As I mentioned in a different thread's post, we have encountered some adverse stress during our now double relocation.
I believe most of the blame for this is the natural result of a just discharged BK13 (having to rent a house too far from a very demanding but extremely high paying job and having to buy two used cars immediately after arriving in the state) and finding decent but elusive ART chiropractic care (due to a dozen serious Colorado injuries over 12 quite unpleasant years.)
Since my husband sensed pretty quickly his job would not survive his daily two-hour commute, he snatched up a sprawling and unique rare "bargain" rental which only cost $125 more than the too far and too small HOA rambler and thereby improved our quality of life immensely with much more interior space, closer to better chiro choices and other amenities, a vast, almost 2-acre yard with abundant trees, privacy, visiting deer and other wildlife, and more importantly, a 20-25 minute commute for my exhausted husband who is still unpacking boxes and moving furniture, etc.
The only downside is we are still on the hook for the first ranch's monthly rent until April 2023 if the house remains vacant until then. Thus, the worst-case scenario is we will lose some of our remaining savings, but we will live a fuller and happier life nonetheless and my husband shall remain employed.
The Toyota and Mazda vehicles have been splendid choices so far (thanks to shipo 's sage advice) and we will never regret shedding those two awful Sentras.
We look forward to finally getting to explore Seattle and beyond.
On Monday, I will be attending my first foreign-language Meetup near our new location.
