Topic: I'm looking to move without a plan

Anonymous A started this discussion 1 year ago #120,836

I need out of my small, rural hometown. I need a big, coastal city. I have a few hundred dollars, a car, no job lined up, and no apartment lined up.

Any advice?

Get a job to where you can save about 5 grand Then come back and ask if you want some real, logical advice. If not just go blow your few hundred bucks on some cheap drugs and a crack whore.

What do I need 5 grand for? I'm willing to work multiple jobs and live out of my car.

Living out of a car may result in some costly tickets from police. So you need $ saved to cover that.
Few hundred is just asking for trouble.

I lived off 3 grand and a motel 20 years back. Bought a $600 car that lasted 3 weeks before dying with compression issues... got a job as a dishwasher... was a pretty miserable hole to dig out of... I don't recommend it without having income lined up.

Here's what I would do.

Make 200 phone calls to employers asking about part time work at their business. Say you are moving. Do not say you are going to live in your car.

Have $2000 in the bank. Don't move without that. Your car could get stolen or break down. Join a gym at the destination location, you'll be showering there.

The good thing about not having a chosen destination is you can choose the place that is going to employ you first.

I am doing this right now, ama me anything. But I started with a fair bit more than $100, and I'd wager you'll need to as well. What's your current living situation like? You need to pinch every penny you can until you have enough saved up for travel costs, temporary housing for a few months, food, etc to last you until you find a job in your new area. I'd recommend at least $5-10,000. $5000 is pushing it especially if you're in the US but you could potentially make it work if you're willing to make a lot of sacrifices to quality of life. I'd shoot for $10,000.
