$3,000. I also have a credit card with 0% APR so I can put any expenses other than rent on that until I have a steady place to live.

This is not a lot of money. I am moving one state over and I have saved $7000, already paid the moving company the 2+K to move my stuff and my wife is already working where we are moving. Additionally, my wife has a labor board settlement of about $5K coming in about two months.

Rethink your choices OP, seriously.

EDIT: Also wtf Louisiana. Really?

Don't move to a poor part of the country unless you have:

1. A job, a good one that pays, in a field you can take with you elsewhere whenever needed
2. Buy a house for cash level savings

Otherwise you're trapped forever

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
my wife and i got burnt out on the south and decided to start over in denver, we sold everything we owned, bought a motorhome off craigslist, renovated it, and live in that outside of denver.

we spent about 4,000 on the RV, another 3-4 thousand to put in flooring and wifi and modern TVs and power supplies, and a couple more for the gas and incidentals fund.

totally doable with ~10k

He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man.
Arizona seemed fun - I could look at canned granyons and meet retard new age pothead pawgs all over the place and sell guns like it was nbd. but like most things that seemed too dope to be real, I found myself with a meth tweaking dogfood slangin lazy eyed roommate who made my cool gun selling operation a nightmare. once he killed two cats and pointed a gun a me for the fourth time demanding to know why he heard crinkly tin foil in my room, I knew it was time to mosey on out of dodges.

I sold my last gun, a lil titan 25 that fit in my jeans coin pocket (hated to lose that cute lil ginnygat but bringing it along with a box of hollow points with me seemed like a bad idea) and sold my cool conversion van and bought a ford Taurus that I knew would make the journey. i loaded it up wih ponchos and wide brimmed hats and bathrobes and large paintings of small cats and deities and some shorts, 6 dollar tees, Birkenstocks, and a pug named yoda. I smoked a large quantity of meth, stopped off at the res and bought some cheap cartons of smokes from the natives, and floored it all the way to NYC. It had been less than 48 hours between thinking "hmm maybe I'll move away" and actually doing it

I crashed on a couch in a miserable apartment filled friends of mine who drink beer all the time and don't believe in magick. They fed my dog beers instead of food and smoked all my Indian cigs and ate my gabagool. Yoda the pug pooed all over everything from the gross beers and the smell of burning pot/coke spliffs.

I found a nice job managing a health food restaurant where I ate veggie burgers and fake bacon (facon? just thought of that now, wish I'd thought of it then :( would have made a good menu word) and soon I left the den of cocaine abuse and beerdog diets and sold the Taurus to add to my lil mason jar bank stockpile of cash money and made a nice home for myself in a beachside bungalow. Soon after I was arrested trying to jump off the Verrazano bridge.

Hope my experience strength and hope has been helpful to you friend. I wish you luck absconding with your sanity from the nightmare zone of hellscapes where you live now. Namaste (^=

It's really easy, if you have money saved up... craigslist has rooms you can rent from people who won't even tell their landlord you are there. Just find a living situation (and remain portable, so you can move from place to place until you find somewhere you like) and get a job and build up a credit rating then you can get your own place. It helps to have a job lined up where you are going before you go there, but hey, if your savings are robust don't let that stand in the way.

1. Lie on your resume to say you know Powershell
2. Post it to "dice.com"
3. Wait for some guy from INdia to call you and demand that you move to Raleigh, North Carolina for a 6 month contract job
4. Lease a room in a shipping container some handyman converted into a tiny house
5. Rent a u-haul and fill it with your PS2 games
6. Show up to work in Raleigh with a huge rear end box of donuts. This way they won't care that you don't know powershell
7. From then on ti's nothing but sweet tea and loose women. Fat City baby!

drive down to texas, it's lovely. we have southern hospitality and nice weather and a booming economy. it's a "right to work" state so you'll have no problem finding someone willing to throw you 8 bucks an hour if you have a college degree and don't mind being "worked like a n-word" (sorry, that's just how they say it around these parts).


it really is a dream, prosperity and freedom await you my friend!
