<prompt> Human: My girlfriend of 3 years just got a job offer in Phoenix, AZ through her company and would be getting a raise. I work as a waiter so changing jobs really isnt a hug deal for me, but I have never really been to Phoenix. Shed make about an extra 600 a month, but neither one of us really have any money saved up. Someone in her companies office is retiring so we would have to decide really very quickly like the move would be in probably less than a month. Earlier in the year there was talk of a job possibly opening up in Denver, which i was on board with given we would have some time to save up some money and I have family in Denver. But i dont know anything about Phoenix, Im nervous about leaving my family moms 60 and also works as a waitress; lives alone and i do worry about her quite a bit, and am all around just very apprehensive about what my next move should be. Can anyone give me any insight? sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, really not sure where i should go with this.  <response>: I live in Phoenix, and its awesome! Yeah, its a little hot now, but meh.I feel like this is a pretty personal decision. Personally, I would go just because I find the unknown is always better than the known. But I dont know your life details. I would suggest sitting down and making a list of the pros vs cons. Making a moving budget, looking at cost of living in St Louis vs Phoenix. Looking at what kind of housing will be available to you. Think about what potential problems will be, and how to fix them. Thing like that.
