Denton, Fort Worth and the surrounding area like Colleyville, North Richland Hills, Lake Worth, etc. If your looking for a smaller town try Weatherford, Stephenville, Crowley, Cleburne or Burleson. Good luck and \nWELCOME TO TEXAS!!

Move.  Florida is nowhere to be if you have no money and unemployed.  St louis is a cool town.  4 weeks is a small margin for error in this economy.

It makes sense to at least research the possibility of relocating to higher ground.  Like the middle of the continent!  I can definitely see the advantage, if you do get any kind of settlement on the value of your home and its contents.  But do think about where you want to go.\n\nWhat sort of job would you be looking for?  Are there things you could research on line about the job market in various locations that look good to you?  What are the major economic indicators -- cost of living, density of population, major industries -- that matter most to you?  And what are the quality of life aspects that matter most to you?\n\nFor example, I live in Santa Cruz County, California.  It is a lovely county, and you might be very tempted.  But do, please, have a look at everything you can about it before you are lured here (or any other example).  Because while it is undeniably one of the nicest places in the world to live, it is equally undeniable that it is one of the most expensive, as well.  Yes, Hawaii is even more expensive; but in the 48 contiguous states, central California is about as close to heaven as you can get; and I'm high up in the Santa Cruz Mountains, closer yet to heaven.  And the people around me who drive those lovely new BMWs and Porsches start out driving over the hill to Silicon Valley long about 4:00 a.m.\n\nNice, but you hardly ever get to see the place in daylight when you're working over the hill.  And that's where the money is.  Silicon Valley.  We have a little mini-Silicon Valley on this side of the hill, though.  It's called Scotts Valley.  If you are interested in high tech, look up what you can about that up-and-at-em little high tech haven in the Santa Cruz Mountains.\n\nSee, it all depends on what's important to you.  And that's why we have an Internet where we can research before we leap!  Indeed, you can also go a long way in job search before you leap.

Northampton MA is one.   Austin TX is another (at least by Texas standards)

We used to live in California, and the situation you describe is precisely why we left.\n\nWe were both professionals making good money, but we couldn't afford a home and couldn't afford much else.  We moved to Texas and have been happy ever since...

a previous writer was right - cheap and in expensive are oxymoron's- you need to add more info- where will you be working? will you be driving < using public transportation ?will you need to get to a mosque, synagogue, or a church on regular basis  ? things to consider. \nBrooklyn like all  New York boroughs is a collection of small-for new york-ethnic towns with all the positives and negatives that brings. Me I' d live in Bay Ridge

Before you go moving to Massachusetts or Florida, check out the costs of living there. Consider a visit before you plop money down on an apartment lease and find yourself unhappy ... or more unhappy. Do you have a degree? Check with your school's placement office for job leads. Don't even consider moving out of state right now if you will be eligible for unemployment compensation if and when your job ends. Take the money and get a life plan rolling. Might I suggest a counselor? If you have benefits with your present employer, you may be able to get a counselor under your health insurance plan. Don't wait!!! It may be a $20 co-pay but go for it. It will be worth the money to discuss the many changes you have in mind. Job loss is stressful but then when you add financial stress and wanting to relocate and everything else, you should find someone to talk to. Once you face the fears you will be better able to overcome them. YOU are the most important person in the mix. Things always have a way of working out but you get out of life what you put into it so give it your ALL.

I have been in Pennsylvania before and I am a New Yorker and to me it was a big change.  Everything is driving distance and the time I went their the weather in New York was nice and when I was in PA it was COLD!!! The major thing that PA has is a Wal-Mart. The best thing you could say is that you want to go to a college in NY OR NJ. No offense to anyone in PA but I am a New Yorker.

Heres the deal: I've lived in Nashville, and visited Louisville. I'm currently living in SW Missouri (right near NW Arkansas!! \n\n--Nashville and about a one hour radius is VERY expensive to live!! Lots of fun cool stuff to do, and plenty of jobs, but can you afford to live?? Only if you find a really well-paying job. \n\n--Louisville has a lot of fun things to do, and a nice tourism business, less of a "Southern" atmosphere, but that's all I can say, because I've never lived there, or tried to find work there. \n\n--NW Arkansas: NOT MUCH TO DO!! VERY AFFORDABLE HOUSING!! You have to weigh out the options!! I just moved here. (SW missouri) and the landscape is ugly, and you have to go to Springfield MO or Branson MO, or Eureka Springs AR (VERY cool town) in order to find some fun stuff to do, but IF you are OK with that, there are jobs to be had, and VERY cheap cost of living. The PEOPLE here are also VERY NICE!! I just got a 2100 sq. Ft. Hous with 4 br and 3 bath, for UNDER 80k!!! So you gotta look at the pros and cons. Also, in this area, there's not too much diversity, we NEED some Black people to move in!! I miss my peeps.....

Washington, DC\nIt's alright here, though I don't get out much.\nMoving back to Austin, TX, would be nice though.

If you want a nice place in the piney woods then you should head to Walden Texas. i go there every summer to play golf there. It is so much fun. They even have the hardest hole in Texas if you want a challenge. The hole playes into a lake with a dog leg right with water on both sides of the green. It is also home of lake conroe. There is fishing and fireworks there too if u can hang for the New Year. Plus you can rent boats. By the way did i say that it was very cheap. Around 500 for a family of 3. later

Austin is great.It is small, beautiful and trendy. Houston has lots of opportunity. It is huge, ugly and cheap to live in, but has lots to do and lots of jobs. (before anyone trashes my post- I am a native Houstonian and choose to live there in spite of the down side, for now.) Santa Fe NM, and Albuquerque NM can be good.  It really depends on what kinds of job one seeks and the skills one has to offer.  The bureau of labor statistics site offers a great deal of information.
