Make sure that you notify the U.S.Post office where to have your mail forwarded to you. The USPS have a simple form to fill out. At least the bills will be paid on time. And good luck....San Fran is a great town.

Yes, move to a new Location.  I made that decision and it was the best thing I've ever done.  Sometimes if you live in the same state for a long time you won't experience how it feels like somewhere else.  You'll meet new people, a different work atmosphere and a sense of contentment that you made a difference in your life.  Be confident in yourself and go for it!

You'll probably need to change your entire surroundings.  The big three, you know?  Work, Girlfriend/Boyfriend, and Living Situation.  That way you can focus on adopting a new situation.

If you have to move to stay safe, then get yourself going. Don't worry about the new school you'll be attending. It only takes a couple of weeks to get used to anything new, and I'm sure you'll make a couple of friends by then. I had to move a lot when I was young and I really hated it. Just when I got used to things, my parents would tell me to pack my stuff and we'd move again...six months here, a year there. I went to 5 different schools. But, I do have to say that the last move I made was for the best. We lived on the south side of Chicago and things were getting really bad. I'm so very glad we moved, moving over 200 miles north. It made me relax quite a bit, and I even did better in school, not having to worry about anyone hassling me after school. So, don't worry, little one, things will work out. Especially since it seems your family wants a better life than what they have in your current neighborhood. These things have a way of turning out much better than you could ever imagine. <*)))><

well this all sounds very sad, but the truth is you should get out in your new location.  Don't bore yourself to death.  Go out there and have some fun: like at the bars or clubs, just about anywhere. Just have fun!

There is really no way of answering this without more information.\n\nWhy don't both of you (separately) write a list of things you want in a city.  Consider aspects like size, climate, culture, sports and recreation, distance from friends and family, higher education, crime level, etc. and then compare your lists.  From these you can narrow your choices down.\n\nActually, I admire what you are doing.  It will be an adventure as well as a new beginning.  How exciting for you both!

I went abroad to work so I can get a change of scenery.  Remember, living and visiting are two very different things.  A place could be great to visit but hell to live in.  The best thing to do is identify where you want to move to, and then match up what is available there with what you can do.  One suggestion, life is a whole lot easier if you know someone already living in the country you want to work in.

My answer:  It depends.\n\nAre you moving for a job?  Boyfriend?  the beach?\nDo you have a savings account or are you financing the move with a credit card?\n\nThings to ask yourself before you move:\nHow long do you intend to stay there?\nAre you financially able to support yourself once you get there, for the time period above?\nDo you have friends and/or family there?  If not, why are you moving again?\n\nBad reasons to move:\nBoredom.\nMad at someone. (ex-boyfriend, family member, etc.)\n\nThis isn't a traditional "answer", but it does give you some basic factors to consider before you relocate.\n\nBest of luck to you.

move to brooklyn then. Anything in the city will be a fortune and very small. Apartments are very hard to find in the city. it's not like on TV. Lear the train systems cause owning a car in the city is extremely expensive car port rents are almost as much as an apartment. Good luck.

find out where they moved. Form a family. Be part of them as much as possible to make up for lost time.

The hardest part is making up your mind to do it.  Once you really have, the rest is fairly simple.  Decide if you want to lose yourself in a big city, or if you want to be part of a community in a small town.  Jobs might be scarcer in a small town, but odds are you might like the job itself a little better because of interacting with neighbors and friends.\n\nIf you have a lot of possessions you need to take, then the planning can get more detailed.  In that case, take your time, do some research, rent a truck if you need it, take care of things where you are, and go.  It helps to have a plan and a place to stay when you get there.\n\nBut it sounds to me like you might be looking to get away from something or someone, and I don't know if you have to do this in a hurry or on the sly.\n\nI have done it both ways.  I've done the carefully planned out move, and I've done the grab what money I can and run move.  They both work out, one can just be a little tougher than the other.\n\nHaving a job in the new place first always helps, but depending on your skills or experience, some jobs are just easier to get if you're already in the new town.  Temp jobs while you look for the right position could tide you over.\n\nThere are cheap motels that rent by the week, and while they're not always the best places to live, it gives you a roof and a base to work from while you find a job and a home.\n\nBut keep your chin up - this could be one of the most positive experiences of your life, if you just look at it that way.  A little time to be self-sufficient, empower yourself, maybe even get to know yourself better.\n\nGood luck to you.
