hahaha that's fucked

do your research first before making such a big move. 15k ain't much if the cost of living is a lot higher than where you are currently.

that's what i'm sayin'. she was making more but really wasn't because it cost so much more to live there, she was worse off than before she got the raise.

Where do you live now and is the employment secure? I'd hate to have them move you out, only to lay you off in a year.
