Here's my list of pros and cons for moving either in March or May.
Leave in May
+2k in savings
+quit 1st of may, have month of free insurance and time buffer to find MA job
+2 more deposits to 401k
+Jon would come, would rent truck, move both of us in one go
+classes would be over, no assignments to worry about
+won’t be without desktop for 2 months
-we’d both be stuck at mom’s until at least I found a job
-only 3 weeks in Japan, if that, maybe more like 2 and a half
-have to work at hospital longer
-can only take 2 classes in winter
-no other days off, 1.5d in oct, 2 in jan
-Iowa christmas again
Leave in March
+chance to do some volunteer work
+finished at hospital by 12th (yaayayaayaayaaaaa)
+longer Japan trip possible (want 2 wk in mar, 2 in apr)
+vacation time paid out (~1.5k)
+take three classes, start speeding up graduation date
+can take all half days off in November, longer Arisia trip, MA christmas
+get to MA first, find job before Jon gets there, hahaha.... maybe. IF I could find one.
-need to pay may,jun,jul rent out of pocket (1.1k)
+/- may be able to find subletters for june/july that would continue to next year
-half paycheck in apr, all to rent+bills
-only 650 in savings
-move Jon and I separate, round trip flight home mar back in may (~350), on top of truck and gas
-pay for month of apr insurance out of pocket, at least, longer if job hunt is longer
-find job/move/etc while juggling class assignments
So it basically boils down to... do I want more money or free time?
:/
Although it's really, really likely that we will find subletters for July that'll stay for the following year, I need to plan for having to pay for all of it, just in case. So my paid out vacation time would just cover rent and a flight home. Then I would need to rent a truck, which I believe Jon said he'd would go halfsies on, and pay for gas, which would then suck up my savings.
Sooooo, no money. I could do it, it would work out ok. Well, it'd be tight, but. Oh god, the free time. So much tiiiime.
*rolls eyes at self and smiles* I guess I've made my decision then.
(This is one half of the reason why I'm so bad with money. I firmly believe there are things that are more important than it.)
p.s. this last bit of change from lj with the facebook stuff was the last boot to the pants that I needed to make me actually use my dw account. Please feel free to add me over here, or just stalk, or whatever. I'll probably keep reading my lj filters, until I stop, and I'll probably keep cross-posting, until I don't. If anyone needs invite codes, let me know. I have five right now, and if I need more I will very happily give dw money for my account and generate more codes that way. An excellent win-win if I've ever heard of one.
