation costs? Will we have to pay for two living spaces for a while? Seeing that my class doesn’t end until July, we could very well be living apart for a while.

We have about $23,000 in savings right now; I’d like to get it up to around $30,000 before a move.

I’m also not sure of when the house should go on the market. I suppose immediately after J accepts a job and no sooner—after all, what if we were to put the house on the market and he ends up getting something here? And damn Zillow for being the bearer of bad news lately.

I hate not knowing what’s going to happen. I’ve been anxious and mildly depressed lately. Forgive the crappy disjointed writing; but my thoughts on the subject are rather disjointed.
