As this relates to finances, I figured I'd post this here. Not sure where else to post this, but here goes nothing.

I'll be moving to Joplin Missouri.

Needing some advice on sleeping in my car. I have a standard 4 door sedan and the back seats do kick back. I'm needing advice on local assistance I might be able to receive. I've faced the reality that I'll be moving to an area I'm unfamiliar with and any assistance is worth while.

As far as a back story, I'm in my early 20s and had recently quit my job of working 40 - 60 hours 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift on a weekly rotation. I was falling behind in college, wasn't spending time with my child, and was facing depression. After quitting my job I've now dropped my developmental math classes and I'm on the right track to graduating on-time - which tells me I'm making the right choice. I've also been able to launch a few startup projects that are slowly starting to turn revenue, but I'm still in the negative just a few hundred dollars due to startup costs.

I'm in a sticky situation as quitting my job has left the bills piling, creditors calling, and a stringy mess of a situation really. I'm a father of one, with visitation rights, that's facing the barrel of an unfair family court system, but that's another story for another time. Good news is I have an above minimum wage job waiting for me in Joplin, but no housing in the foreseeable future. I'm planning on sleeping in my car for a few months to save up money, pay off my car (if I can last that long), keep up with child support, and keep my finances in check while being able to maintain college.

Which is why I'm coming to you for assistance.

Do you have any tips n' tricks that I might not be able to stumble upon the Internet? What am I looking forward to in Joplin? What should I look out for?
