Relocation Advice Needed

[Tiga KParticipant 1693]

Hey everybody, its good to be back on the mgtow forum, even if only temporarily. As my title suggest, I will be relocating for work. I recently graduated from college and have been trying hard to reach this point, but here I am. This will be my first time moving away from home and I would appreciate it if anyone could share their experiences with relocation and hopefully provide a few tips.

How do you go about finding a safe, but affordable place in a city you barely know anything about? I have spoken to a couple of native acquaintances and gotten opinions online on relevant sites, but opinions vary and sometimes even contradict. Another annoying thing I get is when people find out I am single. Suddenly the advice becomes about finding a place to live where I can “meet people my own age”. I would tell them I don’t care about that, but I’d hate to be rude to anyone taking time out of their schedule to try and help me out.

The very best advice I got in my entire life of 58 years words from a man who said look to the Future. If you have a degree in it, where’s the future of that industry going then you look.

Worry about your career not your housing

I get what you are saying, but I still need to find a place in the city I am going to start my career in. The career part, I’ve got a pretty good idea what I want. My aim is to make six figures annually before I reach 40 years of age and I know the path I have to take to reach that goal.

I was a pretty big swinging Dick back in the day (Google that) and I used to pay lots of money to go to Great seminars. One of the best ones that I ever went to was by a man named Brian Tracy. Brian spoke to boys, he asked them “what do you want to be?”

For the most part all of the boys wanted to be retired businessman. There are no shortcuts available that I know of hard work perseverance these are things that Mark your character . There’s no Silver Bullet but Look, there’s definitely going to be a better part of town no matter where you go, it’s always best to pay a little bit more instead of being a cheap stupid bitch,

Paying for what you get is always worth it.

@ TattoDave

Thank you for the replies.

I would say try your best to keep your commute short. You’ll have extra time in every day if you aren’t spending it going back and forth to work. Also, try to keep any lease short, say six months. That will give you enough time to figure out if you’ve made a mistake.

I recommend avoiding cities like the plague. I’ve lived in Chicago, Des Moines, Richmond Atlanta etc. And I can tell you categorically they all suck.

High taxes, crime, everything is expensive, traffic is a nightmare etc. Live in the sticks!

Congratulations TK! You’re starting out on the right foot and that’s great news!

If you have a car drive around the city (GPS) and survey it in person.

People your own age means noise until the early morning hours and nonstop on the weekends. The best place I lived when I moved out was in a motorhome parked in the mill yard I used to work at, I slept with a 12ga pump just in case.
It was QUIET! No neighbors, next to a river, and very secluded. For starting out on my own it was HEAVEN! The only noise ever came from church bells on Sunday morning across the river. I would seriously consider living in a factory or warehouse with running water away from people, or an apartment above a daytime business so when night comes you can enjoy a drama free existence, a gated factory with indoor parking would be awesome! I had it great because I could work on my own stuff inside with a zillion sq ft of room! I could get my car up to 35mph INSIDE!

The kind of place I’m describing no woman would want to live there and that LOWERS THE RENT! I was paying next to nothing and trading labor to live where I could do doughnuts INSIDE!

Find a place, a studio, all by itself, you wont regret living in that kind of place!

Even now except for one neighbor the entire street is abandoned and turned to dense forest, MY KIND OF PLACE! I can get a snowmobile up to 85mph on the lake, with or without ice! The roads no, too many trees and obstacles to hit, living anywhere else is like living in a policetopia cage! It only takes a phone call from any neighbor to make an entire neighborhood suffer in flashing blue light hell!

No one calls the cops when you’re the one with the 12ga pump. I would trade my house to live in a secure abandoned factory with barbed wire gates.

I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m happiest when I’m the junkyard dog!

F~~~ LIVING IN A KENNEL!!!

If you have the option, I would suggest you take a month and do a road trip to the places you’re most likely to work in. There’s no substitute for hands on research.

Plus the local news, the times told me that I needed to move back in 1989. Never regret but never forget

Read the forums in city-data.com.

College student here, my considerations in order:
-Close to work/school (time is money)
-Price (either room with 2 or 3 other guys and split rent, or slightly more expensive, get a studio apartment. Some people split a 3 bedroom apartment between 4 guys, one person in living room)
-Privacy (for me having my own room is enough, but you may need a studio apartment)

Whatever you do, DO NOT get college campus housing. It may be close to campus, but it’s overpriced, s~~~ty, tons of rules, and a massive safe space. One of the biggest mistakes of my life.

What worked for me: either on craigslist or with friends, get a single room, shared bathroom + kitchen, for market price ($500 in my area) within walking/biking distance of my college.

Currently trying to figure out how to live in the back of a box truck. Save on rent, plus takes out the pain of moving if your career is that kind of career.

Good luck whatever you choose

You can always move again. I lived in a bad part of town for 6 months and then just moved.

Keep your ear to the ground and tell everyone you meet that you’re looking for a new place. I found all my places through acquaintances, even where I live currently 🙂

Mg-tower’s place sounds great 😀

My advice for finding a place is ask about the local’s experiences, especially honest shop owners, ask about the crime rates and what they experience. Scout the area for a week or so, especially friday night and most of all be honest about what you want. I find that the more honest I am the better things go, even if that means I lose friends- great, they were shills and opposed to my philosophy. Fou can frame your desires differently: You don’t have to say “I’m mgtow and want all you arseholes to f~~~ off” you can just say “I’m not interested in meeting people at the moment, thanks anyways, I just want a decent neighbourhood” 🙂

[PuniShredderParticipant 2268]

I say f~~~ all of those plans. AVOID A CAREER!!!! Get off the f~~~ing anglo slavery plantation! Go out and seek adventure and live s rich life!! First buy a cheap RV and see N America. Then buy a small sailboat and go out further. Have tropical adventures, climb mountains, experience distant lands, cultures. F~~~ a career man…a MGTOW does NOT need a f~~~ing career. We need to live minimally and seek a full and rich life. Read:

Be professional be polite but always have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

[Point Of No ReturnParticipant 4074]

Live minimally, yeah especially if support payments gonna keep you down no matter anyhow. Might as well just make it work for yourself and live using your TIME.

Know when it is your duty to give them zero explanations for your actions.
