For the past 3 months I've been wanting to leave my home in Ohio somewhere else. On Friday I got a call from a company and they hired me to fix some coca cola machines for 6 weeks in Virginia Beach. I don't have a place to stay and I only have $344 in my bank account. I have a check for $275 coming in the mail and another check for about $100 for tax returns. I'm 20 years old and going through a hard break up with my ex where she cheated on me and flew out on a plane to go spend a weekend with this guy. I'm so hurt and I am not happy here anymore. I've been wanting to leave for so long but she was holding me back, and now she's gone and nothing's holding me back. I have friends telling me go and friends telling me don't. No one can help me with money for a place to live if I go down there but I just want to be happy. I have a job I just got up here in Ohio paying $13 an hour but working
55-60 hours a week so I would be able to make a lot of money. This job I'm taking for 6 weeks is paying me $1,300 a week. I just need help. I need some advice. I know I will be better off staying here and saving money then trying to get a job down there but I can't wait anymore. I've hit my limit and living in the same city as my ex gives me f****** anxiety attacks all the time I can't do this. Do you guys think going down with this money and spending a week in my car and a week in a motel until I get paid is a good idea? I just know I would be happier if I go so you guys let me know, I'm in a very dark place in my life right now and could use any help.
My brother in law has used those home sharing sites when he travels to get accommodations on the cheap, I think it is airbnb, it freaks me out, but he has done it abroad and here in the states with good results, as a man (I know that sounds bad) you might want to look it up. I think it is worth the risk to find some happiness away and in such a beautiful place. Hugs and welcome.
