So I made a post asking about Broomfield, Co earlier as there may be a job opportunity there. I have never moved to another house or apartment even in my own state before, let alone a completely different one.
I've never been very far outside of PA, maybe WV is the furthest I've ever been and that was when I was a kid on vacation. I'd also be on my own with no family. I may have some co-workers that I currently work with moving to the same area as well, so there may be a few familiar people there.
What advice could you guys give to someone who may need to move for a job, especially if you've never been to the city/state before. I'm just looking for general advice and info.
How do you find out if you'll be able to live comfortably in a new place (as in affording to live there)? Will I be living paycheck to paycheck on my salary or will I have money to spare and be able to enjoy life?
How do you find an apartment/house without being there?
What kinds of things do you need to get changed? Obviously address changes for mail, etc and driver's license, but anything else?
