The fact that I’m writing this post is sickening. And I can’t believe the current state of American housing and pay.
My company wants me to relocate to a new city to expand our business, they’re going to give a decent raise, however, no relocation assistance.
This is an opportunity everybody dreams of, being recognized for their work, and being offered a new position with higher pay for it.
The insane part, is that even with this raise, and selling my current home for a small profit, I will be completely unable to afford any home within a 50 mile+ radius of this new job location. This all leads to the realization that I may have to decline this opportunity because it’s too expensive to accept.
Ps: I have a wife, and 2 dogs, so there is a minimum quality of living that I cannot go below for the sake of my family.
