Wondering if anyone knows where there is some power gen work in southern bc? I’ve been a power gen tech and gas compression tech up north for years and looking to move and curious what opportunities or where the stationary engine work is at Thanks!
Does the drip pan sit on top of the fire box or use this lip and sit higher on the box??
I’ll try to make this short and not drag it out. I have lived in a remote area in Canada with long harsh winters all my life. The winters are brutal with extreme colds often -40c and winter seems to drag on for 6 months.
Long story short we had our first kid 2 years ago and have been talking about moving somewhere with a better climate and more outdoor activities available for our new young family. I have my mind set on 4 more years due to my wife staying home now instead of working until the kid starts school then she will go back to work.
Financials are 32 years old with 820k invested in various accounts. Have about 180k in home equity. About 50k in paid off vehicles.
I am a trades worker with multiple tickets usually make 180k-200k a year depending on bonuses.
The area we live in is obviously a high income and low cost of living due to housing being affordable still.
Currently spending roughly 60k-70k a year to live fairly comfortable.
I have looked for a few jobs in the areas we want to move and it seems like they average 80k-110k a year. So definitely a drop. The housing is also a lot more expensive. Roughly double the price for a house
My wife will make about 70k-80k a year when she goes back in a few years.
Starting to wonder if I am just wasting time here or if the high income and low cost is worth it for 4 more years or stat to consider to move now… doesn’t seem like the investment needle moved much anymore like it used to
