My parents retired in northern Arizona 5 years ago and want to come back to central Ohio. They are having a rough time finding a reputable mover to take their things.

4 years and 8 months ago I started a thread (see below) about possibly buying a bigger house which would lower our savings rate. Well, we decided to stick it out in our current house and keep banking and things are still great. My wife still stays at home and my income has jumped from $90k to...
