Me and my parents have worn out each other's company here

Go stay in a Buddhist monastery.

In my opinion I think it's best if you put it down. Euthanasia is a harmless procedure and it'll be out of its misery for good afterwards. You're obviously a caring owner but there comes a time where the head needs to rule, over the heart. Don't let your dog suffer any more than it has already. Just take it out back and slam a piece of concrete onto its head. It's the best thing you can do, for it and for yourself. Good luck.

Harder than it seems. Have to become Buddhist first. It turns out theyre a bunch of biased assholes. No surprise

I'll take you out back and bash your head in with a slab , boi :)

There's lots of info on the best places/cities/states to make a living. Google up top ten most affordable cities, best cities for working people, etc.

Where are you thinking of?

It's also pretty critical that you try to save up as much cash as possible and re-evaluate all of your existing recurring expenses. (e.g. online memberships like Netflix, insurance for van, any healthcare stuff, cell phone contracts)

You'll need at least a cellphone, but there are really low-cost plans out there, so investigate it. Gym memberships are also good especially for van living, but only if you know you'll be staying nearby one, so I'd hold off on that for a bit.

"Son, you just need to show some initiative, speak with the manager, give him a firm handshake, and tell him you want the job. That simple."

I used to live in TX. Very similar situation. Could not tolerate family, but had dogs.

The house actually burned down one night and I was suddenly homeless, with the dogs. I had nothing left but my car and the dogs. I took them with me up to Nebraska post-fire and left my family behind without warning.

What I did was immediately get a job at a kennel where I was allowed to bring the dogs with me and keep them in a spare kennel there. I went from there to finding a place to live with the dogs instead of my car (renting a room off craigslist), then eventually into a decently paying job not dependent on having somewhere to stash the dogs when I could not stay with them in my car/a park/etc.

Been about a year now, going well. I have my own apartment in a complex with nice facilities for dogs.

Save up enough money to cover the expenses associated with deposit on an apartment, pet fee/deposit, etc. before you go so you can try to get moved into somewhere ASAP unless youre OK with room-renting. In which case, try to arrange a room BEFORE you move. This option is easier since you won't need proof of income like with an apartment, but it was difficult for me because I could not leave the dogs home alone / with the roommates.

This will be easier if you consider the weather/temperature as well. It is easier to be in a car (or van) in cold weather than in hot, especially with dogs.

You are completely fucking retarded.
