        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.

                  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.
