<prompt> Human: Any tips on what is ideal in relocating? Can it be done without a big chunk of money in the bank? Is it costly, etc?Im asking because, of course, I am interested to know the ins and outs of moving to another state. My husband and I live here in the DC metro area but he is employed as an assistant manager at a short-order chain restaurant and despite my 2 bachelors degrees, I cant seem to get a job that makes me above 45k. He seems content in his job, where hes only paid 35kyr which kills me... it kills me. We are trying to save up for a house but with rent being one of my two monthly paychecks, its really hard to do that. I dont want to be stuck in a 2 bedroom condo the rest of my life, especially not with two kids.Now, would it be plausible for us to move to another city? I know we could get employment in restaurants though not ideal for me, and I may be able to swing getting a job in the same industry Im in now legal, but I get worried when I see top pay is 10 less than what I make an hour as it is now. Rent may change but car payments wont, neither will my student loans, neither will my health insurance premiums... so how would it be more affordable to live in another city? Probably wouldnt.  <response>: If you are determined enough and willing to sacrifice enough, it can be done on a shoestring budget, especially if you pick the right location. This is not for everyone, but heres what I did when I moved from a small town in the Midwest to the East Coast about 11 years ago with about 400 in my bank account:1. Flew out to the new city, stayed in a hostel, and pounded the pavement with resumes until I got a job.2. Found roommates on Craigslist, signed a lease for a shoebox sized room where I slept on an air mattress until I could afford a bed.3. Sold everything I owned: car, furniture, etc. to fund the trip.4. Bought a one way plane ticket, moved with what I could carry.Its definitely possible to do with a couple thousand bucks, some really detailed planning, and the willingness to take a big risk.
