Wjere do youbl8ve? Craigslist is a good bet to find a rommmate. It so7nds like lame advice but its a good way to start without anything after ypu m9ve. I met two of my old room mates there when i moved

I've been looking on craigslist but there's a good number of weirdos looking for roommates. There's one guy who posts every week looking for a roommate but he's a nudist and mentions it in his ads. That's the type of fucked up shit in this area.

in US? Go to your local craigslist and look under rooms/shared. Some people rent out rooms after kids move out. Nice areas, and friendly people. IF you can look presentable and come up with 400-700/mo, you can get a room.

I've been looking on CL. See my comment below about the weirdo types of people looking for roommates in this area. There's something in the water.

You can team up with @Joe_McCarthy and move into his sucky fucky camp under a bridge somewheres.

Option 2: Go to Sandpoint, Idaho and move onto owen bejewin's beartardia land.

Option 3. Try and find a cheap van. Look on Facebook Marketplace and wherever else you can and hole up in it for a while until you can get back on track.

Option 4: Summertime is here. Buy a tent, set it up near a creek or river and camp out all summer.

Other than that, I'm sure your mom loves you and you may need to go suck it up buttercup and make up with her while gritting your teeth really hard just until you can get back on your feet. Good luck.

I used to live in Waukesha.

If you want to run out of Wisconsin, get your shit in order. Finding a job elsewhere today can certainly assist in finding somewhere to live.

Figure what state you want and see where you can be happy.

Turns out northern Georgia winters are three weeks of below freezing and measurable snow maybe once every four years. Summer humidity can be a bitch, though.

Milwaukee huh? My parents left behind a cabin on one of the many lakes up that way some hours north. If I didn’t have siblings who were adamant about that liability of a property (still in fucking probate btw), I’d welcome you to park a trailer on the edge of the property. Still, even if that option were viable, you’d need wheels to get into town for provisions.

What I’d like to realistically suggest is that you use this time to consider all of your options. And if you haven’t been supplementing magnesium, start now. Stress is cumulative. The conversion of cortisol back to the inactive form of cortisone requires magnesium which is an electrolyte almost void from the soil, water, and food supply. Agricultural scientists warned congress of the magnesium depletion 100 years ago. It is a fucked situation. I took 200mg of Magnesium Citrate last year and my mind calmed the fuck down immediately the following day - and stayed that way. I don’t deal with stress anymore.

Your mother is a cunt, but will she grant temporarily asylum in the garage, basement, or attic just long enough so that you can get your shit together?

The beautiful thing is: You can be ANYWHERE doing ANYTHING. And since you are facing rock bottom, you have every opportunity to make massive moves you’d otherwise be too afraid to take.

Can you stop paying your rent and dish out for a beater car? If you’re going to go van life, find a city or town you’d like to escape to and lookup job listings pertaining to your trade skill. There are many $100K per year random jobs that require only a college degree and experience in a corporate job setting. IE Analyst or Logistics Ordering person. Random roles one doesn’t even think about.

Hold strong. I had to give up everything and move back to the concrete jungle in my 20s. I lived in my mom’s unfinished attic. Surprisingly, none of the women I brought home ever complained about that attic. Absolutely hated it, but every single day, I was encouraged to get the fuck out. Now I live less than a mile away from farmland and can smell the corn crops on a cool summer night.

You might want to consider starting a GoFundMe. ( but a better site) as I think it would be cool if you got yourself a meth lab on wheels. I’m sure many of the fags on Voat would help you to get an old Winnebago. Then you’d be set.

[ - ] Scyber [op] 2 points 12 hoursMay 22, 2025 19:07:59 ago (+2/-0)*

Thanks for the advice. And my mom is headset on not having me move in. She offered to help pay a security deposit if I find a place. And I don't want to live with her either - She's almost 70 and has a nasty attitude plus she's a chain smoker - She smokes those Cheyenne mini-cigars and when I visited her on Mother's Day, her whole place smelled like cigarettes and got all over my clothes. I understand that's just a small thing to complain about, but I don't smoke cigs (420 sometimes) but her shitty attitude is what makes life hard for me. She's honestly my mortal enemy -I have NEVER had a good relationship with her because she's such an entitled cunt.
When her husband died (My abusive stepdad) she told me she stayed with him for 30 years and was glad she was able to get a condo and new car out of him while he was still alive. That's how bad she is.
I'm an o nly child and she STILL complains that I'll never give her grandkids. I can't form legitimate relationships with women because of all the abuse I was subjected to growing up It's ALL because of her.

Dress like a tranny and get diversity points. Think of it like wearing weights, makes you stronger if you survive the lack of dignity.

