Want To Move But Have No Cash? 5 Tips To Make It Happen!
Whether you grew up in a big city or a small town most of us get restless from time to time. Unfortunately its when you are young that this desire to relocate usually flares up, and if you are young, chances are that you are broke most of the time. So, what to do if you really want to move to a big city, but don't want to live in a cardboard box? Here is a little checklist to get you started.
1. Make a decision and follow it through. It's easy to move back if you for some reason need to. It will be harder to forgive yourself if you one day wake up and realize that you have wasted a good portion of your life in a place you hate.
2. Start today and not tomorrow. Procrastination and laziness are your two greatest enemies. Almost everything you think you need to wait for will happen in the new place as well. If it is a person, they can join you later.
3. Set up a checklist of things that needs to be done. Find out what kind of budget you need and if that is realistic. If not, what do you need to do to make it happen? Work more? Get a roommate? Check available jobs. Look for transport options. Sort through your stuff to separate the essentials from the unimportant.
4. Make it happen now. Tell your boss that you are quitting next month. Start giving away your stuff. Get an apartment at your new destination. It doesn't matter how, but you need to get the ball rolling.
5. Use your network of friends. And friend of friends too for that matter. People are usually surprisingly helpful. And since you probably know one of those guys that always brags about his good friend that lives on Manhattan Island, maybe he could help out or shut up? See what people can do for you, but do not expect if for nothing. Offer to help out, clean and cook if yo crash at someones place. Try to not bee too much of a leech.
