My boyfriend (26) and I (24) have both decided to make the scary decision to move away from our stable jobs here in Norfolk, VA and start over in Austin, TX. But not until May 2022! He’s navy, that’s when he will be able to get out. I’m an admin for my moms real estate team. We don’t make bank but we make good money, and it’s consistent so it’s scary to walk away. I think stability plays a big role in happiness, or at least for me it does. But we are still pretty unhappy here. Our unhappiness definitely stems from a lack of community, and not from a lack of trying these last few years. It just really doesn’t feel like Virginia is “our vibe” but Texas has felt so much like home the few times we’ve visited together. So as scary of a financial decision it is, especially with no savings (I just started BBP last Friday! ) I think it’s the right decision for us, and luckily we have time to prepare & save. We are supposed to sit down & break down two large savings goals tonight. One savings that will be a security deposit & 3 months of rent, and another that will be for packing up all our stuff we want to keep and getting it halfway across the country. Other than that- do you have any other advice on preparing for a big move? *edit: Austin, Texas is home for my significant other, it’s where we have a great group of friends. He misses home so much, and I miss our friends too. That’s why we are moving there despite it being on the expensive side. Not just because