If she’s willing to put down a security deposit on a place, take that offer. Not sure if she’s using this as a power move to hold some form of control out of you, but beggars can’t be choosers. Never look a gift horse in the mouth, they say.

Would she put a down payment on a Winnebago? House on wheels. Or trailer. You wouldn’t need a storage unit as you could pack all your shit and get out of Dodge.

At her age and that amount of tobacco, might want to make sure she has a living trust or will. Because probate is a lot of work and you’ll have to be the administrator to her estate. Shit takes time, travel, and years. Not to mention attorney fees. Unfortunately, the more evil an old person is, the longer they seem to live - as if their will to survive is an act of spite toward others.

What do you do for a living? Without Doxxing yourself, if you can talk about your trade skill openly, on of the other Voat users might have some valuable insight. Are you too old to enlist on the military? It would buy you money and time.

Reminder that you can always move to a cheap small town and work any unskilled labor position. Servers and bartenders can make bank on tips working long hours.

I'm a CNC machinist. I pretty much make enough to pay my bills and eat & have little to save.

You're absolutely correct about evil people living longer out of spite - My mother is extremely spiteful at 69 years old and doesn't look like she's slowing down even though she smokes a pack of mini-cigars every day. Yet she told me she got 4 covid shots during the lockdowns so I'm praying her cunt-ass dies soon because I'm sick and tired of dealing with her entitled attitude and belittling me. My father died in 1985 and my uncle (brother of my dad) said he committed suicide in order to get away from my mom. I don't know if it's true but as I get older and realize how mentally unstable my mom is, I wouldn't doubt it.
And that's another thing that has seriously fucked me up - Not having my biological father be there for me - Instead I've had abusive "makeshift" "fathers" who were drunks and physically beat me when I wasn't dumped off at an unregistered baby sitter's house while my mom went to work and didn't pick me up for 3 days.
That's how fucked up I am.

When I was 25, landed a gig as a caretaker for a couple that was older, took care of their animals and dogs, did odd jobs on the weekends. No rent, they paid me 50 bucks a week and covered my food expenses (grocery receipts). Those gigs are out there, need to start fresh

When it comes to 1-bedroom apartments, the average rent in [my town], CA, is $3,632. - rent.com

Be encouraged by how much cheaper rent is there.

But maybe it's time to move somewhere else? The rooming house sounds bad too, but if that's what will let you get a car/van and move to a decent city/region/state, might be worth sticking out.

The great thing about your situation is it's an opportunity to rethink your whole "what you'll do when you grow up" plan. First thing is to reduce your stress level. People make terrible decisions when they're on the verge of having a full on psychotic breakdown. Take your magnesium, reduce your stress level, then think about what you'd really like to be doing.

[ - ] Crackinjokes 2 points 12 hoursMay 22, 2025 19:34:20 ago (+2/-0)

Buy a van and do the van life. It has many advantages over renting a s*** box that stuck to the land.

You'll save a ton of money in Van life if you get a job because you won't have rent to pay you also won't have all those mandatory utilities hooked up. All that stuff adds up. There are plenty of places to park for free truck stops rest areas most shopping centers. All you need is a cell phone plan

Plus you can go where the jobs are and you don't have to have a commute. If you get a job somewhere you can find a shopping center within a mile up there to park most of the time. People talking about you getting harassed or way overblown. That only happens if you're parking in neighborhoods and stuff. If you park between stores overnight in most shopping centers most people won't know whether or not you're with the adjacent store and you're just not going to have a problem.

Get a planet fitness membership and you can take a shower anytime you want and get a little workout in so it'll be good for you.

I've had several friends who've done this one paid off all his student loans within a year and he lived in a nice Dodge I forget what it was called like a trooper van or something from around the 1980s '90s I guess.

Trust me this is a good movie even if you're not broke. It's a good way to save money.

So proud we raised our kids,they didn't raise us.
This behavior would never be allowed muchless tolerated.
My kids barely had a dorm in school,nothing close to apt/communal living.
That whole nigger lifestyle thing isn't to be for white people as we are here.
Clearly Op made choices AGAIN.
Mom/dad ain't playing anymore like they said.

Doesn't seem like you have anyone to impress the shared housing is what I would go for. You can cut your over head in half, save up for a truck.

If your job is giving you anxiety about long term employment work on finding another one.

You're not seeing the positives that are right in front of you.

If you get a truck and know where to dump shit you can make money anywhere you see a mess at business.

i honestly dont know what to say in your situation. i asked AI for you and ....


