Letting go of what we own wouldn't be much of a problem. The big stuff would be easy enough to sell and the small stuff would be easy enough to give away. Debts are something that I don't take lightly and would not, under any circumstance, be able to handle hanging over my head. I literally would not be able to sleep at night if I knew I left a debt behind, both for moral reasons as well as the fear of having to deal with the financial and legal repercussions. So yes, handling any debt would be at the front of my mind.

One of my friends married a Canadian and moved up North. He said before he could get his citizenship or whatever, he and his wife had to go through interview sessions with the government to make sure they were legit. He said at one point he forgot her birthday and started freaking out and the interviewer laughed it off saying something to the effect that it's the perfect sign that they were a legit couple.

Yes, we will definitely visit, probably multiple times, any place we visit before moving there. We will probably also make sure at least one, if not both of us, have jobs lined up before leaving. Taxes'll be a pain in the ass. They always are.

In all honesty, I've been harping on her for about two or three years now that we should move to a flyover state or some where rural as fuck. Probably not Appalachia, because they're having a hard time right now, and probably not one of the flyover states because they really are like a third world country sometimes, but I could see Wisconsin or Minnesota work out for me, and while I joked with _refugee_ about it in this thread, I really have heard nothing but nice things about Wyoming.
