3:42 For tips and advice that helped me move in less than 2 weeks (in bullet form)

I came here cause I am stuck. I don't know how to leave without a job elsewhere and very little money. I didn't come this far in my life to be this unhappy and miserable. I feel like I am suffocating here.

same here, same town all my life and like you said "stuck". I'm just gonna go for it, i'm tired of being afraid because "what if" it doesn't work out. I think your gut will tell you it's time, then it's about overcoming the fear of being uncomfortable and stressed for a little while. i think everything is temporary and whatever doesnt kill you makes you stronger, at least you tried and can learn from the process.

I am so sorry that I didn't see these comments sooner. I didn't realize notifications were off. I want to say how much I appreciate all of your comments. So rarely are people kind on KZread. I'm still stuck. I spoke with my AA sponsor and she's helping me break it down step by step. So first I'm going to go look at RVs. I'm still looking for a full time job but can't even get an interview which is insane since so many people don't want to work and so many are hiring. In the meantime I'm still at my part time job of 8 years and doing side gigs just trying to keep my head above water. Austin living is absurd and no matter how much I work I am still barely treading water. I have to do something and soon cause I can feel my soul being eroded slowly and as a recovering addict not only is that a dangerous thing for me but I've also worked too hard to be slowly suffocated living here. I need to find a new town/state but how does one choose where to go?

Watching this video made me realize that I would make a mistake if I move in with other family members just to get away from my own. I’d be happier if I immediately moved into my own apartment.

If you can move out on your own, that might be better than going from one situation to another for sure. It’s not easy living with people in general . But don’t rush the process if you don’t have to. I offer a 1-1 service where we can come up with a custom relocation plan for you. (See the description if you need it). Otherwise, just remember that you got this.

I am 23 still in college.I moved to MI for a job and I didn’t have enough $ and nobody I knew there. It was a rushed move because of the circumstances.no apartment no car whatsoever just a job. I got scammed by an apartment and i stayed in an air bnb for 2 weeks and paid at least $1000 for that air bnb only for 2 weeks. I then found an apartment right at the end of the 2 weeks and moved in immediately. Luckily my landlord was nice and had me move in without paying the entire $2000 move in upfront and made a payment plan with me. I moved into an empty apartment with just a stove and a fridge. I found someone who sold me their car and made a payment plan with me. I started buying furniture from scratch (bed, couch, tv you name it) and had to borrow a few dollars from my friends. Its my 3rd month now my apartment is fully furnished and better than the one I had before.I am making my last car payment and finished paying my move in cost. I am still in debt and working on it bit by bit and covered over half of all of them and will be debt free by next month Crazy situation but Its better than how it was gonna be had I not moved so I am bot complaining. Sometimes you just gotta do it and things will fall in place eventually. I wouldn’t have known how strong I am if I hadnt made the move and I wouldn’t have learned half of the things I know now.

I think you’ve already answered your own question. The fact that you have that feeling that a move out of state is necessary shows that it’s time. I think Texas would be a good move i have seen the prices in eg houston and I agree it’s way cheaper and you can be somewhere safe. Get into a state of planning. Google , KZread, Saving , researching schools , cost to ship items , maybe your car. Write it all out and then get into a state of action. Pick a date and go for it!

Girl, that's it! Kicking fear in the ass! I struggle so much with that when it comes to moving! The problem with the short term lease is I'm moving out of state quite a long way from where I'm living. The cost of moving all of my stuff across 6 states and then moving again is not something I can deal with. Step out on faith! That's really what it comes down to. Must have faith in God!

Really good video with very practical tips about work options and getting a place and sometimes the first things aren't ideal like temp work or roommate but gives a start right? I'm older, single guy, recent unfortunate breakup, and she moved away too. I'm feeling like I need a change. The new city/state is only less than 400 miles, but more progressive state. I was layed off my job back in March. I have an online side gig and another 10 weeks of unemployment. I'm start looking for remote work or remote from that city and may take a road trip to see the place. I know the idea of we can't escape ourselves, but after she left, staying here just feels stagnant or empty for me.

I just turned 18 in August. I’m a senior in high school and i graduate May 2023, and i dont have any kids. i was born in NYC and i was raised in West Michigan. I’ve been in Michigan since i was like 6 and haven’t left since. I hate it here so badly. There’s nothing to do here, everyone is leaving the city where im at, everyone around here is toxic, and literally everything else. I wanna move to Houston, TX. I’ve been trying to move there for like a year now. I tried getting my mom to move to TX because her husband has family there, better weather, more stuff to do, etc and probably wayy better than where im currently at. I have a job and im saving my money. I just wanna leave Michigan and have my own place. Im just so over it.

Then moved right after as opposed to going back home. You got this !

Hi! Congrats on your upcoming graduation and your courage and fearlessness! I don’t know if you know that if you pick a school to go to in Texas and get accepted, you would qualify for more student loan monies and that could help you on your journey. Maybe look into student housing. They have apt complexes that are exclusively for college students if you don’t want to live on campus in a dorm. Also look into the industries around where you want to live. For instance, the south part of Texas is a major chemical industry. There’s a lot of plants that pay good salaries with the right certifications and degrees. Ex. Engineers and Process Operators. I wish you well and don’t ever give up on your dreams! Do it for YOU!

