Not owning a car in CA is tough .. even in a place that has a solid transportation system. It might work if you both lived and worked close to a light rail station, but if you have to depend on buses, you are going to be spending a boatload of time on/waiting for buses. Don't you have a motorcycle? I'd keep that at least.

I understand what you are doing ... we are a few years out from no more kids in the house. Planning on downsizing (probably here) and getting remote jobs so we can spend about 4-6 months of the year elsewhere (pick a city and "live" there for a month kind of deal). That is where TX is of an advantage, we can buy a nice house (1500-ish sq feet) in a nice area for under $100K still or a nice Condo for $70K ish (which is what I want to do .. no yard work!)

Yeah, as to the auto part, I was thinking of keeping my motorcycle. I have an older Accord, so I could keep that as well, I'm just looking on getting 'light' on junk over the next few years :)

And, yeah sounds like we are in a similar position, looking to shrink household in a few years. and, for me, I want to take advantage of a chance to move/see new things. I just know my daughter can't move with me (her mom/divorce decree/etc.).

I do like the sound of TX for the cost of living-- I'd love the Condo and no yard work!! I want my weekends for fun, not mowing :)
 
Yeah .. real similar. I am also move prevented thanks to a divorce. Cannot wait until my youngest is 18 and that nightmare goes away. Operation BearFan and Mrs. BearFan (remarried) start operation "do what ever the fuck we want to"

OH, yeah, so you really do dig it!!

See, I'm going to be moving towards "operation finding Mrs Wasted" ... or "someone that wants to hang out with Wasted and have fun"... and do whatever the fuck I want :)

Sounds like you guys have less freedom in divorce than in marriage. How ironic.

For me, its a different sort of freedom. Freedom from a mental woman that was making me feel like I lived in an emotional and mental black hole. She just sucked the life out of me.

Now, I'm tied down because of kids, but that wouldn't be a lot different married or single.
 
I'm in a different place than Wasted and Bearfan.
My kids are of a similar age, but I have a feeling empty nest syndrome is going to hit hard.
 
So much of our day-to-day focus is tied up in the kids.
I'm glad my oldest is staying at home when she heads off to university in the fall.
