I've been toying with the idea of extending out here.

There's a lot of reasons for it - job uncertainty, etc.

But at the top of the list is money.  Tuition sucks big time.  My husband is in school full time, and my daughter will be heading off in the fall.

We're looking at financial aid stuff so we won't be poor, so we'll see how that goes. 

The money here is attractive, the conditions... well, I know what the conditions are like, at least.  It COULD be worse.  But, really, at the end of the day, I just want to be home with my family. 

I think that's going to trump everything else.
