In the next few years, I wish to move out of the country, preferably to the Czech Republic or Germany. What steps need to be taken in order to make the transition?

It is not just a case of packing up, getting a passport, moving and applying for citizenship as some of the answers above have suggested.
Your first step before doing anything should be to research the visas required to move there and to see what you need to do to be eligible to apply for one.
Once that is done, start saving up as you will need all the money you can, even more so with the declining value of the dollar.
The following websites will get you started:

If you can prove you have a grandparent born in any country that's now in the European Union (this is NOT the same as Europe, so make absolutely sure of this), then you might be able to get citizenship of this country, which would make it much easier to get a residency permit in any EU country, and as an EU national you are automatically entitled to work on a residency permit. However, these things all take time ....
Learn the language of the country you wish to move to. German and Czech are both difficult, but not impossible. There are many schools in Germany for foreigners learning German. Don't know about Czech, but from what I've seen the Czechs are extremely enterprising and will have spotted such a gap in the market by now.

Apply for Citizenship probably at their Embassy or the Consulate-General (which are easier to find). Is what I would guess you would go along with all your documents for you United States citizenship. You might be able to get dual citizenship. That is where I am assuming you would fill out most of the necessary paperwork for the change.

Get a passport. Apply for citizenship in the country of choice,
if you can find a job, and like living there. (It might be wise to
write the embassy of the country of your choice and get exact details on how to get a work permit, and what it takes to become a citizen there.))

Get a passport.
Apply for a visa, and get a job where you want to live - in some cases you need to have the job waiting for you to get the visa.
Once those are sorted, sell everything you have, and move.

Well first I would learn the German Language or Czech.
Then I would go and visit them for like 6 months.
After you have done that, post another question on Yahoo.
