is it possible to move out on like $3,000 or less? i have no job/skills but i need to get the fuck out ASAP. long story short, my grandpa is really abusive and I don't want to deal with it anymore.
Yes, If you have the skills to find a job within two months
>>34349221
I have around $3500 in the bank. Bumping this thread for more info.

You can last a lot longer than 2 months on 3k if you find someone to rent a room from. Depending on where you are or where you are willing to go (get a ticket to a uni town or the outskirts of a big city). Find someone to rent with online. You could last 4 - 6 months on $3k if you share a place with others.
Throw him down the steps dumbass
I just got a new job making $2100/month
Wondering if I can afford to move out with a buddy of mine. I guess $800 for rent is as high as I'd go.
I live in Midwestern IL
i would never feel comfortable moving out on less than like 10K unless I already had a couple of job offers before I arrived.

My senpai pays $1100 for rent in a 2000+ sq ft home in midwestern IL. You can get a two bedroom apartment for probably $400-500 if you're not particular about location.

>being abused by an old man
yeah you're definitely gonna make it out in the real world buddy :^)
>>34349709
If its the old mans house OP would be in for a world of hurt in prison and a long sentence if he so much as laid a finger on him.
>>34349699
lmao nice fantasy. $500/month two bedroom apartments yep
You can get a studio for $500 in shit towns out here like Bridgeport if you want. Then we can be friends :D
>>34349221
i mean you can move out but then what are you going to do when those 3k are gone?
a better question would be "how quickly can i get a job that will pay enough so i can move out?"
>>34349620
even if you live somewhere expensive like Southern Cali you can easily live on your own with 2.1k a month

>Southern Cali you can easily live on your own with 2.1k a month
what the fuck drugs are you smoking
>>34349699
You're right. I'm looking at something not too cheap. I really don't wanna live next to niggers.
My friend is very particular about how nice it is but we don't make that much!
So $800 is out limit. I live near St Louis btw
>>34349770
How shit is shit?
>>34349830
literally that picture
>>34349830
Pretty shit. It's not Chicago or anything but it's debatably the worst city in CT along with New Haven and Hartford. Think crack houses.
>>34349808
anything 15 miles outside of LA and you're good.
inland empire, bakersfield, victorville all have a lot of listings for 900 and even cheaper if you go towards palmsprings. you might have max savings of around 200 or 300 a month but it absolutely doable.

>even if you live somewhere expensive like Southern Cali you can easily live on your own with 2.1k a month
Lol, no, 3k a month AFTER TAXES, maybe, but 2.1k, no
Buy a used work van. They're very common, spacious, cheap vehicles. Live in the back of it.

>>34349989
Would 44-45,000 be good enough?
>>34349221
Most apartments won't approve you to move in unless you can show evidence of having enough income to cover double the rent.
>>34350053
If that's after taxes, youre good, you won't live in Santa Monica or near the beach but you won't be living in Compton either
>>34349221
Yes I think $3k is enough to move out on if you are looking to stay in the same city and you get a lot of the shit you need for cheap on craigslist etc
the hard part of course is finding a place you can afford on an ongoing basis
>>34350050
that looks like a nightmare to put together and manage.
>>34349221
yeah thats plenty
still working at crown cork n seal?
>>34350213
The van is already assembled. I said pic was not related. Don't do that. Just get the van and a sleeping bag and shit.
Maybe a cantenna for free wifi, or use a smartphone as a hotspot.
>>34349770
>Free ma niggaz
Deep.
>>34349812
lmao
dont wanna live near niggers
lives in st louis.....
>>34349808
>>34349989
there is more to southern California than LA and san diego you know
i live in apple valley in a studio apartment for $780 a month and i earn $2400 a month after taxes and i could still make it with $2100 a month
>>34350556
Isn't that inland empire? When I think of SoCal, I think of LA, SD, Riverside, OC, whatever Temecula is
>>34350769
yes, and its still socal
>>34349221
If you know how to suck a mean dick, you're well on your way to financial freedom.
join the army
got me out of the house and in my own place in under a month
Get a job first. Then move out. Nothing is more defeating than having to move back.
