And are you saying, the company isnt paying for your hotels while in NY?

I've been traveling enough in my career thus far that I know everything happens when I'm gone...
And correct, the are NOT paying hotels or food while in NY.
The option they gave me was take this "deal", or they would give me a severance package. So the loss of some income to hotels (rent $$ to my friend) at this point was better than complete loss of income.
Lot's of good advice.... and I know I'm going to be burning the candle at both ends to even remotely make this work.
On top of all of this my dad is 85, but thankfully in perfect health. We lost mom last April, and we're just starting to be able to get back to an even keel. I see dad virtually every dad as he owns the small business building that I have my office in.
At this point, I have no way out of trying to make this work for at least the short term. My wife's income fell to zero as she's a commercial mortgage broker, and hasn't been able to make a deal fly in 8 months...but she's encouraged by some recent deals she's been working on.
I've started immedietly to look at other opportunities in different kinds of sales, and have contacts in a lot of different industries.
Thanks for all the ideas and comments....helps solidify what I think I already know!
Oh, and Yes, I think we could work out the NY trip now and then, particularly in summer, as I do have mileage, and will be accumulating more!
