When you’re searching for the perfect place to live, you have some seriously important considerations to make. You need to make sure the place you choose suits your lifestyle and the way you want to live perfectly. Here are just a few considerations you’ll have to make:

Your Budget

How much can you spare each month/year to live in the perfect place? Whether you’re planning on renting or getting a mortgage, you need to know how much you have to spend. Different areas in different countries will all come with different price tags. You need to take into account whether you’ll have a job lined up too. How much will you be earning? Can you afford public transport/petrol costs to work? Money isn’t everything, but it does affect the way we live a lot of the time.  

What Your Family Wants

What does your family want from life? They are hugely important, and need to come into your considerations. Even if you don’t have children yet, you might want to anticipate what it would be like to live in a particular place with children if you plan on staying a while. What are the schools like in a certain area? What is your lifestyle like at the minute? Will you be able to continue living that way in the area you have your eye on? Moving your children too far away from other family members and friends might not be a great idea.

Where You See Yourselves

Where do you all see yourselves in 5, 10 years time? What sort of lifestyle do you want to live? Paint a picture of your perfect life and make sure you can do everything you want to do. Do you want to live in the city with lots of hustle and bustle? Would you prefer the quiet countryside? Picture your lives and how you want to live it.

Safety

Make sure the area you choose to move to is safe. You can find out what it is like by doing research online. If possible, move to a safe neighborhood where you can bring your children up without fear. You won’t be able to find somewhere with no crime at all sadly, but you can make sure you move somewhere with low crime rates. You’ll feel so much happier knowing you’re all as safe as you can be.

Temperature

Maybe you’d like to live somewhere nice and hot? You might have to consider moving to another country! By taking the ‘where should I live quiz’, you should get a good idea of what you really want the most. You can even have a specific place suggested for you. It’s lots of fun and quick to do – I took the quiz and got Norway! Not somewhere I’ve even travelled to before!

By making these considerations, you should be able to find yourself the most perfect place to live. Will you move a few towns away, or to a totally different country? It’s your choice! This will have a huge impact on your lifestyle, so don’t take it lightly, just enjoy the journey.
