Question

I live in Missouri, Saint Joseph to be EXACT and really i think New York can be a new start for me, how do i break the ice to my family and friends, i'm going to have a job, and save up money [which pay should be 9.75 per hr, so i think i'm ok on the plane ticket] to live out there and off of until i find a job there, which hopefully wont be hard. i just dont want to upset anyone, but i really just need a break from them.

Answer 1

Hey neighbor... I live in Joplin...
Are you a Senior this year in High School?
If so, you have a full year to think about this and you could change your mind. Go ahead and save your money.
It will take a lot of money to move to New York.
Everything is Extremely Expensive there, Rent is High, High, High....
If you have the need to tell people. Just start off by saying you would like to move to New York someday and was thinking about it when I graduate. I am sure you will get a lot of opinions from family and friends. Listen to what they have to say and think about it before you make a drastic move like that.
Good Luck, faith
