A Brilliant Idea

I'm forming a new tactic in the Moving to America campaign. My husband is concerned we won't have enough cash to fund the venture. And as I lay in bed a few hours ago pondering this dilemma, I remembered something my mother and I talked about a couple months ago. Why not send me ahead to find a job, get health and car insurance and our son's schooling squared away, and send him money every month until we get our finances in order?

Isn't that a great idea? Before I leave, I could go through our stuff (half of which is still in cartons from our move last year) and sort out what to keep (a few sentimental items) and what to throw away (most everything). Then, my husband can take care of selling what's saleable, including the car, since he'd be doing all that on his own, anyway. And assuming our son goes with me, our expenses here would be cut in half because I'd be living with my parents and not accruing any.

That would work, don't you think? Huh? Don't you?

Now if I could only sell my husband on it...
