re: Realistically, how hard is it to move to a new state?

I've done it several times and we are considering it again.

The times I did it, I was single with no kids. Only moved for a job once. Other times, I got a job when I got there.

Now, we have a 6 year old. We're trying to move around her school schedule so planning the move for next summer. Also, jobs are a little more difficult to come by right now. So, we'll need a much larger bank balance.
