How do you manage to gain sufficient money to travel anyways? I just started a line cook job that provides me $18 per hour, so I am currently broke as shit. Despite all this I plan on traveling to NYC from central Kentucky this November for a weekend to a concert.What worries me is if the money saved from now to then be enough, so I was wondering exactly for methods or ways to make extra money that YOU know about, hell, I would even whore myself out to make some money.
>>2890790>I just started a line cook job that provides me $18 per hour, so I am currently broke as shit.then you're retarded. I was making $20, $21, and $24 an hour at each of my three jobs in NYC. And after 5 months I had $15k+ saved
I didn't travel at 19, but I saved so I could travel for 3 months of Europe at 21. It may not happen over night, but you'll get there, Now I'm 33, an oldfag and make enough to travel twice a year
>>2890795>$3000+ saved per monthYeah, that's putting in well over 40 hours a week. Too much. Shekelberg's economic machine doesn't deserve that much of my effort.>>2890790You're going to have to deal with a lot of delayed gratification. Buses to NYC should be easy to come by, and hopefully you know somebody in the city that you will be meeting for the concert, so you won't have to pay for lodging.

>>2890790> $18 per hour, so I am currently broke as shit.What expenses do you have at 19 that this isn't plenty?
>>2890790assume you live with a parent rather than on your own. If so, save your money and travel as soon as you can. If you are going to NYC, stay in New Jersey—a lot of people commute from there to the city, and it is much cheaper. Just make sure you have a plan for what you want to do once you're there.First, look into walkable cities and consider making them weekend getaways. After you have been at your job for six months to a year, ask your boss for a three-day weekend to enjoy a longer trip. I highly recommend saving $10,000 to $20,000, quitting your job, and picking a region or country in the world to fully explore. $10,000 USD is plenty to enjoy Japan for a month or two if not more, especially if you travel on a budget and stay outside of Tokyo. Have fun, kid traveling is much more magical when you are young.P.S. Only quit your job when it makes sense. Obviously, if you are trying to build a career, feeding a family, or saving up for other major goals, do not quit.
>>2890867I already worked like a demon for 100 days straight to bump my savings up above $10,000. As long as my travel spending remains frugal, I will always stay above 10K and will never have to repeat that experience. >>2890936IDK what the point of walking around random towns in east-central America is. You're just wasting gas money taking long drives every weekend to trudge around lame places like Hopkinsville, Russelville, Scottsville and Tompkinsville. And no, OP shouldn't stay in fucking New Jersey. Get a hostel in NYC instead.
>>2891015By walkable, I was thinking NYC, Boston, SF, Seattle lol And NJ is cheaper, sorry bro, I did that, and I had fun

If my account ever dips below $5k, I'm flying back to the US and working. If I don't like the city I choose then I'm going demon mode to get out ASAP
