First Time Moving Out of State

[5 Grand]

If you've never been to Cali then it's unexplainable. But I'll try to explain it. Its like paradise. People don't litter and every day has perfect weather. The sky is clear blue, everybody has a nice shiny car.

Cali is the type of place that if you're poor, broke and lonely, at least your in California.

As far as New York goes; Harlem is GOAT. You can just walk down the street with no car and every day is an adventure. The way people dress is 2 to 3 years ahead of everywhere else. They have styles that the rest of America will get in 2016 or 2017. Also the weed spots and coke spots give you twice as much as you'd get anywhere else (although the weed in California>>>the weed in New York).

In Harlem you can walk down 125th St and cop just about anything for 1/2 of what it would cost anywhere else. The cost of living in Harlem is about 1/2 of what the rest of NYC is. For example, you can get a sandwich in Harlem for $3, downtown the same sandwich would cost $6 or more.

yea, I wasn't asking which state to move too but the essentials of moving out of state for the first time. What to expect? What I need to do beforehand? How much start off money? Who has the best furniture, secondhand shops or big retailers or even craigslist?

Preparation and risk backed by Faith. Don't worry and don't think too deep into it.

Get furniture from rooms2go, conns, any credit place but pay it off within 3-4 months to avoid interest rates and build credit. Don't do craigslist.

Good luck.

Cali >>> texas

For what? High cost of living, high taxes, And no jobs? Only thing Cali has on Texas is basically legal weed and even then bruh that's if you smoke weed.

Weather

That's about it....but even still y'all can have them damn earthquakes.

Move to an open carry state

As a person that's moved around alot, it's best to go in blind.

All the research and inquisition takes away from the experience of venturing beyond the comfort zone.

You can get all the insight you want but none of it will trump personal experience.

Beyond that, these jaded mf's are the last ones you wanna ask for advice.

No matter where you go, you should expect everything you've learned and thought to be challenged. Embrace that. Nervous? Good. It'll keep you sharp. Listen to your instincts. Don't be afraid to let others help, but be cautious of people. And understand everybody else is just trying to survive just like you are.

Before hand you should have a plan as well. This can involve goals, managing your finances, bill schedule, shopping areas. etc. Just learn how to take charge of your life. Going in blind is cool if you ain't got shit to lose I guess. But it's a good way to end up homeless too, I know this as fact. You ain't got a safety net(parents/relatives) on your own outta state and don't expect the world to give a fuck bout your problems, it's got it's own.

But you look like a fly looking female in your avi...oh, yeah... what state you moving too? I think you'll find some helpful individual willing to help you with your transition. But be careful, folks is crazy out here.

Start up money, depends on where you're going. It took about 2 to 3k for me after setting up utilities and extremities. Deposits and wares for the pad. I know I spent over a hundred in one trip buying shit like shower curtains, towels, garbage cans, duck tape, and shit like that. If mom and dad are willing to give your some shit, take it. I regretted not taking the microwave my folks offered my first few nights and couldn't even remember the last time I'd used it before leaving they house.

Stay the fuck off Craigslist. Personally, I hate used shit anyway. And warranty's are your friend. Furniture stores shouldn't be a problem, if anything they'll find you once you get a mailing address. Just be willing to shop around and hit the pavement if need be. Deals can be found when you least expect it. Expect to start out small and gradually build up your sanctuary. I got wreckless and tried getting too much at once, cost me way more money and inconvenience than it should later.

That's another thing, patience is truly going to reveal itself as a virtue.

Rule #1 Don't trust anybody. No matter how friendly and genuine they seem, don't trust them.

What impacted my decision when I moved out of state was which company offered the best relocation package, cause moving is expensive. From there I researched how much would it cost to change my tags and licenses over as well are the taxes high compared to where I was living currently.

Narrowed down to tx, tn, and sc....really appreciate your advice, you dropped some heavy ish for me to think about.

The REALEST quote I've seen thus far...will definitely take that with me as I continue to plan for this move. Thank you
