Do you think it’s smart to move 5 states away from your hometown without a job lined up?
So my sister bought a house in full in Maine for $25k and is planning on moving there in October. The house is just a wreck and needs a lot of work done. She’s already gotten the roof done and plans on fixing it up when she gets there. I’ve kind of been against the whole thing since the beginning because this house is just so run down and she doesn’t even have a job lined up down there! As you can see from the pictures it needs ALOT done…she didn’t even get an inspection when she bought it because she bought it from one of her friends who lives there….ugh. It was appraised at $45k with the land so i guess she’s got that going for her, but I’m hoping she will just flip it and sell it if she can. She told me she has enough saved up to not work for a couple months, not too sure how much that is, but I am very worried for her. She even said she can’t afford a pod to get all of her stuff up there so she’s just taking the necessities in her small Corolla cross…What happens if she can’t find a job? She was thinking about just bartending…She has a history of hard drug use but has been clean for a couple of years. I’m just hoping she doesn’t get back into it. Doesn’t it seem like this entire plan is a disaster waiting to happen, or is it just me?
Edit:
I understand I may sound controlling, but my sister has a history of hard drug use (herion for 10 years) and getting in trouble so I’m just worried that she’s going to fuck up at some point again and end up asking my parents to bail her out for the 1 millionth time. She has cleaned up in the last couple of years and supposedly does not want to go back to that lifestyle, but I don’t know. Her being so far away from family in a town where she only has one friend doesn’t seem like a good idea to me for her mental health…
