<prompt> Human: Recently, my wife and I have discussed moving to a different state. Were in a good place financially and this decision potentially could have set us back. I would have guaranteed work in the new state, but we were unsure of her ability to find work at a similar salary level to what she currently makes.Despite the financial uncertainty, the move just felt right and we began planning. Eventually, her employer agreed to let her work remotely from home and our problem was solved!I know this sub focuses heavily on numbers. Have there ever been moments in your life where you made a decision against what the numbers suggested you should do? Was it a crazy move? Impulsive investment? Opening a business?How did it work out for you? Do you regret the decision?EDIT for details: To explain how this decision was going against the numbers, Im transferring to a different location with the same company. My income was protected. My wife would have had to find a new job. We had serious concerns about her ability to find a similar jobpay in the new area. We could not have made it on my income alone and we would need her income to be more than minimum wageentry level. We started planning the move with faith that she should be able to find decent work. It worked out better that we could have hoped because now her salaried income is guaranteed in the new location. This means that we can for the most part keep our momentum we currently have of paying off debt.  <response>: According to the numbers you should walk to work, only eat rice, beans, and assorted vegetables, never drink, never venture outside the modest rental you live in, only get entertainment from the public library, etc. But thats bullshit. Everything is a balance between the numbers and the life we want. You set a goal and try to map out life through retirement. With an outline, then you try to find the best way to make the numbers as high as possible so youll continue to have options.
