Relocating without a job offer?

Hi all,

I've beet in my current role for 1 yr 4 months, and it's my first job out of college.

For a number of reasons, it's not ideal, but I like the people I work with, and I've really enjoyed my time there.

Now for the tricky part: my lease for my current apartment is up Jan. 26, and I want to move back to my hometown to be closer to friends and family. I have plenty saved and could live for free/cheap in my hometown until I get on my feet. I'm moving to a much larger city, which should have good job prospects.

By all advice, I've heard to never put in notice at your current job unless you have a job offer lined up. I do still have a month before I would leave this job, and I plan to apply and hopefully interview for a new position during this time.

Is it a mistake to put in my notice at my decent current job to relocate without another offer lined up?

I would very much appreciate people's advice/experiences on this. Thanks!
