What should I consider before moving with my boyfriend to another state?

Question

I would be leaving where I grew up and my job. I would need to rely on him financially at first even though we would not live together when we move. He has friends in the area but I would not. He is much younger than me. I have only known him for about a year. My brother and mother are in the hospital now. I barely have any money saved up. Would really like some advice

1) Your family. Do you have a close family that you rely on for support - emotionally, financially, etc?
2) You friends. Do you have close friends that you rely on for support?
3) Will you be able to be independent when living with your boyfriend? 
4) Do you have anyone reason you need to stay there - helping a relative, being someones support, etc?

These are some solid questions to review before making a decision. I personally could never move away from my family.

THAT´S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT A LOT.
Moving out with someone implies lots of things you know.
I think that it is super important to really know that person 
Imagine that you suddenly had a huge fight and end up breaking up, what would you do? He would be alright because he has money to live and friends near the area, but do you?
If I were you I would not, it seems not so promising to move out with him, seems like you are the one loosing.. because you will be moving far from your friends and family and besides you have no money so you would be totally relying on the dude.
Marry him if you want to move out with him, because at least that way if anything goes wrong, he will have the obligation to support you $$.

You should consider staying right where you are. Seriously, don't surrender everything for this guy.
