Hunter4Life43:Just a few thoughts: 1)moving to the city results in a higher wage, but also results in paying more income tax. 2)as mentioned by another forum member, higher property taxes, or if renting, the rent could be much higher. 3)being involved in a family farm plus working out takes a lot of time commitment. Are any of your family members able to buy your share out if you did decide to move? 4)is your partner forced to relocate due to down sizing? Sometimes the cost of relocating far out weighs the income going into your bank account. I was given a similiar option here in Canada several years back, and turned it down due to a much higher cost of living in the city. I was fortunate, that I was able to keep my same job with the company where I was working, not lose it because I was not willing to transfer, and sink myself into further debt. The best of luck in your choice.
