I am hoping to move ASAP and have no idea what I’m doing.
Does anyone have any guidance? I’ve never made much money in my life so I’m nervous about that.
I want to move to the West Coast and know it’s more expensive there. I want to be somewhere LGBT friendly. I like nature and paddle boarding too… So it would be cool to still be able to do that.
I don’t know where to start. When I look for apartments it’s always about …1 or 2 apartments in my price range in an area of hundred of thousands of people.
I’m kind of unsure about looking for a job. I typically suck at interviews and have been the type to prove myself via hard work vs selling myself to an employer. I’m a pretty quiet person and it takes a lot for me to warm up to people and I find this to be a bad trait for employment. Ime it seems social people get picked first regardless of work ethic.
Idk any advice would be great. Like steps to be broken down so I’m not overwhelmed.
I want to avoid areas of crime, and prejudice. I also enjoy people that are down to earth more than what I consider wealth, trend and privilege.
I make about $14.50 right now… lol-fml.
I wish dorm style living was a thing.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Edit: in terms of our of state… I’m thinking Vancouver CA or Toronto. West Coast would probably be Cali, OR or wa.
I’m somewhat open to East Coast south of Maryland.
Also, I’m in my 30s.
As you freely admit you have no money and seem to have no specific qualifications.
Even with those boxes checked I would never ever consider moving across country without a signed employment contract at the target location. The risks seem insane and completely outsized to me. But if you’re a way, way more adventurous type than me, at the very least you’d need enough savings to keep you off the streets for a few months if you are planning to start job hunting only after moving. Anything less would just be stupid.
