Jared,
My fiance and I also thought about relocating to Myrtle Beach, we too love the beach! However the one thing that has stopped me right now is the job market. I don't know what industry you and your wife are in, but there is not a huge job market, unless you are in Hospitality / Restaurant management. I have searched the job postings for about three months with no luck!

Just a thought...best of luck to both of you.
Stay where your are unless you are a doctor, lawyer, or some kind of professionalor rich. Unless, you enjoy making 8.00-10.00 an hour. Hard to pay a mortgage witht that
