I'm already paying to live here, so I'm not counting that as an expense. (Because Ben likes his job*, may or may not be able to find one in Prague, and then there are the cats... and I'm not really keen on spending 2 years away from him & them :/ My 1-yr residency in Oregon was bad enough, though there were complicating circumstances (rain, unfriendly coworkers, etc).)
*And if he left, his company would be screwed, since he's the only programmer. Though if we move to Berlin, he'd have to quit; hopefully by then their company would have more money to hire a replacement. Maybe the bigger company they're contracting with will buy them/their patents, which would make for interesting changes. Berlin is more of a "I want to do this by 2020" type of thing.
Argh. IDK. I want to write, and I want that to pay, but it isn't, and I'm frustrated, and I haven't had work in 2.5 years, and I'm tired of not being able to buy things I want or travel. Though I *really like* not having full time job commitments and being able to meet my writers group in daytime.
