I think I could live in Florida. And maybe even get my parents to retire there. We already have family in Vero Beach/Melbourne area anyway.

MissySue, I'm curious as to where you live now that you hate so much. Are you in Atlanta or somewhere else in GA? Also, Florida is a great place to live.

No, we are in Augusta. It just wasn't an option when I registered on TK. There is pretty much nothing to do here, no culture, no fun things and we have no family here. You pretty much have to go to Atlanta or Columbia SC to do anything fun. And where we live, there is just so much crime and violence. We live in a pretty safe area, but the bad areas are in pockets here. You can litterally turn the corner and be in a bad area and turn another corner and there be mansion houses. It is just weird to me.

I know that being so far away from family isn't such a bad thing at times, but it does get old after a while. And our parents still work so they can't very easily make the 10 hour drive to visit us. We are always going home if we want to see our families and friends. I do understand they all have lives, too, but it just gets old after a while.

Ponde Vedra is about a 3 1/2 hour drive for my co-teacher to go down there every other week or so. She has shown me pics and it looks really nice.

Ok, that is understandable. I think Atlanta is pretty awesome, but Augusta not so much. I haven't ever actually been there but I have never heard anything good about it. And I think a lot of southern cities are like that, with terrible neighborhoods next to beautiful ones. And it is hard to be far away from family. Hopefully you guys can move somewhere more fun before too long.

H and I decided that we're knocking Augusta off our consideration list. It's too remote from everything.

Missy, you'll have to move to FL so we can meet. We still have Tampa on our list!

[Deleted User] · December 2010

Yeah, pretty much the only thing this city has going for them is golf and neither H nor I are golfers. We both grew up in Columbus (well, the suburbs) which is a huge city and that on top of the total culture shock was really hard for both of us to take (esp me).

Good choice. I know MCG is a good school and everything, but this place really has nothing else to offer.

It is funny bc everytime we meet a non-native person, 9 times out of 10 they say how the don't like it here. I just don't know why these people stick around. I mean, I know they have good jobs and all, but still, my thing is that you need to be happy where you are. We both have tried so hard to find good things about this place and we can only come up with the weather, even though now it is pretty cold by their standards. We are sticking it out and hopefully will be able to go back home (or at least closer) in July when our lease is up.

I feel awkward asking but I recall in a thread months ago about who makes more, you commented that your H makes 50G MORE than you do, did that change or was that not you?

Are you asking me or someone else?

I would think I was asking the kiki since I didnt quote you in any way, unless it WAS you who said that.

I just tried to PM you, but the stupid thing wouldn't send, so I will just share here.

Nick and I had a similar issue with TTC- we had originally agreed we'd go off the pill in September. August arrived, and he decided that we needed to talk finances before we started trying... Now, I totally understood his rationale- it was a good idea to plan, and I got that- but I was upset with the timing.

As it turned out, when we sat down and went through the figures, we really didn't need to worry much- and now I'm getting a new job I've been the one postponing. I understand how disappointing it is to wait, but you will be grateful that you don't need to worry about finances while pregnant when you get there. Try not to let it get you down.

No, I don't remember saying that. I usually don't talk about those kinds of issues over the internet to people who I don't know very well.

kikibaby · December 2010

Thanks, sun! It is disappointing, but I know it's the right thing to wait.

Nebb- I don't know why you're asking that or how it is relevant.

Nebb · December 2010

Just curious is all, if it was true I would assume it would be fairly easy to fix the problems you quoted.

kikibaby · December 2010

Well, you'd assume wrong. And, no, my H doesn't make 50K more than me.
