Possible move...

[dracobaby82]

So with the way things are going here for us, with the oil field and things slowing down, there are other places that the oil field is going strong. He could likely be out of a job here soon within the month or so. And our rent is high, and no jobs in the near by towns, maybe something paying minimum wage.

So we are thinking of moving to a place we can make money, and stay making about the same amount of money as we are used to.

Our choices are Montana, North Dakota (oil field just starting up, so good time for there) or Texas (which is also going good right now)...

It's a hard choice, we don't really want to move out of state or anything, but it's starting to get a little scary the way things are going here with the industry. Anyone know anything about these states, what might be good, or bad or anything really.

I think montana looks like a cool place to live, but oil field is going better in the other states right now. The other hard part is I am pregnant and all my family is in colorado, so who knows if we were to move if we'd have much family help when the baby comes. We have 5 other kids, so that'll make it hard.

Oh man, that's got to be hard!  Texas is a good place, from what I've heard...we lived in Oklahoma for 3 years and LOVED it there...I wouldn't think Texas would be too much different.  Do they have any jobs in Utah??  That's where we are...lol...I'd be more than happy to help with the kiddos and stuff...ha ha!  Okay, but seriously, I'd say you guys need to consider the place with the best job opportunity as long as it's a good place to live...housing is less in Texas (for the most part anyway).
