I'm back from Canberra, Australia and they call that the capital of Australia. It's a dead place and unfortunately I have to move there as my parents are expanding business and want me to do the accounting work and run things there. In return they will make me 50% partnership in the business. I've spoken to the misses and she doesn't want to go. What do you think I should do / or get her to convince her to come with me.
Know the bad thing is that I'm not going to have time to dragrace as much and I have to sell the house and get another one in Canberra. Then move everything there. I'll probably sell the FB and keep the FD. Help...

It's just not worth it I think. If you parents are willing to give you 50% of the bussines, then you're obviously gifted in what you do. Couldn't you use that to get a job there in Sydney that pays the same or better and stay? Or are you moving to help your folks?

Well, can you garranty me a job here for $60,000+AUD a year, then I'll stay. At the moment i'm getting $53,000AUD what ever that is in USD, so the more the better and don't forget I have 2 Rx7.

You both have to be happy with the circumstances. Money is not everything. Obviously your wife will have to quit her job so thats lost income. What is Canberra like? I would imagine Sydney is a hoppin city with lots to do. Are you prepared to be someplace quieter that possibly has less to do.
It sounds like if you move more of your free time will be taken up.
On the other hand it is family and they need help its a tough call. I said money isn't everything but this job could have potential too. 50% owner of a company is nothing to sneez at. You could possible buy a vacation home in sydney with all the crazyy money your making.
