Wife and I both work remote and moved to austin semi recently. Wife hasn’t made many friends since moving to austin due to us working from home - anyone have suggestions on where we could get involved/meet some folks (we’re both in our 30s). Or if anyone here is also looking and think you’d like to meet us feel free to reach out! We work a decent amount but love to get out and be social when the activities are around (much easier pre wfh era). Thanks in advance all.

Do you guys have kids or a pet? We’ve found it easier to socialize and meet people in both cases as it draws people together who have something in common.

Your wife could also look into joining the junior league. Lots of volunteering and opportunities to meet other ladies in town.

No kids or pets here which is what makes it harder.

We’ll have to search that. She works full time so not sure that time commitment, but can check.

I used to, my wife is a little rusty but would be happy to play!

I’ll have to look into this community. The search online makes it look like it’s just classes. Is it more just classes/events or open courts people can attend to meet people?

She should join class, Facebook groups, Nextdoor, women of Austin events.

Church is a great place to meet people with similar interests.

Think about this for a minute... why would you sell a book? Because you didn't want it anymore or it was beyond its useful life, kinda like an old car... it's old, rusty and needs more maintainence than it provides useful transportation, it's in the repair shop more often... everytime it goes in you find something else wrong with it? Plus, the prices the buyers are willing to pay are outrageous, by the time you get it paid off it's in the junk yard. No easy solution to building a sustainable business except hard, persistent work.

Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
