i’ve been trying to get a couple thousand dollars saved up so i can move from iowa to LA (for a multitude of reasons, but most urgently to X the long distance in my relationship), and i feel like i’m making NO progress at all. i started working 2 jobs, and i was just fired from my original one last night (long, disgusting, heartbreaking, and just wrong story there) and i don’t know what to do at all.

i need to get out of here. iowa is my home and always will be, but i feel stuck and it’s incredibly toxic and i just need to go. i can’t place my financial responsibility on my boyfriend, that’s unfair to him and sets me up for failure, and i can’t keep waiting for months and months and months with no progress.

does anyone have any advice? tips? anything? i’m having a total mental breakdown right now, and it’s just time to go. as soon as possible. ugh.
