      $5K in two months is a savings rate of $2,500/mo. That means post-tax earnings of $30K per year plus any costs on top of that. I don't think that that sounds very realistic. That is a ton of money to stash, even with housing being free, in such a short period of time. Even if you can live on $500/mo total expenses, that's $3K per month so $36K income. Taxes would take that above $40K, maybe even $45K of total income. A steady $45K job will be tough to wrangle that quickly and there is no time for it not to be full time. And $500/mo to live on is tough as it is.

      I'm aiming high but I want to get 3-4K if I can. I need enough to get me into an apartment in Dallas and have enough capital to get started.

        weren't you just in LA?

        You are thinking of San Diego.

        LOL I was thinking Cali in general... but yeah.. Was west coast last week, and now east coast this week. Are you being paid to travel at this point?

          I wish...I owe @Nick42 a huge debt of gratitude for this one...

            Making plans for @ryanov to come hang out with us in Nicaragua next week. His flights are booked.

            Are you putting out an open invite for people to visit you?

            People are always welcome to come visit us. @ryanov came out to Spain too.

            Traveling is one of my favorite things to do... I'd love to do it... though I won't have any extra vacation until 2017 now, Taking 3 weeks for Europe next summer.. that pretty much eats it all up.

                More like roof hunting. Vegas turned out to be a bomb that blew up in my face. So I'm going to Atlanta because I have a place there to crash for two months.

                  I keep telling him! @dominica agrees too, that the Crazy AJ's idea is a good one.

                    I'll even toss $100 or 2 at you if you go.. as seed money - no payback required.

                      @thanksajdotcom Sweet! If you need to get out of ATL for a day, let me know. I'm a couple hours south of you... as is @RojoLoco too, I think.

                            I work in Alpharetta (north of ATL) and I live out in Gwinnett (East of ATL). Both spots are within 30-40 min of downtown. What part of town are you in?

                                          But seriously, I think that the community could put together a business model that works.
