When I broke up with my ex I packed what I could fit in my car and moved a few states away to live on my own for the first time in a new city. I had a couple thousand dollars and got a hotel when I arrived and started looking for a job and an apartment.

The apartment I could afford was a terrible roach nest with no heat and my furniture consisted of an air bed and a lawn chair for about a year. I ate ramen and had no heat in the winter. Eventually I got a raise and in February this year I moved in to a much nicer place in an awesome town. I could have moved back in with my parents first but at 27 (now 28) that's not really where I wanted to be. And it's amazing how much you appreciate everything you have after you live like Charlie and Frank for a year.
