Change isn’t always easy.
Fear of the unknown, the cost, the effort – there’s a lot to think about. You may be worried about how your kids will adapt to a new school or feel about leaving their friends and activities. It’s also hard to leave a place where you’ve made memories and feel comfortable.
Taking the First Steps
Change can be overwhelming but taking these initial steps can help.
- Get on the same page as your spouse, partner and/or family members.
- Get informed on all that’s involved.
- Check out school districts and neighborhood amenities.
- Research commute times, or drive times to kids’ activities, shops, etc.
- Get to know the community via social media and by talking to the locals.
