We have relocated many times: \n\nFirst of all..do you work for a company that can transfer  you to that area? What is the draw there? Family? Friends?\n\nI would take a vacation to the area to make sure you like it first. Research the weather and community to make sure they are amenities you would want. \n\nLook for housing to see how expensive it is...go grocery shopping...all the things you would do if you lived there. \n\nThen look for jobs and see if you are employable in that area. See what the median income range is and make sure that you would be able to afford the cost of living for that area! \n\nMake sure that any family you would be moving with you is on board with the idea! Do you need to look at school districts for your kids? Is your wife ok with the move? Will your partner need to leave their job to acoomodate this move? Will your mom stop talking to you? \n\nAFter you do your research...then..try to get a job first. \n\nAFter you have a job..you can always live in a motel for a month or so while you look for an apartment or house or you can look online especially if you did your research while you were there. \n\nmove your stuff, sell your home where ever you are now with a trusted agent...and enjoy your new life!!\n\nNow, if your company offers a transfer..that is different! The company may have a relocation service available to them and you will already have a job..but make sure that you can afford the cost of living on your salary!

Reconsider please!!!! I live in the Caribbean and right now there is a massive but quiet exodus of people. Cost of living is outrageous, jobs are easy to find but nobody wants to pay you what you're worth,and rents are three and four times what you'd pay for something similar wherever you are. If you still want to relocate, give it a few years to let the bottom fall out of the market and you'll be in a better position. CSME is coming on stream and it'll open things up a lot for  everyone.

Single living is going to be pretty tough in any city or state, because the bottom end of single person living is usually around 300 dollars whereever you go.  Now in bigger cities, that 300 dollars is obviously not going to get you as far in terms of "decency" as it would in a much smaller town, it just depends on what you define as "decent".  If you are going for the absolute value for the dollar, you probably want to go to a smaller town (but not small enough that it doesnt have apartments).  Also, I would really recommend living with ROOMATES.  On that income, it really helps to have everything split.  And I am afraid that on that income, having and maintaining a car, with car insurance just isnt possible (assuming you live by yourself, if you have enough roomates it may be possible)\n\nA good place to start looking at the comparative cost of living is at http://www.bestplaces.net/city/.  Under the cost of living section, it gives you a number which is calculated by taking the cost of living in that area, and dividing it by the average cost of living and multiplying it by 100.  This is the "cost of living index".\n\nAnyway, I hope that helped.

yes. suggest inet listings to start.\nhowever ! should you take a job out of state and get laid off fired etc before the time limits of that state you will not collect from home state or job state. So save every dollar as emergency fund. Do your homework before you move - you will need lots of start up money not creditcards. Moving is expensive.\nBest deal is job or three in your area first.

Think of relocating  as here in Canada there are more oppertunities than ever and if 'it's' possible to start 'your' own organization all the better...just need some investers....and that is the key...investers and a REAL PLAN......Since 'you' are at home have 'your' parents and such INVEST' in 'YOU'.....( after all that is where TRUST and such START....)...

Make up your mind to relocate to a better paying state.  Take Wisconsin, for instance.  If you know how to "finish the job", you'll get quite a handsome tip!

I would recommend staying with your parents and going to community college. Here is my reason.\nIf you move out, it isn't just rent that you have to worry about. You have to worry about utilities, food and all the responsibilities that come along with it. You will need to pretty much have a full time job, which makes little time for going to school. With the cities  you named, you are going to need to get some roommates, or two jobs to rent a place there, or on your own far out in the suburbs and commute in.\nIf you stay at home, your parents are paying for it. Work on the general education classes that all schools need you to have at the community college because it is cheaper (or should be) than the university. \n\nI didn't go to college after high school, and I regret it. I moved out on my own, and I am still working my way to finishing my degree, and it is very very difficult. I am having to hold down 32 hours of work to make enough money and hold onto my health insurance (VERY imortant) and trying to also do full-time load of classes (12+ credits). I am 26 and probably won't get my degree until I am 29, 11 years after graduating high school.

Depends on where you live and how much money you have.

I'd move.  A peaceful life is worth a lot.

Can you afford the move? If you can, I would go for it. If not, I would try to work myself up to it so I can make the move one day.

If your family is financially stable, I would sell anything that you don't need, use or whatever needs to be replaces.  Key word - sell, don't give it away.  If you are moving because your parents got a new job, have the new company pay to PACK and MOVE your stuff.  Do some research online about shipping cars and large furniture pieces. It may not be as expensive as you think.
