...or convince me its a bad idea.

You aint been thru the real nikka struggle unless you been homeless :birdman:


Long story short: I took a new job very far away from where I live now. I plan on moving to the area I took the job at...but I need to stack up first. Here are my options:

A. Commute back and forth everyday. Spend about 3 hours a day on the freeway. Spend $500 a month in gas. At that rate, it would be very difficult for me to save money. I wouldnt be able to move until Feb 1st...and the quality of my life would be pretty shytty cause Id be on a tight budget til then.

B. Drive to work Monday morning...sleep in my car...drive back home after work on Friday. This way I would spend about $100 a month on gas. I would only have to do this for 4-6 weeks. I could save money a lot easier. My days would even be more enjoyable cause I dont have to sit in traffic for 3 hours. Dont sound too bad to me...but then again I never slept in my car before.

Here's my proposed plan: I work from 8am til 5pm. At 5pm I'll drive over to the public library. Chill in there...browse the internet, etc til they close at 8pm. Then go somewhere to eat dinner til 9pm. shyt, then creep out a spot a nikka can post up n park. Grab my pillow n blanket then hit that recline button on my seat. Wake up around 6am. Then hit up the gym...get a lift in...then take a shower/brush teeth/comb hair/change into work clothes....then go to work.

shyt dont sound too bad to me :yeshrug: I'm most worried about people seeing me sleeping in my car. Like damn what if one of my coworkers catch me? Or even worse some fine bytches? I'm also worried about the cops. A nikka got warrants n shyt. Plus my tags are old. I feel like bein a fukkin vagabond, parking in random places in shyt, is asking to get harassed by the police.

Just put a nikka up on the shyt I need to be concerned about. Plus some tips on how to make it easier on myself. Provide some insight on whether you think its a good idea, or if I should just bite the bullet n pay for gas n commute.

What? Warrants? Old tags? You must get that car OFF THE ROAD.

options
--get a bunk at the local HOSTEL
---use craigslist to rent a room locally

there isnt a local hostel. a bunk at the nearest one is $20 a night...so for a month it would cost me the same as i would pay commuting back to my house. no benefit.
the cheapest room i could rent locally, based on craigslist is $450, which again doesnt save me any money.


good looks my nig

edit: damn and this nikka live in San Diego too! :gladbron:

whats crackin @blacmanrhymer how does a nikka make it in these daygo streets livin out the whip? or did he really commit dat kurt cobain?

what city u live in bruh?

San Diego.....Escondido to be exact.

You can park in walmart parking lots for free and sleep no cops called.

I heard they dont let u do that in California tho u know anything about that? I dont think they would even catch me...cause I'd only be parked there for 8 hours (just overnight). Plus theres like 10 Walmarts in a 10 mile radius from me, so I'd drive to a different one every night.
