Atlanta Missing Home Case Study
Scenario 1: Lisa to leave for Atlanta without the family
In the first scenario, I would have Lisa moving to Atlanta to get the new job. She would have to do this without her family. Since she has been offered the promotion, she can take on the new challenge and boost her career experience. The feeling of something missing can easily be translated to the absence of excitement and boredom. This could be possible as Lisa and Jim have grown in the same neighborhood since they were children and may need change. By Lisa moving out into the new place it could mean that the family will have to try out a long distance rather than the usual one that they have had to live by since they were children. This may eventually affect their marriage negatively if the situation is not managed properly.

The other negative attribute to staying is that they will not have the opportunity to increase their financial situation. They will still earn what they earn and this means that they will be at an economic standstill. Any possibility of having new projects will also be seized as the money will still be as it was.
Staying on could prove expensive in the long run for the family as if they go ahead and have more children the money will have to be squeezed so as to accommodate the larger family. This may not be such an intelligible idea as with more children there is increased need for more rooms, more things and more care which are all bought. This final move may seem insignificant at the moment but it carries with it adverse effects in the future for the family.
