RW> Sure you can.  Of course it would cost you, I have never found

Ok, so that would be only @ $2400. That's expensive already, but let's go on:
RW> Huh?  A car, free boxes from almost any store in town and a $19.95 a 
RW> day U-Haul trailer and you're on your way.  Been there, done that, 
Ok, we'll start with the car, which I do have, but it wouldn't make it 
anywhere
to re-locate, it would definitely break down. And it wouldn't tow a U-Haul 
anyway. So, renting a U-Haul to go about 100 miles costs roughly $80. So, 
moving to where that other guy was talking about (each 400-500 miles away at 
least) would be several hundred dollars. 
And then you have the expense of moving into a new apartment, after FINDING 
one
in a different city (how do you do that?), which is first & last month's 
rent, 
plus deposit, which is about $1200, being conservative. 
Plus all the incidental expenses: going without a paycheck for a week or two, 
moving supplies, a bunch of new cleaning supplies, etc. etc. We'll just leave 
this blank, but remember to figure it in a little.

Well, according to my calculations above, it would be roughly $4000 for me to 
move to another city right now, and remember to figure in the incidentals, 
which have often been kind of high for me (one time my car broke down, even 
after i had paid $100 for a check up and various other things, while I was 
moving... that's something that really messes you up). Needless to say, I 
would
be *lucky* to scrape together even 1/4 of that in about a month's time. 
Really,
really lucky. And I make $10 an hour!
