Thanks for the advice...but I don't feel like leaving just yet (I'm trying to leave in 2016). It's my life. I can't just pack up and leave when I already have so many obligations and stuff here..
That's what I don't get about this type of thing...it's not that simple.
But yes..I am trying to find better work.
And straight up and down...I'M NOT TRYING TO fukkING LIVE IN GODDAMN TEXAS!
thanks for the advice though...appreciated.
So let me ask you this. Is There ANY place besides NYC you could see yourself living in?
And if you have no wife, kids, or decent job what exactly is obligating you to live in that city?
I'm sorry man, but your living in the last place anybody should be trying to scrape by on less than $500 a month. You say you don't want to live in Texas but a 12-13$ a hour job down there would be A VAST improvement over the situation you have right now. And not just Texas but Atlanta is also a good option.
I'm telling you breh...you don't want to hear it but eventually your gonna have to come to grips with that reality. I've seen this story A MILLION Times . It ain't the 70/80's anymore when Madonna or Patti Smith could move to NYC and rent a room for 60-80$ a month and focus on their art mostly. Now Patti is telling artist to get the hell out of NYC cause it's not built for starving artist/creatives anymore.Unless they are trust fund kids.
And rent is only going UP in BK. The people working in finance and trust fund kids got Brooklyn damn near worse than Manhattan.
