   H and I both look at each other and say "you'd never move" and I say to him "you'd never move".

MAINE.

   Our goal is to someday come back here to put down roots, with a soft deadline of when our first kid hits kindergarten. But when he moved out here 3 years ago we thought it was permanent, and now we have 2 houses with no equity that we have to figure out what to do with.

   I get antsy to move all the time. It's strange and difficult to think that the house we are purchasing is going to be the house that we live in till our kids leave or we die. We had always talked about possibly moving to Seattle after a few years in AZ, but that's a very slim likelihood now. We can't ignore how good DH's…

   TD, we are going with the bare minimum that we won't move in the next 10 years. Its our hope that in 10 years, we'll have sufficient equity in this house. I moved a lot as a kid and DH did move when he was younger. It's hard, and while it wasn't the end of the world, we'd like to avoid it. Seeing as I'll hopefully be…

   i2i w/PMeg - this was the best time for us to move across the county - before we have to factor kids into the move. We bought our current house with the assumption we'd never move, and are planning on the same thing in TX.

    I don't know that FI and I will ever buy a house with the assumption that we'll never move. We're avoiding buying in CA for that exact reason.
