        I need $4200 to ditch this place and get back nyc (my home), but I just can’t seem to get it together. This place is like a black hole.

            I’ve had the last year to work it out.

            $3k for the first month and deposit on a place in Brooklyn I already have planned, and $1200 for the drive up (I need a U-Haul to move stuff). This includes my calculations for how much gas I would need and food I would eat on the trip up.

            It’s a 16 -20 hour drive, and I plan to do it all in one shot.

                    I am already down to the bare bones. I have nothing to sell. And U-Haul doesn’t let you drive a van across state lines. You have to get a truck.

                    You know, it’s pretty arrogant of you to think you have any advice to give me after I’ve been planning this for a year. this for a year. Especially since I didn’t ask for your advice, and you’ve been 100% wrong about everything due to your ridiculous assumptions about me.

                    Your advice is unwelcome

                  That’s how I moved back when I was poor, and I moved a lot. I would buy used furniture in whatever new place I was in. Saves a lot of money if you don’t ship your stuff with you. And media mail is fantastic.

                    I don’t have any furniture.

                    See? You don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t need or want any advice about this.

          I know. But I’d do everything in my power to get out of there. This is only going to get worse. Stay safe.

            The last time I tried to escape Florida, it took me 6 years, and I just barely made it out.

            I’m already a year in this time, and I’m mostly trying not to kill myself.

            I’m working on it
