I Want To Leave But My Wife Doesn't Want To 

Amen!! I wish all calls were like this!! Concise! To the point. No unnecessary FLUFF

His made Dave really think. not easy for him.

@@AIrn6087 im thinking it wouldn’t be the show it is now I’m an idiot and even I laugh at the callers so in other words not as many people would tune in

I wish everyone knew how to stick to the point like this guy

Actually he don't. That's why he called

@@a-youngrocky8541 That's what I was thinking hah.

He was easy to listen to. Didn't interrupt and actually seemed open to advice, as opposed to hoping for a particular answer. Refreshing to hear.

VERY different from the usual riff raff who calls Dave, lol. Caller has a great voice.

Same. I’ve read “I want to leave my wife but she doesn’t want.”

Me too

Same! HA! I thought, "Oooo, this is going to be good!"

finding.liberty same 😂😂

Crazy how the eyes the same thing at first glance 😁

have faith and go and do it

Up and move man. Its fun. You can always go back.

Same

I made that move. Have never looked back or regretted. Great weather successful career. Don’t live with regret.

FEEEELLLLZZZZZZZ

Yeah they tricked me as well

The Obsolete Geek Not by accident

I was thinking divorce initially

It's all about perspective and where your mindset is at the current time you read it; because I received it just the way it was meant to be.

It should say “move”, they did this on purpose.

They probably worded it that way on purpose for clickbait ha

Thats what I thought.

exactly how i read it too!

Me too

😆😆

This made me laugh. Good story

@Anna annanymous I can vote if that helps to answer your question. 😊

@Anna annanymous what a rude question. Glad You were proven wrong.

Think before you leap. You have a good job and income for what sounds like a low cost semi rural area. You will need a 50 % or more increase in wages to have anywhere near the life you have now...maybe more with housing costs to live near a big city e as precisely if you plan on going to sporting events. Restaurants, etc. Will you get a job like that...who knows.. send out resumes and see. You have a wife and children all that costs more in a big city area plus c trips back home. Life stopped being about only you over a dozen years ago. Most people are unhappy in their job...but the grass is slwsys greener. Yes most members live lives of quiet desperation. Never having played the song in their heart...but at least the kids have food in their bellies and clothes on their backs and a roof over their head and a wife who knows the sacrifices you make/made. And that us priceless. Uour wife literally risked her life to bring forth your children...childbirth is still a potentially lethal process. Not as much as in the past but still no walk in the park. LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP. PEACE

@@voiceinthewildernesscrying8426 listening to this caller, he HAS been thinking it out... for years! He clearly has put a great deal of thought into a tough decision and clearly has taken his family's concerns into consideration. Though your advice is wise for someone who is impetuous, this caller had already figured this out; it's the impetus for his call.

I decided. If they’re successful in banning guns for real. Here in the U.S. Japan would be awesome option.

Man you stay living in the comments section for this channel.

MinerMovie, There is a time for everything but now is not the time. I have moved 23 years ago but that is after I can run a successful business anywhere in the world, money in my bank and not have to depend on jobs or fund from the banks. A pipe dream and reality , is 2 different thing. I did when I was 40years old , prior to that work, work ,work and save.

@@judymckee5992 lol what?! If he can get a job there it's not a huge *financial* deal. The social deal, sure, but the finances are like no different, guy can move if he wants...

@@Anthony-qx1ps and if his wife can get work too, its not just him who needs to find work here

@@cloudedcolour5329 I don't remember the situation or anything about this

DK, With a job that pays that much, in a rural area, this is a different ball game. Why not take the next 3 years and save as much as you can, like $100k than relocate , say to Texas,florida, Louisiana ,Atlanta and buy a house cash, when the real estate tank in 2023 ( bottomed).

A few years ago I went out to California for a few weeks to visit friends. Fell in love with the place, decided I wanted to relocate out there. The more research I did, the more discouraged I got. I finally decided that the cost of living and the available jobs, or lack thereof, just made it too unattractive. I had a hard time justifying leaving all my family and a secure, relatively well paying job, to most likely get a job that made paid much less, in an area with a much higher cost of living.

Other way around for me. CA is so expensive but the weather, social services and diversity/lesser problem w racism is worth it for me. Lived in AZ, cheaper but My God, racism is so blatant. sometimes you have to pay more for better quality of life. since CA has better social services -- more jobs for paramedical and social work. It may not be a problem for some but I feel safer in CA being a minority. fewer Karens and my nephew needs to worry lesser abt bullying -- very diverse school system. That's worth paying more for me.

I moved from CT to TN 11 years ago and never looked back. TN has a lower cost of living and higher standard of living. The Northeast will tax you to death.

Husband and I left Massachusetts 23 years ago for 8 acres in rural central Tennessee. It was the best decision of our life. He is now retired, our home is paid off and we have a paid in full vacation property in a rural area of central Florida.

I agree. I live in Miami, Florida and everyone wants to move here. But career wise there's nothing for me here (too competitive). I need to try a different state.

Jesse Norwalt we had to make two huge moves during our kids Middle and high school years. They were resentful at first, but they all ended up agreeing that it was the best decision in the long run. Now as adults they feel like they can make a life anywhere. The funny thing is, none of them want to go back to where they have lived.

Moving every 3-5 years tears friendships just when they've become close. Do it sooner or don't.

CL, He and his spouse makes $130k a year, different from your situation!!

