This is a little off the main question, but I'm a little concerned - what part of Virginia are you moving to?

If it's anywhere near the D.C. area - you might want to reconsider.

That part of the country is <b>way</b> more expensive than the Phoenix area. I certainly mean no offense , but if you're sweating two month's rent in Phoenix, that's nothing compared to the shock that may await you. Again - <i>if</i> you're moving to the D.C. area - you should be making at least twice your present income to afford the same lifestyle.

Phoenix is an inexpensive place to live, and you can't beat the weather.

Also - how are you moving? I mean, are you hiring a moving companyand the whole 9 yards, or are you throwing a TV and computer into the back seat of your car and driving away? I went the moving company route a few years ago and will never do it again - next time I'm renting a Ryder, and whatever doesn't fit, stays! If you have a lot of stuff, you might consider a storage room, and come back for it when your financial situation is better. Rental trucks are bargains if you're driving <i>away</i> from a popular destination (like Phoenix).

Whatever you do - I wish you the best of luck.
