r/relocating

I want to share my experience about this relocation. To be perfectly honest, it could be a wonderful place to live but the town is gate-kept by the locals. Many people will welcome you for about 6 months and after that, you’ll likely have difficulty renewing your lease. Be very skeptic about moving here permanently because most of the people who are not rich will work several jobs and often camp because they struggle to find reliable housing. Finding meaningful work is absolutely impossible. Nepotism is extremely typical here. The “housing lottery” takes 7 years to qualify for. “Making it here” is a thing, and not an easy one.

This relocation stripped me of absolutely everything and left me in a far worse place than when I got there.

. Cleveland OH

. Hampton VA 

. Corpus Christi TX 

. El Paso TX 

. Roanoke VA (but it really depends on what neighborhood you live in) 

Also, Gulfport and Long Beach Mississippi might also be on this list, but I’m not sure, housing prices are super cheap, but I’ve heard that things that’s not houses is actually expensive.BTW This is based on reasonableness , and not actually low cost of living. Some very affordable cities didn’t make it on this list because they don’t have much to offer so make a lot of sense to be cheap and aren’t really that much of a great deal because they don’t have much to offer.

Looking to move from New York further north. My husband grew up in Massachusetts but open to anyplace in New England. No kids so don’t care about the public schools. Would prefer a walkable area. Unfazed by cold or snow.

Any advice on moving long distance from Austin, TX to San Diego, CA? I need to bring my car and cat and dog and am a single income household. I was thinking of driving from tx to ca in my car with as much as possible but will definitely have some things that won’t fit in my car I would hope to bring out there. Any advice is appreciated!!

Hello all! I (F32) went through the worst time of my life these past three years (long-term break up, unexpected unemployment, barely making ends meet, etc.,). It was one hit after another. Went through the worst depression and anxiety-inducing time of my life.

With this being said, I’m about to sell my house and will have money (finally!) left over. I have always lived in my hometown (small Texas city) but lately, I feel as though life is pulling me elsewhere… the problem is I don’t know where.

I decided to say fuck it and jut move once I close. I want recommendations from people or “what would you do” type of advice. I’m definitely putting a huge chunk in a HYSA, paying off a bit of debt and want to put 10-15k as cushion/use money.

I used to teach English for 7 years but don’t want to continue doing this in America. I was torn, however, between teaching abroad, see what that’s like and travel though I won’t be making much. I was also toying with the idea of getting into law school. I’m not sure if this is 100% what I want or if it’s “me.” (Truthfully, I don’t know who I am anymore.)

Other options were:
- San Diego for the beach, bike culture and the fact that it’s a border town, so it’ll be like being at home. (But expensive as hell)

- Portland, Oregon for nature, bike culture, and hippie vibe. (Never been and the cold scares me, but maybe it won’t be so bad?)

- New York City for walkable streets, bike, and constant events (but also expensive as shit).

Lastly, Spain. I’ve been there a few times and absolutely love the country (I’m also a native Spanish speaker) but no family, new country, and maybe expensive?

Please help! I feel as though my new chapter in life is around the corner, but I have no idea as to how to begin it.

Hello all.

James, 19, trapped in Carriere, Mississippi of all places through events outside of my control. Trying to take said control back and move somewhere that isn’t in the fucking no IQ racism Bible Belt area, preferrably a big city (NYC, San Fran, Miami, Atlanta, etc).

Have software development skills but unfortunately the industry is trashed right now. Dropped out of college for business admin to start my own business (and because it put me in a mountain of debt) so have those skills too. Living with friends parents because my guardian decided her new husband was more important and have about 100 bucks to my name.

Any help or advice is appreciated. Have a good day!
