    Time is money here in the states. I can’t pay rent for an apartment full of my stuff if I’m traveling and not working. To go away for one week I need at least 2 weeks of pay saved up. I’ve had the privilege of traveling before and am saving for another time in the future but the fact I can save at all is because of a series of lucky breaks.

    Also I have terrible credit so no one will ever give me a cc that isn’t a horrible deal (400ish) and if something goes wrong and I’m stranded what then? I know I’m not alone in this.

      seriously. i don’t want to have to go knock the door of [church what done me and mine wrong] and beg for help. i know i can find folk in it who would, but like i worked in homelessness services and there are areas of the country where if you don’t wear a cross and praise jesus you’re fucked.
