im sure quite a few people pack up their things and move to CA to beome "famous" / acting work without knowing for sure what will come... if that counts.
i had a co-worker once and her husband move from CA to Nashville, in hopes of spawning a career in the music industry... with no guarantees of anything. they didn't even find a place to stay until they arrived :-/

Well oregon was so cheap I never got a job I only paid 100 for rent but I had to leave due to boredom. Cali I found a job when I got there. It would be nice to have the security of a job waiting for you though. Depending on where your moving to, it may be hard to find a gig

I plan on moving in 3 years, most likely to Texas. Here's how the plan is NOW, granted, it's subject to change.
This year I'll be working at my Data Entry Job for one year (from Feb 2008 to Feb 2009). By that time I'll be almost completely out of debt, if not out 100%. I plan on getting my CDL when I turn 21 next Feb (09). If all goes as planned I will drive doubles with a buddy of mine for Bell Trucking out of Shoemakersville, PA. During those two years, my mailing address will be my parents house, but I will most likely be on the road the whole time. This will allow me to save up all of my money, and not have to spend it on things like rent and utilities. My last run will be to Texas, and I will either have my vehicles transported down, or pick them up depending on what the last load will be. While driving, I'll be able to scout out potential areas of where I'd like to settle.
That's the jist of it, I'm sure you can find flaws in there somewhere, but I haven't planned it out 100% yet.

I'm lookin at San Antonio's and Corpus Christi's cost of living as compared to Pittsburgh. Houston is pretty much on par with here, but SA and CC are significantly lower.