This was me, at 17, I was living in West MI and was ready to go. Are you going to college? If you go to college, whether university or community at 18 the move should be easier which is why I’m still mad I declined my acceptance to an out of state school. I could’ve been left. There are a lot of perks of being a student (I miss them) If her husband has family there you should try to get to know them.

Great tips

Hey ! I’m 17 and I turn 18 in August 2024 ^ I’m from Arizona and have lived here all my life and I want to move so badly - I want to move to Indiana. I have a job and have some money saved . I know no one there but I want that fresh start your vid is so inspiring I’m binge watching all sorts of vids like these

Currently seeking to relocate to Georgia and it’s been something I’ve desired to do for YEARS. Went for a interview back in March and they didn’t even take note I was supposed to have an interview plus a current employee was having issues getting paid. I’m currently a caregiver and I’m even open to staying on the field but I’m also seeking remote positions to relocate. Preferably I’d like to have my job secured before I moved. I don’t even know how to move without a job but great tips. Thankfully though I’ve been stacking my money as I wait to relocate🙏🏾

Thank you for watching ! Being a caretaker is such noble work. You will definitely be able to find work here if you want to stay in that field. Maybe Google search care taking agencies in GA. A client of mine actually applied for a apartment prior to leaving her job , then moved . But that is having 3-6 months saved up. Definitely risky, but I say at least go into something remote that way you don’t have that headache/pressure. If it’s been on your mind, it is meant to happen. Worst case you can go back home. Good luck.

@AminahOjere

Жыл бұрын

It all depends on where you want to move to. Some cities eg NYC/San Francisco or even Philadelphia do not require a car. It is always nice to have one, but you can get by. As far as how much money to save it depends on the type of accommodation/apt/room share. I always say 3-6 month of expenses is safe. If you want further help with this, I offer a 1on1 service where we can come up with a moving plan (budget, timeline etc) and/or I can help you find accommodations .

I know I'm late. But I couldn't help the fact that I'm a scorpio....my 2 places I'm stuck on is Texas and Atlanta and I'm having q hard time just picking up and going, I've been planning and saying I'm leaving, but I'm still in Philadelphia. I'm trying to plan and keep control of the situation as well. Afraid it might not go right. Listening to you made me feel alittle better.

Жыл бұрын

Never late. Thank you for watching. Yes Scorpio gang lol. But in all seriousness, i completely understand, you have to think about what’s best for your child also. I would say one thing depending on your child’s age, at the beginning of the school year would be best for a move. As far as affordability, Texas would be best all around especially for rent/buying. Now Texas is kind of diverse(depending on the city) but not as diverse at Atlanta. But Atlanta can be rough in the city, the suburbs are a bit better and more affordable, but cost of living is rising there too. I know this may not help, but it is entirely possible. It may take you a little longer, but if your handling business now you will continue to do so for you and yours no matter what. You just have to put a plan in motion.

I love your worst case mind hack. Not everyone can do that in this housing market, but I'm pretty sure I could swing it. My place is remote so demand is low.

Interesting video because I have been contemplating about possibly moving out of state (between three cities) by late summer, to accommodate voter registration and license tag renewal deadlines. As for work, I will very likely be remote.

But of course do what your the most comfortable with and good luck !

I will definitely make a separate video at some point because it’s a bit complex. What I will say, it varies from city to city, state to state. For a 1/1 (1 bedroom 1 bath) I’ve personally seen prices from $900-$2200. The more major the city eg. Miami , LA , NY , the higher the rent . Also if your apartment has washer/dryer and updated appliances (no carpet , stainless steel) , that increases the price. Now let’s say your rent is $1600 for a 1/1 , add a extra $300 - $500 for bills. What I mean is , your bills will most likely consist of Utilities(electricity) , Water, Trash (could be vallet or just a regular fee), Renters Insurance. If you have a pet , that is a extra fee and/ some apartments charge for parking. What city are you trying to rent in if you don’t mind me asking ? Sidenote: I like to use apartment.com because you can add filters in there eg. Budget , your needs (washer dryer etc). Then I contact the apartment directly via phone and ask for prices. It helps to gauge the options available in your city.

I'm in that place. Moving July 27th. No job, no place to live, very little money. Trusting God. I'm stuck and need to move forwsrd.

What about breaking your current lease

@AminahOjere

Ай бұрын

Depending on your apartment complex you can do 1 of 4 things : 1 sublease your apartment basically get someone to take over your lease through the office/management. 2. Sublet your apartment (risky) , have someone live in your apartment and have them pay you the rent so Airbnb or fb marketplace. You would of course have to go back to the state to check and do the walk through at the end of the lease. 3. Break your lease . Some apartments have a policy where you would either loose your deposit or pay 1 month of rent. Check your lease of course or call your management and find out. Option 4 is to just ride the lease out 🥲. I hope that helps !

I became a minimalist on accident lol. And as for my duffle bags, they were the huge black burrito shaped ones. So basically I moved out of my family home right when the pandemic hit. I did not have much furniture then just enough to be comfortable in a small space. As far as clothes and random stuff, I donated and threw out so much. If I didn’t wear it or use it in the past year, I let it go. Fast forward to moving out of state, it was easy because I did most of the work prior. My plan was to move into a larger space in miami and settle but the pandemic raised the prices, and the availability for places didn’t match when I needed to move out. So I decided to just leave Florida all together lol. I basically started completely over when I got to GA and kept it simple ever since. Offer up is clutch for getting things sold asap. Maybe one day I’ll do a story time but for now thanks for commenting.
