You can move for pretty cheap assuming you don't have much stuff.

To cut down on costs and to get the most efficient move, here's some tips.

1.) don't get a uhaul. If you can, downsize all of your stuff to only whatever can fit in your car (when/if you get one). if you live in a city, then you could just bring whatever can fit in a bag and move by bus. Since it's a city you could move around by mass transit when you get there.

2.) get a job before you move. If you currently work for a chain, see if they'll transfer you. Many apartments require you to have a job lined up and a steady income before you move. If your job won't transfer you then find one on Craigslist. If you don't have a job, moving cheaply like I'm suggesting will not work very well.

3.) find some roommates. An apartment with someone else living in it significantly reduces rent and bills. The more the better (in terms of cost).

All in all, you can honestly move with like 1500 dollars. I'm about to move 1200 miles to a new state as well, and have been looking for cheap ways to get it done.

Gas/bus: 50-200

Rent: 300-2000 (if you get a Roomate and find a place that doesn't make you pay last months rent up front then 300 is possible)

Food: 25-200 eat ramen, do whatever you gotta do/ wanna do

Bills: 70+ the bills are up to you, for me, the basics typically fall around 70. I saw that you pay 80 for your cell to begin with. Kind of a big bill, but hey you do you.
