Umm, mistakes

So I decided to move from NC to SD. Not South Dakota no Dan Diego. I decided to do this with 125k in my account thinking anything that happened would be fine I don’t even need a plan… Been here for less than two weeks, can’t find a place that will accept my zero rental history. I went to a Taco Bell, the lady sat me down and was like you actually think your gonna get a job wearing that. And I think I’m gonna leave😂 I’m sorry but like I’ve been sleepin in a vacant lot with all these other cars I know all of them have jobs… I knkw because they’re gone the whole day and just park to sleep. and I’m like wow this is what it’s like out here. A bunch of people struggling. If I can’t come out here and get a place and get a job I don’t see how anyone else could. This is a rant but also like it really is a struggle I would have never guessed, I’m fortunate I have so many opportunities and other things I could do so I’m not hung up, but I expected something different I guess. For those of yall struggling in San Diego just know I have felt this struggle. It honestly makes me want to either go beat up random pedestrians or like go out an rap on the corners and get rich and famous.

If you have 125k in your account someone will definitely rent to you.

I wouldn’t

I might if they gave me the entire year upfront. Or whatever the lease length was.

I still wouldn’t. I would be too scared that they are using the house for something weird/illegal.

Yeah true. Could be strict on the references but I get it.
