text: It's better to make money before you move than to move without money, so I'd recommend taking two jobs for the rest of the time you're in Orlando. Not only will your bank account grow, but you'll spend a lot of time away from the home, which leaves you less time to fight with your ex. Also look at what you are planning to bring on the move with you; household items like dishes and furniture can often be more expensive to move than to replace when you are settled in.  Sell everything you don't absolutely need to bring with you; you may not become rich off of a yard sale but you'll have some more cash and less stuff which makes for easier travel.\n\nIf your goal is to simply be closer to your daughter rather than live with her in NJ, look into Delaware, especially the Wilmington area, for a place to live. Wilmington is experiencing a great phase of growth right now so you may earn more there than you expect, and the cost of living is still fairly reasonable.  It's just about an hour or so on the Amtrak from Wilmington to NYC so it's pretty close to NJ.
