True and she is due in two months. Overall there is no great time to move between now and probably about 2 months after the birth.

"Understatement" is putting it mildly. The cost of living difference is 1/2. If you're a homeowner living in San Jose, to maintain the same standard of living in Cincy you need just 1/2 the salary.

That could work but a new parent probably doesn't want to be away from their new child and even something as routine as a C section will mean that the new MOm will need a fair bit of help in the early days

Actually, check those numbers again. He's moving from the city of San Jose to any city in the Cincy area, not the city of Cincy itself. Compare San Jose to Hamilton, for instance. Even more of a difference.

And if he lives across the river in Covington, KY he can take a 60% pay cut and still have the same SOL.

Cinncinnati is a seriously inexpensive place to live. $200k buys you a big house in the city and $32k is about the same as making $50k in So Cal.

Can't say as I've been to Covington. Or at least have done nothing more than drive through it on the freeway.

In reality, if he wanted to, Japher could move to anything from a rural area to downtown highrise. It's not like San Jose in that regard. A half hour drive from downtown pretty much puts you in the country.

The big problem is if your wife has a regular doc, she may wish to have that doc see things through.

I just don't relish the idea of moving with a 5 or 10 day old. If she CAN move in advance of the birth and you are happy with the medical care you can arrange in Ohio, I would move ahead of time


My wife doesn't really care about the doc, and I agree that moving after is going to be just as tough. I gots some convincing to do.

Cincinnati has nationally reknowned medical facilities. I am certain we can find something that would suit her needs.

Our doctor says she can fly up to 6 weeks before her due date. I would like to take her out there within the next few weeks and find a place to live. Then, we would drive out with dog and cat in tow... man, that's gonna suck.

The job is Newtown, so I'd probably look around there (Eastern Cincinnati) or North eastern KY.

What do you mean "in mind"? We know it's different; hot and muggy in the summer, cold and snowy in the winter... We would just like to have a place that doesn't cost half a million dollars and is falling into the ground. We want to be able to save for our kids college as well as spend money on it while it is getting to college. Good schools, good community activities, good health care, good cultural aminities.

I meant what kind of area in which you would like to live. Are you looking for a starter home in the suburbs, living large in the country, a hip urban townhouse, etc.

I didn't mean "what the hell were you thinking?!" That comes later.

You'll want to go to the main home page - the particular page I linked to is for a script that will find open homes, not *all* homes. Just FYI.
