Relocation Tip of the Month – March 2023

Are you about to move to another city in the near future? Well, before you start packing, it is time to get really serious about your reason for making a move. In many cases, you may be moving because the company you work for is moving here. In that case, there is not a lot of thought you have to put into this move. After all, if you don’t move, you won’t have a job. So, that’s probably your motivation for moving.

On the flip side, if you are moving for your own reasons, it is a good idea to really think hard about why you are making the move. Ask yourself the hard questions because it is the answers to these questions that will keep you in the city you move to when times get tough. Are you just moving on a whim, or do you fundamentally want to etch out a new life for yourself in the new city? Here are some other things to consider when you are planning to move across the country.

The new city allegedly has a better job market.
The type of people you like to be around are in the new place.
There are plenty of things to do.
You want a place that’s less hectic than the city life you currently live in.
You’re tired of running into folks you know from high school.
The housing is cheaper elsewhere.
You fell in love with someone and want to grow a family in their town.
The weather is more to your liking in the new place.
You just need a new setting.

All of these are a reason to move across the country, but is it a good enough reason or reasons for you to move. This is what you have to ask yourself before you uproot yourself and move somewhere entirely different. If you don’t take the time to really do some soul-searching and determine your motivation, you may become despondent after moving. And if moving back isn’t an easy process, you will need to think of some really good reasons to move before you trap yourself in a new city you don’t like.
