I wish I had no job and no debt, I would be gone tomorrow. Unfortuneatly I have 2 kids in high school. I have told them both that when my youngest goes to college, 4 years down the road, that I am selling the house and moving. If I didn’t have the debt and kids though…. Find a job and start saving some cash, aeven a part time job, sice you have no debt you can build up a pile fairly quickly. Get some cash in the bank and then go.
Here is a off-the-wall suggestion though, and I’m not pimping the military or anything, see about a 2 year enlistment. Save every penny you get for two years and then bounce. I dont know if they still offer 2yr enlistments but ya never know. When you think about it a 2yr enlistment is not really 2yrs.. Let me explain from an Air Force point of view:
Basic Training is 6wks. Depending on the job you get the technical school can be up to 6 month. So right off the bat you have killed 7½ months of your 2yr enlistment just getting in and learning your job. Take 30 days advanced leave after technical school and you are now at 8½ month down. You get to your first duty station and have to go through OJT before you become deployable, lets say that take 3 months…11½ months down. Take 10 days Recruiter Assistance and 5 days leave (vacation), and you just killed your 1st year. You do your for a couple months, 95% sure you would not be deployed, then you start getting your seperation paperwork started. before you know it the 2yrs is done, you’ve been banking $1000+ a month, and your out, debt free still and have $24K in the bank.
Just a thought. I had 2 young folks do it when I was active duty. Would definetly get you the cash and some skills.
AGAIN.. IM NOT PIMPING THE MIILITARY, JUST OFFERING A SUGGESTION!!!
