I've got a problem here

What unexpected expenses might I expect.

 

shit costing more than you have figured.. not being able to find a place in your price range.. getting sick and not being able to work.. food and gas costing more than you figured

my income looks .. okay on paper.. looks like i could work with it.. but nope.. it's not enough when it comes down to it

 

I don't know how you plan on living on $6.50 a day for food, but trust me when I say that will not be enough. Plus there's always stuff you have to buy for the apartment. And I don't think that cheap rent will include utilites. And what about a phone? And going out? That's gets expensive out there. To really live, you should be only spending half of a months pay on rent. And even then you will probably be living pay check to pay check. But I do wish you the best of luck. Just be sure to be reasonable and honest with your budget...

 

Then how come I see all these people with houses and cars and shit like that? They can't all have big time jobs because I see people working as shelf stockers, waiters, cashiers, ect. all over the place. What other choice do I have?

 

bankruptcy rate in california is the highest in the nation,, an up 72% in the last couple years.. people live like that on credit,,that they cant pay back..

(oh wait with the new laws they have no choice)

what choice?? go where the oprotunities are better for someone starting out fresh..

 

most people .. YES most people i know that have all those nice things... are paying an arm and a leg on credit card bills for them. i refuse to have a credit card. i know 3 people in just the past 6 months that have declared backrupcy.

other people i know have good educations and have worked many years to get what they have.

i don't understans this california easy living fantasy a lot of people have. probably because i've lived here all my life and can't seem to make ends meet.

 

during one of my moves i got a hotel room and left my hotel address on all my apps and warned the front desk. they were very helpful.

 

I forgot your entire situation but can you live at home and work while you save up some money first? Give yourself like 2 years of savings and then go out there. It might not be as romantic, but it's a lot more realistic.

 

No way man, my parents are no good. Let's forget California. What about Florida, or Texas or something like that.

 

all i can honestley say about florida is,, we have a sayin about yankees that move to florida,, hate it an then move to this area..

we call them HALFBACKERS..

seems they all move there get totally discusted with it then move halfway back..

texas??

eeeeek!!!

 

where in florida?

 

I'll move just about anywhere in the south. Large cities are prefered. Why do the northern people get discussed with Florida?

 

asheville.. but its exspensive..

chattanooga is a sweet up an coming city..

atlanta sux..

 

bugs, humidity, people. i'm from florida originally. i rather like it.

 

I've thought about Tennesse. It seems that they have some low cost apartments there, and forests.

 

That sounds a lot more realistic. I could see your budget working there. Again, not as romantic as California, but much more realistic.

 

you like blue hairs tramps an cubans? doublewides in trailer parks goin for 250 grand?

sand fleeas an opressive humidity??

wow can i tie ya up an use a catO9 tails on ya?? 0

 

you can try...my mom still has a house in pennsacola just off blue angel parkway. crazy people. but i tend to avoid people whenever possible.

 

I was in Pensicola for a few days a few weeks ago. It seemed nice, but there wasn't much downtown. The weather was great. It hadn't rained in over a month.

 

CHATTANOOGA IS A SWEET TOWN,, BOOMING AN ADJUSTING,,SOMEWHAT WELL..

LOTS TO DO,, LOTSA SCENERY,, AN LOTSA lotsa work in the area..
