Okay I know the title sounds crazy but I need to give a bit more context so people can understand my situation.

I have lived in my current city for about 4 years now and to say it’s been traumatic is an understatement. Since living here, I’ve been physically assaulted 5x times. I’ve been set up, stalked, experienced intense racism, have been robbed on numerous occasions and threatened. 9/10 many of these encounters were due to jealousy so I’ve lost all trust in anyone. I originally planned on moving in the next 6 months but I absolutely can’t wait but due to all of these events that have happened the last few years I never leave my house. It’s so hard to heal living in the city where everything happened.

I’ve been working at my company for about 9 months now but got promoted and started the new role only 4 weeks ago. I don’t have anything saved up because I’ve been paying off thousands in debt and still have 2000 left of credit card debt to go. My plan is to save up for August, September and October, and then move in November. I will try to transfer my job to the new state since they have office all over and more job opportunities and find someone to take over my lease and apply for a studio in the new city to save up as well. The city I live in is small with limited opportunities which has caused me to struggle beyond words.

I know many recommend to save at least 10k before moving but I simply can’t stay here long enough to save that much. By October I might have $3000 or $4000 saved.

I know this doesn’t sound so responsible but I really need to do this for my mental health.

Has anyone been in a similar situation
