My husband and I took a voluntary transfer from HRM to Niagara, ON 2,5 years ago. I went from a full-time and a casual job to a part-time job. I make at least $4 less an hour. My husband's pay is the same here. Ironically we are better able to live. I miss my parents immensely and have thought of moving back, since they won't leave their family and friends, but it isn't feasible. My husband's job is no longer there. (Convergys) and the thought of paying double for groceries and everyday bills makes me shudder. We could buy 2 houses here for what we would pay where we were living. My kids also have so many more learning opportunities here. We see the benefits every day to staying, and no feasible way to move back. If prices go down, I'd move back in a second!
