Selling our recently-renovated home will be a problem as you can't give houses away around here. I would prefer to stay here if at all possible, but relocating is something I'm seriously considering, especially to a region of the country with a more mild climate and stronger economy...

Art, hopefully you will have some resolve soon. Been there done that.
If I had really spent time looking when we moved last year, I think I would have ended up in the Carolinas. Seems the economy is still decent, housing affordable, lots of tech jobs (there like a tech triangle or something they call it). I know folks who live in Ashville and love it and they moved from Santa Barbara. I think you get some of the best things of some places, without the harsh bad of others, if that makes sense. Just a thought. Good luck to you. Oh, I'd take the money and run unless you know for sure the non-voluntary package will exist down the road. Ford will stop at nothing to save cash and I don't think I'd put my eggs in that basket..maybe I'm just paranoid.
