Since you are just 22, move to the Seattle area and get a roommate. It is expensive here, but the minimum wage is high, there is no state income tax and they have one of the best public transportation systems in the country. I live in Kent. If you go closer to Tacoma, rent gets cheaper.
If you are not moving before next year, you can rent my crappy apartment. I pay $525, all utilities included minus cable and internet.I am leaving the country for a while next year.
Reno Nevada.
It would help if we knew WHERE you are!
I'm 22 and have a factory job. Not too much work experience to speak of (factory and grocery store jobs since I'm 16) I don't have a car and I hate where I live. Any advice on where I could move that has great public transportation (i.e. a fair majority of people my age take it) and the cost of living isn't astronomical?
