Williamsburg: / Have to move + Have family nearby + Amusement parks - End up living with parents - dont really like williamsburg + Lower cost of living + Livelier than Lynchburg - May have to Temporarily rely on others $- need to collect about 1.5k for temp cushion You don't _have_ to live with parents. You can get own place, they would just be nearby. You _could_ lie with them temporarily if you chose to in order to get started. Lynchburg: + not imposing on others - Have to move + Have lots of family nearby - too slow / too quiet / small town + Lower cost of living - May have to Temporarily rely on others - much lower income $- moving expenses and about 1k to help with rent+food before job Don't discount family. You're close by, its different when they're out of reach... Houston: - Have to move cross country - Heat - May have to Temporarily rely on others + new environment + New types of chicks + nephews + clubs + A new start <- I really wanna start fresh + Have family nearby $ about 2k for moving expenses and temp cushion Money can be iffy I'd rather save up 2k too be honest You get used to the heat. ;] We'd have to discuss the "rely on others" part, but you've got that potential complication anywhere you go.
