I've lived in California my whole life and im just ready for a move, i'm sick of it here, its just to expensive for us. My work has laid us all of and 2/28/2007 is our last day. There moving to Hillsboro, Oregon and offered us jobs if we're willing to relocate, at no cost to them thu so we'll have to pay for our move. I've looked at apartments, houses and townhouses and its so nice and cheap up there. For a 3 bedroom nice new townhouse it was only $1100. Thats how much I pay now for a small 1 bedroom apartment. Would u take the move. I'm so nervous. I wanna do it but just not alone. I live with my BF of 5 years and he's willing to do it. But he would rather 1 of us {me} go up there and try it out 1st, then he'll come up. He would move back into his parents house for a few months not pay rent and send me money. I just dont know. I wanna do it but i'm so scared. How can i push myself to do it.

It was my idea to have my BF stay down here. Were both in our late 20's but i suggested he stay just incase something were to happen as in get fired or quit or anything. Then he could stay down here and send me money for a few months then come up in 3-6 months.
Believe me i'm sooo not the type to act on impulse i always have to have a plan b...and he's it by staying down here until i get on my feet.

Don't just look at apartment prices, look at the cost of living prices too (gas, food, electric, etc.). Will you be making the same amount of money, or will they lower it to mesh with the lower cost of living? I'm just about to move to dallas to live with my boyfriend, and leaving all my family and friends behind. Everyone needs to get a little distance now and again. I know I will never live in the same state as my family again as there are only a couple places in America my bf can work, so that makes me kind of sad, but I know it will be a better life. If you move for your job, make sure it's a job you enjoy, one you want to keep. Good luck, and remember that you can find friends anywhere, and your family will always love you. Just be happy!

You should do it. It's not often in life that people get the opportunity to start anew. This could be an adventure for you. If you give it a shot and find out you don't like it you can move back to California. I think you'll regret it if you don't at least give it a try. Good luck, I hope that everything works out for you and that you're happy with your decision no matter what it is!

You know what I have done that and as hard as it was it was the best thing for me to do. Do you like oregeon have you ever been there is it somewhere you would like to try to live and have a life? Ask yourself these questions. I moved out of ca not really knowing anyone and moved to az. I love it though. You only live life once. This may be an excellent experience for you. If you have to you move back then.

I've moved several times because of my husband's work. It was always an adventure and a pleasant experience. It would be worth it to try. This summer I moved from Wisconsin leaving everything behind to start a new life. So far it's working out great.

I have moved 8 times in 5yrs. Its hard and expensive at first, but as soon as you settle in and deposits are al paid, the expensive part is over. Then the fun starts, you get to meet new people, see new places, its realy fun if you let yourslelf get into it. Make your self meet new people, join groups, and churches are get to get involved in. At your new job you will meet at ton of people.

I say go for it. If it doesn't work out, you can always move back. Plus a move can be a great way to meet new people and make new friends. And if your boyfriend's there with you, you won't even be that lonely.

If I had a chance and a good deal, you bet I would.
They would do it and not think twice about you.
If you don't you will always wonder "What If?"
So I say go for it and good luck. You can always go back and visit.
Live your life for yourself.

I (we) did it and we are so glad we did, it's a good experience. I don't know how to tell you to do it, that's something everyone has to do for themselves, but it was the best thing I (we) could have done.
GOOD LUCK
