I wanna move to either Florida, Colorado, or California to get out of this bad weather..

I'm 23 with not a dollar to my name, I'm living with a friend right now but no family.. I have nothing to hold onto here in Pittsburgh..

If my friend kicks me out ill be homeless so id rather be homeless in a warm area.

Sometimes when you've got nothing left, a change is for the best. Best of luck.

Do it. My wife and I recently fell on some hard luck, and a stab in the back causing me to lose my business. Th last time I ate was a noodle cup yesterday. We're thinking about picking up and going as well.

When you have nothing, sometimes a move will help change everything around. I would definitely advise you to move somewhere cheaper though.

I'm 22. We're still young, change it while you can. Best of luck.

Are there any cheap/warm places? I want to get outta the cold forever.

I have a gym membership that is 24/7 for the next 12 months, so free shower and shelter...and a work out..

food and sleep are my only concerns..I'm good for the moment but as we all know...moments are temporary... like a blink of an eye.

thanks guys and good luck with your journeys and God bless

So with no money to your name how will you travel to this new destination? Gas is not cheap, certainly not anywhere in CA! From all reports, jobs are also not easy to come by here in CA. I understand wanting to start over, but I would suggest you need to at least save up some money to get to the new place. Good luck.. and stay warm!

Can you hook up with someone else to go with you. It's a dangerous world out there. And you'll feel less lonely. I would probably go to Texas.

Unfortunately Pittsburgh and surrounding area are one of the cheapest places to live, I live on Cape Cod grew up here and now husband is nearing retirement and we bought a house in Wierton WV, about 25 miles from Pittsburgh, because it was about the cheapest place we could find to retire too, unfortunately it will be living on Social Security and little else so living costs a huge consideration.

I can tell you for sure that CA is one of the most expensive places to live, Florida is not cheap either and Florida is Humid hot, not dry hot.

Good luck to you however you go.

Why not get a job? Then you maybe can afford a place to live and maybe even have a life or save enough to relocate. Pittsburgh really is a pretty nice place to live. Weather is gonna happen no matter where you go. If you don't have winter you have hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes.

Well, it's one road and a straight shot down to Florida. You could ask on Craigslist if anyone would give you a ride.