Me and my husband live in Santa Fe, NM. It’s a great place to retire and that’s about it! We are looking to move to another state with our two little ones soon. We lived in Colorado, but came back to NM for family. Bad decision! We’ve been miserable ever since.

That wasn't his advice at all? He was using a car purchase as a metaphor. If you buy a car and don't like it, you can sell it and buy a new one. If you move and don't like it, you can move back.

Dave never said that. Stop with fake news. CNN has enough.

I really like this idea.

Thank you for interjecting common sense.

CRON BTC me too!

Do it you guys! I'm originally from Chicago, moved to a college town in Wisconsin, went to New York city for a bit...decided I want a rural life went to Wisconsin, Arizona now Michigan....most amazing experience and so inexpensive to live!

@@missy3505 , With 4 young children?

@@judymckee5992 As far as I know they allow young children!

Same

I thought about moving to Miami. Is it that bad to get some friends over there?

leonel perez I don’t know if it’s me or not. I have a great wife and great parents. But, I have a hard time bonding with other males here.

I moved from NY to Miami 3 different times the 4 th Time was the charm. Never Gave up on my dream I love it here. No family and just co-workers my friends circle it's very small. And that's the way I like it. (you need a good job)

That's sound like the best idea I ever heard!!!

I’m also thinking of moving out of state from Queens. We own a two family house so my husband wants us to rent it out and move so we can test the waters. My husband is applying for remote jobs. I’m a teacher so I can teach anywhere. He makes way more than me so we can always try it out for a year and if we like wherever we go, I can then apply for a teachers license and get a job and stay permanently. Let’s see what happens because Corona has thrown a wrench in our economy.

update?

@@JudePi-jx7yo still here and finally under contract to sell the NYC apartment, closing next month (fingers crossed). Best decision we ever made for ourselves..

Well, not if you want to go to a bar without having to get a driver. My friend lives within walking distance to several and it's extremely nice to not have to worry about that.

Tired of the cold really

No, 20 min to the grocery store? Noooo, I hate that.

I live in Phoenix AZ and get upset if there isn’t a grocery store within like 5 to 7 minutes. I literally have several options, Walmart, Target, Sprouts, Frys, Safeway, and Winco, all within 10 minutes. Safeway is 2 minutes from me, Winco and Target are about 4, frys is about 10 and Walmart is like 6. A 20 minute drive to a grocery store is so not like able or appealing.

I agree

This

There was no other number to call.

@A G then ask about the finances

WT Keeton I was thinking the same thing. I’m in New Hampshire and I’d move there.

I moved from Wisconsin to PA 3 years ago and it is so such warmer in the winter. I barely notice it and added bonus my kids can actually play in the snow because its not -25 for many months

I’ll say near Pittsburgh we get like 60 sunny days a year. The rest is either rain, overcast, or snow. The weather here sucks.

He might live near Erie, Pa. Lake Effect Snow.

@@azoharadonis9452 Ya live near Pittsburgh too....the best advice I give myself each year, is if its nasty year round, use the horrible weather to my advantage. So I bike year round, and want to try cross country skiing and snowshoeing during the snowy season. Trying to figure out what I can do during the rain still. LOL. Wanted to move to NC, but hubby said no. 🙁

Sounds like the dream

😂

I’m ready! Lol!

Anthony Kence hilarious 😭😭😭

Yee haw

I want to leave here too!

I want to leave So Cal also....

Cannot blame you for wanting to leave such an expensive, and liberal state!!!

I feel the same about Chicago

I left and it was the best decision!

If he moves to the South the cost of living is much cheaper and he gets more house for his money.

I agree. When you are making a move, you have to take everyone situation in consideration. Money doesn't always solve all your problems.

His oldest kid is nearly old enough to babysit their siblings, they don’t really need their extended family close by. If the family wants to see the kids, they’re just a short plane ride away and likely visit whenever they want.

Wow you’re projecting...I’d recommend speaking with a therapist about some unresolved issues. The parents can easily find a babysitter in their new city. I grew up thousands of miles away from any extended family and it was fine. All I’m saying is you don’t need to stay close to extended family. They can come visit if they want to, in the new city. Find a sitter in your new church. It’s honestly not a big deal to live far away from family.

I think the caller said he wants to live just outside a big city. So he can definitely have a huge backyard in the suburbs of a city/metro area. I didn’t think he said he literally wants to live IN the city.

Out of area landlord is a nightmare waiting to unfold.

like you.....

@@whyme7996 -I'm sorry if you've had to endure a selfish spouse-like my ex

Move to the woods buddy. Then your wife will envision you earning six figures in woods. Never base decisions on a woman's intellect and emotions. It has rarely succeeded in human history of some thousand or million years.

@@DsDs-nu7nw 😂😂 Ouch

My husband needs a wife like yours im too wall street 😫

And a pearl is only created by the irritating grain of sand in the clam

Make it happen!

Both decisions so brave. Sounds like a good marriage.

It’s actually a popular opinion, if you read through the comment section.

I agree 100%!

I completely agree with you! Dave doesn't need any help at all with his show!

I actually like what he adds to the show

They do this every time a new guy joins the crew.

There is clearly a difference in experience. I bet you John would be so much different 20 years from now.

I agree...I feel as if he doesn’t have enough life experience to answer some of these types of question. Perhaps he needs a bit more wisdom and maturity.
