A friend and I really want to skip town over summer. We're both nineteen and are afraid that if we don't leave soon we never will. We plan on moving to Seattle (A few of our friends are moving there soon and it's not *too* far).
We don't know where to begin. My parents are fairly wealthy have told me that as long as I'm a full-time student they'll support me. My plan personally is to find a community college and transfer there.
My friend has about 3000$ saved but isn't in school. I heard that he won't be able to get a lease without a new job lined up, is that true?
Originally, our plan was:
1. Research and find a place to live on craigslist.
2. Move there.
3. He searches for a job while cruising on the money he saved.
But I've heard it should be:
1. We search for jobs AND a place to live.
2. He applies to places online and tries to find a good job.
3. We find a place with low rent that's close to my school and his work.
It seems like much more effort, more difficult etc. What exactly needs to be done in order for this move to be possible?
Sorry for the jumbled post. It's late and I can't sleep because these plans are eating me up.

You're about 30 years late for that dream.

Let's put this question back to you: would YOU lend a property, one of your biggest assets, to a teenager with no means of paying you rent?
I just don't know how you could overlook something as simple as getting a job. Your parents probably weren't talking about you moving out when they said they'd support you too.

Typically, you need your latest few paystubs as proof of income and a decent credit history to sign a proper lease, but maybe your parents can cosign for your lack of credit and put their necks on the line for you. You still need a means of paying rent.
The best thing is to find someone already living there that you know and move in with them while you estabish yourself.
But as a 28 year old man living alone, still living check to check, and driving a shit car, i strongly recommend living with your parents and saving every fucking dime you make. Buy a house. Buy a car. Have savings to fall back on. Don't be fucked if you get sick or hurt like me.
