Are you stuck in a small town with only elderly people and really need to get away? Do you work for minimum wage in a big city and live in a roach infested dump? It doesn't matter what your reasons are, sometimes things just need to change a bit. So what do you do when you absolutely need to move but have a budget of one can of old tuna? The first thing you need to do is to take action, the rest you can fix as you move along. Read these tips to get the ball rolling.

1. Make your choice and stick with it. You can ponder if its the right thing to do while wasting away in your dead end job or actually do something. You can always move back if it doesn't work out.

2. Start today and not tomorrow. Procrastination and laziness are your two greatest enemies. Almost everything you think you need to wait for will happen in the new place as well. If it is a person, they can join you later.

3. Set up a checklist of things that needs to be done. Find out what kind of budget you need and if that is realistic. If not, what do you need to do to make it happen? Work more? Get a roommate? Check available jobs. Look for transport options. Sort through your stuff to separate the essentials from the unimportant.

4. Set up a deadline today. Set up a reasonable date for when you will move and work towards that date. Tell your boss that you are quitting next month. Start giving away your unwanted junk to friends and family. A deadline is easier to aim for than a unspecified imaginary date.

5. Use your network of friends. And friend of friends too for that matter. People are usually surprisingly helpful. And since you probably know one of those guys that always brags about his good friend that lives on Manhattan Island, maybe he could help out or shut up? See what people can do for you, but do not expect if for nothing. Offer to help out, clean and cook if yo crash at someones place. Try to not bee too much of a leech.
