Worried about how your kids will make it in a new school in a new state?
Did you know there are quite a few parents waiting for kids to graduate high school before making the move out of California?
Many parents have reached out to us to request some perspective from kids who moved out here and survived the big changes. So, we decided to start by interviewing the youngest of our family who made the move--our son, Samuel.
Samuel was just 11 years old when we left California in the summer of 2012. Today, he's all grown up with adult perspective on our move. He shares the good and the bad about moving to a new state, along with a pretty big mom-fail that happened his first year here.
AND...this episode has something for everyone.
If you're interested in learning more about rehab properties or fix and flip real estate, you'll be incredibly interested in what Samuel's doing now.
Email Samuel to be added to his property list.

Do lower salaries in Tennessee have you pumping the breaks on a move?
Researching where to live should include a lot more than your salary. We're talking about quite a few things that are free in Tennessee. Paul and Joanne break down the differences in cost of living in the Golden State vs. the Volunteer State.
When you begin to research making a move out of state, too often, we only look at the salary we make and the mortgage we may have.
There's a lot more to think about.
Before you give up on leaving, do all of the math.
Remember, it's not about what you make, it's about what you keep.
