Making Concessions 

It is not enough just to sell and leave where we are, of course: that is solely in service to moving somewhere sustainable on our shared income. And that is proving trying. TheMate works inside the boundaries of Toronto: finding a place to rent within 'commuting distance' requires a very broad concept of such distance. I've encouraged TheMate to think outside the box.

She has.

Moving out to a Concession alottment in Guelph would afford us a small home on a tiny space of property.

I *have* often said my retirement plan is to throw away my electronics and walk into the woods ...

@Momentrabbit that's uh. that's quite the drive. would you just be putting the money into the gas budget?

If we go out far enough, it begins to make more sense financially for TheMate to retire early, possibly. Or change to part-time different work closer to the new place. Lots of variables.
