    Hey girly, New subbie here.
    Great video! I'm from MS, I moved to TX in 2021 & just recently moved back to MS in August due to personal things. Sometimes you just got to do what's best for you! I'll be moving back to TX in January & I can honestly say my time here in MS has opened my eyes and helped me come up with a better plan as far as what i want to do when i get back to Texas. Dfw is beautiful and there are so many opportunities. I'll be attending Nursing school once I get back & I'm so happy about it. Single mommy of two & It wasn't easy but the motivation that comes from knowing who you're doing it for is amazing. I pray things continue to work out for you & your little one. Keep making the great content! :)

    Question, did you get approved without providing proof of employment? Did you have a co signer? Everywhere I look it says you have to have proof of employment or they won’t approve you. Thanks for any feedback.

      Hey, so both times I moved from out of state I was able to use my current (out of state check stubs) if that makes sense. So if you have a job now you still can show that income in a new state OR most apartments accept job offer letters as well..hope that helps

      @KimberlyHayes-b8z 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think you need a little more than 5k. It’s expensive in Dallas, keep that in mind. Houston is a little cheaper, but they don’t pay as well as Dallas.

      Hey! I was waiting to see this comment, I am a special need mom of 2 special need babies. My son is more complexed than my daughter but I am planning to move to Dallas TX by September next year. I am terrified for your exact reasons but if it makes you on edge, research their hospitals as they do offer complex specialists so that eased my mind and worry just a bit. But if you want, we could connect and be each other’s support system with the move, that’s only if you want.

Whether it’s a night life area or more family oriented, etc. plus they’re free and set the tours up for you so they’re definitely worth it because they know all about the areas

    I am living in Florida, but I am so tired of living in Florida. I am so tired of seeing the same people everyday. I just want to move to Hollywood California. I don't know if it's just a sign from God or what but I am tired of Florida. I'm ready to go to California. I have no kids anyway. But before I move there I will visit it first. I want to start my own business in Hollywood California.

      @@LifeWithTerraneka I might as well go for it. I got two jobs. I work at a school and when school is out my second job is a school too they have me only part-time and my other job the paycheck stops and that's my primary job. I locked up $10,000 in my CD account so I can't touch that. I pay my bus fare everyday to get on the bus today I asked the driver that I didn't have money because I am only working part-time and they didn't pay me yet can I get a free ride and he said no. I walked off the bus cried and walked all the way to work in the hot sun and I cried the whole time I was walking. If I am struggling now I might as well move to Hollywood California and start my own business. I am so small. I don't even have enough money to even eat. I used to be 125 pounds and now I am 93 pounds . I am 38. The kids at my job are 10 years old and they are bigger than me. My job would not even pay during the summer when school is out. I am just going to move to California to become a filmmaker and screenwriter because my job is not helping me. I have lost weight because I can't even eat. A 38 year old should not be that small. I am going to have filmmakers teach me how to make a movie and hire a professional screenwriter to fix my grammar and punctuation on my script.
