I thought to share this with all of you. One of the biggest problems I have constantly faced is deciding which area to live since I have moved many times in my post college days until now. Obviously, there are guiding factors such as place of employment, family, friends, preference (city life vs suburbian) etc. What if there was an app that interactively asks us these questions and suggest some zipcodes/places to live ?

I for example want to know that if I work in NYC and my spouse works in the suburbs of NJ (actually true in my case), where should we buy a house? Logically, should be somewhere in the middle of the 2. but where, why, how ? May be we are not as interested in good school districts at this time? May be I want to live at a walking distance from a major train/bus station ? Possibilities are endless here.

So I am almost 31, worked for almost a decade in the corporate world, got good technical background and always had the itch to go on my own.

I have been really struggling lately with many of my half baked business ideas that I never seem to be able to lock down. So far, the good things that I have been able to do it teach myself enough python, the flask framework to build simple apps, understand what tech. stacks are used in 2012, read and contribute plenty on HN.SO I know where to start if I have an idea locked down.

The bad things: not able to lock down on any of my half baked ideas. I got plenty but just cannot make up my mind.

Is this because I am still employed (self employed consultant btw), get paid well and just lazy enough to not get to the next step ? I can tell you that I am not scared taking the plunge (done that plenty of times in my life already at times when things were in comfort zone). Then why is it so hard? What if I quit 100% and then focus on an idea even if half baked ? Would you recommend this ?

EDIT: I have a wife and she has a decent job. No kids yet but planning one soon (next year or so). We can live off her income if we live within our means which we are doing already. I have more than 18 months of savings based on our current cost of living.
