And as far as finding a job, when we first moved back to Michigan, Joe sent out upwards of 200 resumes and applications and got one job.
I remember getting out of college in the early nineties. There were no jobs. Even getting underemployed was hard since they would look at the resume and, correctly, infer you were going to keep job-hunting the moment they hired.

god, so true. That was the summer and fall of 1000 resumes for me. Imagine how much worse it is now for grads.
I am thinking more and more about taking a part-time retail job when we move, so that I at least have some income coming in.
year of savings
I have never had more than a couple of month's salary in a savings account and that is while still sitting on thousands in cc debt. god, now I'm getting anxious.
Now that I remember, I did keep job-hunting after I got hired for my first real job.
The only reason I have about a year's living expenses in my savings is because my Dad had several life insurance policies when he died last year. And I was damn lucky I was in a position to sock it away. If I'd had medical bills or any of the many things that can hit one upside the wallet, that would be gone, too.

We have some of that too (not happy about how that happened). The minimum payments aren't much of a ding, but we're trying to get rid of it in 1-2 years not 20, so that's another big chunk.

First World Problem Ahoy! I'm finding I care more and more about trying to eat sustainable fish and I really want sushi for lunch but it's impossible to figure out what to order! The Monterey Bay Aquarium guide is sort of helpful but not when it comes to ordering off the takeout menu of the nearest to work sushi place! They don't have information about things being farmed or line caught or whatever. I could just get veggie items but, dag, I really want fish!
