How do I break the news to my parents?

I’m 23. And my parents understand that I can do what I want. And I know they want what’s best for me. But I still don’t know how to tell them.

My mom is more concerned cause it’s hard to make friends in new places. But with my fiancé being in the military we actually already have a good amount of people to talk to.
My mom is also concerned that what if we break up, but I just don’t see it happening. And honestly before I even met my man, I was already planing to move out of state where it’s cheaper.
My dad’s concerned because I’m currently on CA unemployment (which was going to end soon anyway. Plus I found jobs where I’m going that start even higher than I was getting paid before. Annnnd I’ll have my GED by the time I go to move.
Obviously finances are a major part of my parents concern. However collectively together my man and I have over 10k saved up. We’ve found good houses to rent where we’re moving.
My parents also said that they’ve been happy to have me be able to visit them more. But now with covid I can’t really do that. But they’d still be within a 6hour drive way.

I know it’ll be a headache with DMV paperwork. Unemployment paperwork. And switching banks. But other than that I’ve never felt more ready...just how do I break the news to them that I’m actually going?

What they want to hear from you is that you are in a position to make good choices for your immediate future.
That you're not worried because you have a plan and are acting on it.

There's way too much uncertainty around these days and what with separation due to Covid-19 and no sense of 'order' anywhere parents worry for their children no matter how old they are.

I just feel like it’d be rude not to tell them. Especially since for the longest time I was always the closest living relative to them. @SStarfish

I’ve always never been more than a 20min drive away. And my moms health isn’t the greatest. But they are able to function fine without a care taker and stuff. Just idk. It would feel weird to just get up and move to a different state without at least saying bye. @SStarfish
