We are thinking about moving to the coast. Its me my husband and our 5 small children. He currently works for a juvenile prison for the state of Tennessee. We just really need a change. Found some great little towns close to the coast but want to hear from people that live there. How are jobs? He needs pay of at least $12hr. Hows rent? looking to pay $500-$875 a month. Anything else we need to know?

I'd suggest he apply for jobs first and then you can decide where you'll live. Jobs are very hard to come by.

I agree. You should have employment plus plenty of $$$ saved before relocating ANYWHERE in this economy.

True, but even in good times, it's difficult to just pack up and move somewhere. I never thought the economy was good enough to just move somewhere without a job lined up first.

Your rent budget might be low for a family of 7near the coast

Yeah we packed up and moved to Tennessee with jobs or anything lol. We have been applying through the state. We are going to def have a job first. We also have about $15000.00 I am willing to use out of our savings. As far as rent I have found some really nice places for our budgets.
