Leaving The Nest

[Op3nTheJar]

Names Jordan, and I have something big on my chest. Im 20 years old and I want to leave home like now. I've quit my job here in houston which only pays me 8.50/hr i make about 1400/monthly, I'll be leaveing there next tuesday. I want to move to austin, out of the city and work for a couple years while I develope my forex trading skill and business ideas AWAY from where I've been for so long, I just feel like it's time to let go.

I'm paying all my bills now the only thing i'm not paying for is room and electricty, which will be a pretty decent amount on my own I'm thinking 800/monthly is about what I'll need to make extra to be on my own. I've been applying to high paying office and assistant jobs in austin to no avail. I just don't know what to do, but I know it's time to leave.

I'll put my resume up here which isn't all that great, just to see what you guys think.

There's a difference between wanting to leave and ready to leave... The last thing you want to do is have to crawl back to the 'rents because you weren't ready.

A drastic mistake i think,with the economy so bad and with no money behind you.Good luck

Don't let your emotions get the best of you. The best decisions are made with a steady mind - you can produce calculated decisions better. I live with my parents, I am 24. I save, save, save, save & I am very frugal. My goal is to keep investing! I plan to be here until I can sense the real estate market turn lower. Until then, I am buying time.

If it is at all possible, I would stay with your parents and go to a community college and at least get an associates in anything really. A lot of people will higher you based on the fact that you just have a degree. They don't care what its for often times, they just like to see that you have that kind of devotion.

Snap. Except I'm 22.

I say take your time before you jump. Secure a job that pays well and is secure and then slowly but surely make your move. Good luck
