I'd much rather move overseas to Europe at this point. Would need a place with lots of Dairy and lots of IT though.

Dairy is pretty common in Europe. They drink milk just like Americans do. And they don't import it from Asia or anything weird.

I'm from NJ. No one seems to know what a Pork Roll is outside of the tri-state area. Used to it

Even in the tri-state, only NJ calls it a pork roll. The rest of the world doesn't care and just thinks of it as generic-SPAM.

Blasphemy. There is nothing generic about it.

Which is funny... because people I know in the industry, connections again, are telling me we export most of our milk as powdered to the Asian markets. I haven't been able to verify that though.

Well sure, because Asia is short of food production. Europe, however, makes a LOT of food. It's an agricultural boom area.

Guess I'll have to keep an eye open then. Moving is hard as we have lots of family in the area.

I can't leave NJ for the same reason. My fiance is very close with her family.

Yep, I'm like your fiance. I spent most of my childhood moving from place-to-place. Didn't have a permanent home until middle school. Thankfully that was in my parent's hometown with lots of family close by.

Travel to and from the US has traditionally been very easy. However that is one of the things that Trump wants to change.

Between the demands of my job, studying for my CCIE, managing the servers for two doctors offices (friends of mine) and planning for a wedding I don't understand how our families can have any expectations of seeing us in the near future. You'd think they'd at least be coming to us, but no.
EDIT: The real crazy thing too is it's only her family. My brother lives in LA, my dad who lived locally passed away and my mom lives in England. What would we do if we had to appease two families? How do you guys deal with this stuff? I established boundaries for myself but my fiance just does whatever they want. It's rough.

For those considering rapid relocation.... Panama and Albania offer Americans (currently, don't be surprised if this goes away) six months and one year of residency and right to work, no questions asked. Canada and the UK offer six months right to live. France, Spain and Kosovo have some of the friendliest paths to citizenship.

I'm keeping a list of my FB friends who say they are moving.

My wife's family is 6 hours away. We see them once every month or so. My parent's, and an uncle, live 8 miles from where we live now. We see them several times a week.

What's the job market like it those areas? Specifically IT related jobs.

I guess this question would be more for your wife then as I'm in her position. I'm all for family but I don't think that people in our situation (professionally oriented, responsible, extremely busy people) can reasonably accommodate their "needs". Her Dad's retired. Like dude, drive here.

I'm glad someone understands. @scottalanmiller must have been away for too long.
