People that have moved out of state should answer this question only unless you know someone that has moved out of state or have a really good answer.

Answer 1

Wow, great answers so far huh?

She's most likely (if she's getting an apartment) gong to put down a deposit (usually one month's rent) and rent money for the first month. Apartments range around $900 to $3000 per month for a 2 bedroom (apparently some people think that's inexpensive - see answers above, the cost of living is not cheap unless you're comparing it to New York or LA). If she doesn't have a job then she either needs about 3 months rent ($3000+) + bill money (3 months $1500+) + daily living expenses to bring with her just in case or a little less money (not much less) if she gets a part time job while she's loking. So, in all honesty, I'd say for her to move here she should have at least $6000+ to be comfortable, however, she could come with a little less. Good luck to her!

Answer 2

Your friend will need at least an additional $5000 for the Psychiatrist. Because after a month of living there, she will need her head examined.

Answer 3

housing is so cheap, some things are a little more expensive you gota shop around, I relocated form maryland the most expensive was my moving truck

Answer 4

$3,000.00 or more. More, for a safety net. $8, 000.00 is what it costs to move, move-in, look for work, eat, emergencies. Ten grand is what I'd need...or more!!!!

Answer 5

the cost of living is cheap there; she should be able to survive for a little while

Answer 6

STAY WHERE YOU ARE ATLANTA IS ALREADY TOO CROWDED, AND THERE ARE NO JOBS. THE AUTO PLANTS ARE CLOSING AND THE AIRLINES ARE SHUTTING DOWN.
