    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.

                  Guess you should stop talking about it online then. Doing so implies you might like advice or assistance. I’ve moved across this country back and forth multiple times. I know how to do it.

                    Your misunderstanding, false assumptions, arrogance, and lack of self control are not my responsibility.
