What would motivate you enough to move to another state and / or country?
Better job prospects,
living costs, house prices or a knowledge of the local language or culture.

I can't think of
anything that would make me move. I'll move to a smaller house one day,
but I want to stay near my family.

Cost of living
and quality of living. It is becoming more and more congested in New Jersey.
When my kids are out of High school and in college, my husband and I are
going reevaluate the living situation and live somewhere quieter and with
less traffic.

I would move to
another state for a job if I were broke. I don't know what would make
me move to
another country. Maybe love would do it. When I was much younger, I thought
about leaving if Nixon was elected. I stayed, and survived, so a bad government
wouldn't necessarily do it.

I would move to
another state if my fiance had to relocate for his work. It would take
wild horses and many assorted mild altering drugs being forced into me
and on a daily basis to get me to even think about moving to another country.

The job of my dreams,
accompanied by a very large salary.

Not much. This
is a very expensive state and when I first moved here, I suffered from
culture shock for a month. Would burst into tears for no reason. I'm used
to it now and love all the cultural
opportunities here and of course, all the nearby natural areas. Still,
when we retire, there's no way we'd live here.

I'm motivated right
now, however, my wife loves Georgia. She is the reason I was motivated
in the first place to move to Georgia from Northern NY state.

When my husband
dies, I will move to be closer to my son and daughter-in-law so they won't
have to grapple with the difficulty of long distance caretaking.

Saylorsburg, PA USA
In the past I've
been motivated by many things, mostly job opportunities. At this moment,
to move out of state I think love or an ailing family member would be
the only things to get me to move.

A great job for
me. A great job for my SO. Some sort of calling limited to the new area.
This would have to be after my parents have passed. Or. Retirement.
Cristin,

Frisco, TX USA
What has motivated
me -- and in the past ten years (to the day) I've moved from New York
City to London to Florida to Oregon -- has been a combination of people
I love and a sense of adventure.

A change if I felt
it was needed or an opportunity if I thought it was there.

If my husband had
to move for work. Or if something was wrong with this country or state
and that one was better.

a good job offer

I live 3-4 hours
away from most of my family. It would be difficult to move away from them.
I suppose a fabulous job could lure me away if it had the benefit of money
and the ability to travel to see my family as needed. Mostly, I love Virginia.
Her beautiful lush mountains, rich valleys, sweeping seaside, the change
of season, the Southern sensibilities and precious history are all reasons
to stay.
Cindy,

VA USA
It
would have to be pretty big. Either big bucks, big opportunity or a big
love. Because I don't know if I could ever leave my freinds and family.

A
really great job opportunity.
