Escaping to new life, need some advice?

First of all you have to work a quarter of the year to get unemployment from that job. 90 days is not enough. I do understand where you are at. I was there 10 years ago. I divorced and moved to where I really wanted to live within my means and started a whole new life. It was the best move I ever made. I don't think you should take all the money. That would not be right or fair to her. You want to do this right, so think about where you are going and where you will work and what money you wil need. I had my escape so planed out, that when I finally did it, it was a very easy thing for me and my children. Good Luck. I hope you find your happiness.
