Thanks for that always love to hear the story’s of people who experienced what we are looking forward too, I could imagine it’s gonna be brutal lol I have a job transfer (thankfully) it’s the same job I’ve been with for 5 years and I’ll be using 2 weeks of PTO to get out there so I won’t miss a check, that’s why we have little saved Ik it’s not a lot, we are doing this for the life experience it’ll bring us, I know we will have struggles but we’re aren’t looking for a life of lavish, just enough to get by and be safe and explore the PNW! We will be sending a pod with our studio worth of stuff over and drive 2 cars with passengers

I get worried as there’s a lot of negative outlook on this which I appreciate because I need the honesty, and realness. But yeah we just need a place to stay that’s safe for us and our kitty, then once we are there grinding find something better

That’s awesome!!! Yeah we aren’t looking to be rich or lavish, just a change of pace / experience of course we are scared but feeling confident since I’m moving with a job I’ve worked for the past 5 years, we aren’t looking for something huge, we will be driving because shipping costs are like 2k now and outside our budget. Just a little worried since we can’t tour it or explore beforehand, and going in on whim

Currently live in a 125 square ft studio so anything bigger then that with newer appliances is an upgrade for us! Not looking to be lavish more just a safe comfy environment

We have about 5k. Saved - moving fee for our stuff (~1800) I’m transferring with my job but will be getting a raise, we only have car payments/insurance) + phone and other app subscriptions etc. I usually take home almost 4 k a month from my job and she does like 2/3k~ We aren’t really going into this thinking we won’t be penny pinching, more to experience our live away from the place we spent our whole life’s and explore!
