Hello, first off I greatly appreciate any and all advice that you can provide. My girlfriend and I, both to be 18 in February will be moving after the summer. My girlfriend is pregnant right now with our first kid, and I am trying to find a good city that we can move to, that will have good rent rates for us. Of course we won't be making loads of money, because of our age and baby. I know we need something and that there must be a place out there.

Please offer any knowledge that you have.

Thank you

To offer advice on where to go would be hard to do, but for me there are 3 major things I look at 1) cost of living 2) crime index 3) employment rate.

As a mom too I would also say to try to live near family or friends that are able to help you out. You still can maintain your independence but there are times, especially with a new baby, that you do need people. Those times when you've been up all night with a child having an ear infection and you need someone to come over so you can get some rest, times when you have the flu and can't get out of bed and you just have to have some 7up, or your car breaks down and your child is waiting to be picked up at pre-school where they charge for every minute you are late, etc.

I could go on and on about the times that I don't know what I would have done without the help of my family/friends. So if I had the choice I would stay close until my baby was a older.

I wish you and your family the best!
