How to start a new life?

You’d obviously have to do your research on the location you’re interested in. In fact, it’s best to have jobs lined up in that location before moving. You can do this by visiting the location for interviews or, if possible, requesting a telephone interview. You’d also have to find a residence.

If you prepare for the move in the correct way, you can move wherever you like, as long as it’s within your means financially.

None of us will be able to tell you if it’s a good idea or not, seeing as we know nothing about where you are, where you want to be, what you can afford, etc.

How old are you?

Well we were planing to live in oxnard and found some reasonable apartments but don’t want to move in without a job.
I’m actually 19 but we don’t live w our parents still.

@missyrodriguez How long have you been together? How long have you been living away from home? Do you two live alone? Do you have jobs?

Over a year but I’ve known him almost all high school. I’ve been away from home about two years already and him almost the same. We don’t live together yet and he has a job. I sell Avon.

You are correct about the difficulty but remember, you will have each other to lean on and help you through the rough times.

Pick the spot you want, go there, and make it work. The oldest formula for happiness known to man.

I guess I’m not a big risk-taker. I prefer to be more realistic than “just do it.” There’s a lot to consider, and there’s nothing wrong with preparing yourself.

Nature loves, and rewards courage.

I just can’t stand not living with him anymore, our families are to much to handle and we need the isolation

If you don’t live with each other, who do you live with? Do you support yourselves financially?

I did it once or twice. Be prepared to take any job you can get to start out, and live in minimal housing. We lived with no electricity or furniture in a studio apartment for several weeks before we found work and could pay the utility deposit.

Don’t be afraid to ask for public assistance, such as food stamps or welfare.

I advise you to research the area you are considering. Find out what the unemployment rate is in that area. Find out what kind of employers operate businesses in that region. From my knowledge, Agriculture is a fundamental in that area and sometime low housing prices go along with high unemployment and low wages and limited employment opportunities. Please do your research and avoid being impulsive. Be sure you know what you are prepared to live without. Blind idealism can lead to disillusionment. I’d like to see you start your new life where you have the best chances to succeed.

I would do it without hesitation. I have had some crumby jobs but always managed to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly. Actually it is a great adventure to move to a new place. And moving somewhere where no one knows you is a kind of freedom like you have never known before. When you get right down to it, what do you have to lose?

Find the location you want to live. Send out resumes with cover letters that refferance your relocation to that area on a specific date. Be persistent, follow up with the jobs, find out the right person to talk to, and talk to them. When any jobs show interest, tell them you already have interviews setup with other companies during the week of XX/XX/XX and ask if they’d would also like to schedule an interview with you while you are in town.

This is what I’ve done when relocating. The key is making them believe you “are” moving to the area, and not that you “want” to move to the area. You will be amazed how quickly one can fill a work week full of interviews.

Start with joy and happiness….......
