Has anyone made huge changes in their life? My husband is considering a Career change and a move to a completly different part of Canada. I've heard of a lot people just picking up and moving to a new place or changing their careers. I find this a bit scary. My husband has thought of owning his owm bussiness someday, I know it is alot of work and money. I find it hard to part with savings that we worked so hard to save and put into a bussiness that is gonna take time to recoup. Has anyone ever done this? Anyonje just pick up and move to start a new life? Any Advice?

I guess I fall into this category. I moved from the US to Ireland after only thinking about it for 3 months. It was a real fly by the seat of your pants decision but 7 years later, I'm still in Ireland. My biggest advice would be to not burn your bridges and leave an escape route.

I do and I don't regret it. I miss home and family but this is my children's home. I only wish we could visit my home more often. Ireland is tightening up immigration policies so it is getting tougher, but it is one of the easier countries to move to if you are a skilled worker or the spouse of a skilled worker. Check out:

It'll give you all the basics.

I always believe in keeping a fallback option. I do not recommend to sink all your earnings in business. Suppose if the wife is in a position to work and support the family, when the husband is changing his career, it is better. When husband has picked up in his new assignments, wife is free to leave her job. Think twice before entering in to ventures like this. Keep a fall back option so that you can be supported in case of unforseen circumstances. Wish you all success!

I recently changed job. Worked as a caseworker in insurance, just got a job as an IT consultant. That's the biggest change I've made in some time :-)
