It has always been me pushing to get the HE11 out of here and head to the country but since our latest break-in on Friday my WIFE is pushing to do a little work on the house,sell it and get out.

Funny thing is I am now the one trying to slow things down a little. .

I think we need to not rush into selling as right now in our present situation we are making enough money to be able to pay for BOTH this house and a nice little farm somewhere.

I do feel helpless in the sense I KNOW there is little I can do to reassure my wife-she is afraid to be home by herself(I understand this completely,it was a violation of OUR personal space) and the dog we have is not much help(she was INSIDE the house when it was robbed )

Not really looking for a solution but it is a quandary.

I DO feel if we just found a place in the country it would help a lot as it would be a big step towards our dreams.

We are both VERY disillusioned with this area.

No offense taken

It isn't that I want to stay here(I HATE it here),it is that as of a few months ago we are in a position financially speaking to where we could comfortably pay $1500/month towards a property.

Doing that for 2 years gets us $36000 paid down on the land.

But our well being(both physical and mental) is more important than that.

We are going to take a week off the first of the year and go look at a farm up in TN.Looks promising,23 acres farmhouse in need of interior work,pond and owner financing.All for $69900.

Maybe it will work out for us.

My wife put it plainly last night-she just doesn't feel safe here anymore.

And that is something that is very difficult to restore....
