Come next week. This is a difficult decision. Not only to sell my house, but the prospect of going home without employment. It is downright scary. But my desire to go home has never been so high.
It is my belief that it will be easier to obtain employment once I am home than to obtain it from here. That is one major reason for leaving Georgia without first obtaining employment.
If nothing else, I can probably find work in the retail sector. I did it for many years before coming to Georgia, and even for a year after I got here. It is respectable work, but it is also low-paying. I will be able to supplement my income with the profits from the sale of my house. At least for 6 months. I can survive on that money, but my spending will be curtailed. Lots of weekend nights at my house, my family or friends houses.
The part that makes me the most nervous is not having health benefits. In the case of an accident or an emergency, medical bills could drain my savings.
I have applied for a few jobs. My confidence isn’t too high right now. And I am still doubting my decision to leave without a job… but if I feel it’s something I have to do, then I will do it. I pray that everything works out for me and my family. I hope that whomever reads this prays for the same.
