I never used to consider the possibility, but if the cost of living keeps rising and the right job came up in the right place I would consider, primarily in order to be closer to family.

Odds are strong though that I'll stay here. Unless the job situation goes for a crap.

We moved here pretty much on a whim, so the only thing I could see that might make us leave is one of us getting itchy feet and deciding on a whim to apply to go to another country.

Leave permanently....nothing.
However, I appreciate being able to leave here every October for sunnier climes for almost six months.
I am always pleased to return here despite the lousy spring weather that we are getting.

The Mrs's patience finally running out with her extended family here coupled with a good job opportunity elsewhere might make us leave.
