I'll try to keep this short. Right now, my current plan is to finish my online college course for Nutrition and Foodservice Management, to get my CDM credential. The course is all paid for. This will allow me to run commercial kitchens in healthcare facilities. I just started the course, it should be finished a year from now. I live near Philadelphia, PA. I am 19 and living with my parents trying to save up as much as I can.
However, my backup plan is that if I can't find a job that will be able to make me financially independent, I want to move to Colorado where my brother lives, he has a house there and says that a room is always open for me if I ever wanna move there. I figure that I could help him with the mortgage payments should I move there until I find a suitable job. It is such a beautiful state and I would love to live there one day. I want to consolidate all my possessions to be able to fit into my car, so I could drive to CO to move there, and simplify my travel. This means I would sell a lot of my stuff to get some extra money before moving, which I don't mind. I haven't been using a lot of my things recently and it would be best if I just simplify my life.
I have family at various points between PA and CO, so I could make arrangements to stay a night at each place to visit, and take a break from the road instead of getting motels. Right now my main goal is to finish my course and save up as much money as I can before moving. I don't really have a whole lot of friends up here anymore after graduating high school, plus its just getting old and repetitive living here, so I wouldn't be leaving much behind. It would be nice to have a fresh start, what do you guys think of all this?
