I love to ponder moving out of downtown Los Angeles. But there are so many high-tech jobs here, and I'm a high-tech guy. Seems so difficult to buck the urbanization trend.
I spent most of my high-tech career in LA, as well. As a single guy any
particular job didn't matter that much. Now that I'm not tied to a job
or location my wife's job is the tether because she loves it.
I don't think such tethers need to be broken. However, the marginal cost of securing
alternatives if tethers should get broken is low.
- Passports for the kids
- Scouting trips (Alone)
- Saving to pay cash for . . . anything.
The 'All or nothing' approach is perfect for single guys. With a family I've found that
background projects, such as those listed, are the way to go.
