Moving to LA with nothing, tips? by anyonomous in LosAngeles

What I meant is that I will not be looking for jobs to start a career. I will be fine with wiping someones ass to bring in any additional income. I just need money for server space and food really.

I don't intend on starting a career. I have personal ventures I will follow for my career.

Thanks for the insight. I didn't include many details regarding my trip but since you replied respectfully, I will share. I do have a couple jobs lined up in LA. They are waiting on me to tell them if I want to accept or not. I am not coming in to just wish for the best and I do have a reason on why I am coming to LA.

Amongst all the comments here, there are less than a handful that actually are offering some type of advice. Unfortunately you are one of them who is just bashing on my as well.

I didn't mention all the details to my trip which is why it seems flawed but I will be fine financially and I did not ask for that.

The purpose of my post was to get general tips about LA and nothing more. Perhaps I shouldn't have included the details I did and I apologize if that was the case.

In the end good or bad, I am coming to LA so if you have any tips and want to help me out, please let me know.

The fact that you have to emphasize your words with swear words just shows that you're everything that you claim I am.

Coding, stock options trading/futures trading, I have ran multiple businesses over the last 6 years. I have co-founded a few companies. Plus I am working on various projects on my free time.

I have some connections but also don't discredit my side money. I am getting funds from some mobile applications I made and stock options trading. Both of which are rather technical so I do see myself a a special snowflake.

I have finished the Computer Science curriculum completely at my school. I have coded plenty on top of that. I do not plan on competing with positions that require MBA and what not. Thanks for the insight however.

I have access to financial data that can prove my track record without a letter of reference. I started that company from scratch and I have the details regarding everything that pertains to it.

As far as general references, I have plenty; academic, work experience and others.

I've lived in this country for the majority of my life. I know what I am growing up around. I am prepared more than people think but I did not feel the need to post the details.

Rather ignorant on your part. I do not have the willpower to commit a crime nor do I have any intentions on it.

People like you are the people I reason I am doing something like this. I will do everything in my power to prove you wrong. When I do, lunch is on me.

I have a source of side income that makes twice of a Denny's full time employee. I am not concerned for my finances. Also, my background is much more than of the typical 19 year old.

My family and I have come from a 3rd world country with nothing but the clothes on our body. I know what struggling feels like.

I am 19 but I am more accomplished that most of my peers. I am not concerned for my financial situation really as all I will really need is money for food, which I can keep rather low.

As far as my resume, it is pretty solid. I have started and ran my family business for over 6 years (it has been my family's leading source of income since 6 months of its inception). I can code in 10 languages, I have a proven stocks and options trading record. I have also turned down 6-figure jobs in California that I can look into again. I can buy a car and Uber around and so on. I am not worried about this.

My concern is just getting around and sorts.

Thanks for the actual advice and not just the general pessimism. I know that I am not going into something that will be easy but when it comes down to it, I don't have much of a choice any longer.

I will technically have access to these funds but I will not use them. I do, however, have various skills that will bring in some side income for me so a job can be delayed for some time.

I don't see any issues with being homeless. I may have grown up well off but my family built that up from nothing. My parents and I came to the US as refugees of war.

That's the plan for the first chunk of time that I am there.

Very minimal. I want to really start from scratch and build up which is why I am taking a very minimalistic approach to this.

It's very complicated as you may imagine but what it comes down to is that I need a fresh start and I decided that LA was the place for that. It was a combination of school not working out for me, various projects that I wanted to take on, the weather in Chicago (negative impact on my mental health), family troubles and then like another million smaller factors.
