Reason: Don’t force schools to reopen, but don’t force families to pay for closed schools either

Yep. I'm there now. I'll never not have a house payment, as my property tax payment is very close to my actual mortgage. Wife and I are openly talking about when we'll move and where to. It is likely to be years, but who knows. And I am not just shooting the breeze: we moved to NY willingly from the south years ago. There is nothing stopping us from doing it again. I could do my job from a cell in north korea as long as I have wifi, and she could get a job anywhere as well. NC would be on the short list. It's a purple state, but it's well located, politically still better, and economically better.

In a similar boat.

Working on refinancing the house now so I can pay it off at least 5 years before retirement if not earlier. Then just left with the tax which is a similar proportion.

Not sure where we'll go, though; if my wife's health stays the same as it has, we need to be near best in show specialists that we're able to drive to as she cant fly (had to drive to J. Hopkins in MD back in January). Like you, I can work anywhere with decent internet and cell.

It's a good life, generally, but sometimes these fuckers really beat you down.