Immediate Crisis Management
1. Housing Crisis
The top priority is finding a stable place to stay before June 1. Even a less-than-ideal rooming house is better than being homeless. It buys time.

Shelters or transitional housing programs might also be worth contacting. They often help people in eviction or housing crisis situations.

Consider contacting:

Community Advocates Milwaukee (they help with housing, energy assistance, and crisis support).

211 Wisconsin – just dial 2-1-1 or go to 211wisconsin.org for local resources.

Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee – if there's any possibility to challenge the eviction or seek more time.

2. Storage + Planning
If staying put and risking sheriff eviction is on the table, then putting belongings into a storage unit can prevent loss of property and buy some flexibility.

Coordinate that early so it’s not a panic decision at the end.

3. Mental Health
The person clearly mentions being at a breaking point mentally. They need to speak to a professional.

In Milwaukee, there are free or sliding-scale counseling services, like:

Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Services

Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers

IMPACT 211 can help find a crisis counselor or therapist.

4. Employment + Income
Without a car or guaranteed job, it's time to explore:

Remote work opportunities – customer service, virtual assistant, transcription, etc.

Short-term gigs – temp work, warehouse jobs, food delivery (bike options if no car).

Longer-Term Considerations
A. Relocating Out of State
If they truly hate Milwaukee and want to start over, relocation may be viable — but not without some plan or support network in place.

They should not wait until eviction happens. Use the time now to network, look at job boards in other states, and explore relocation assistance programs. Some cities or states offer incentives or help for relocating job seekers.



TL;DR for them:
Move into the rooming house for now. Put your stuff in storage if needed. Get mental health help immediately. Contact local agencies for housing and legal aid. Start working on an exit plan from Milwaukee if that’s what you want — but survive first.

Let me know if you want help drafting a reply to them that says this more tactfully.

lol 2-1-1 hahahahahahaha

uh we cant help you

uh that's not what we do

even homeless shelters holy shit if you're normal back of the line. also need car to get the fuck away from there during the day.so that parts moot. I'd go live with the spics.

@scyber make sure to see if you cant get that eviction taken off because it stays on for a year and its a bitch to get a place with one on there. If you're going to wait it till the sheriffs come anyways out use that money to get a quick car. Is your mom the type to "have to send the deposit directly to the apartment" or can you lie and she'll send the "deposit" to you??

Just a few weeks ago there was a post right here on upgoat about an area in the northern part of Arkansas. This article was practicly Begging White people to move there!
Crap man! I'm in a pretty good part of the country and I was really considering making the move just to get away from the few niggers and the wetbacks that are shitting up my area!
If I woke up tomorrow morning and found myself in your position I wouldn't think twice. I would hop on a bus and get my ass to that part of Arkansas or smack dab in the middle of West Virginia. Once you're there you go straight to some churches and tell them your troubles. They will gladly help you get on your feet. You might have to spend a few nights "camping out under the stars" but this is the Perfect time of year for that.
Now I say this while assuming you are White and straight. If you're a stinking nigger faggot it won't work out so well for you. LOL.

This is Not a bad thing that is happening to you. This is Your chance! Get Out of That Godless Pit and Get Yourself a Better Life!

I didn’t read any of that, so I’m just going to intuitively give you the advice you need:

This is a very not ideal situation.

Thinking outsode the box for you...

1. Can you get a job as a corporate night security guard for an office building. The job is literally just to let the fire dept in and insurance. I onew people who did it as a 2nd job and just slept there.

2. Have you talked to the owner / director of your company... Not in a pity me way, but in a "heads up i might be ratty at work for a bit because x y z"... They might own property, and might give you a good deal as a. Its their own money your paying with, and b. Youre more likely to hang around. (This obviously isnt moving state)

3. Go nomad - but that is also not without its stress.

4. Go stig of the dump -
(buy some tarp and cammo netting amd pretend you're in the sas in some weird random bit of scrubland) because fuck it...its summer...will still need a vehicle but can make do with a much smaller one as its only used for transport and secure storage

5. Squat.
I know its more sketchy in us and has a bad rap, but you can squat without being a cunt

6. Look for guardian tenancy (which is basically squatting with permission to stop squaters) - there rents are cheap, but they are relatively unsecure, because its never going to be permanent... Tho you may be there for years...and likely you get loads of space, but its strange cos its corporate.

Had a friend who did it...she lived in the same place for about 5 years, paid fuck all rent...and had an entire half floor of a big office block thing as her "space"

7. Kill your mother and assume her identity like in the hitchcock film psychho

I am just writing to let you know that I empathize with you greatly. These past few years have been hell on wheels. I can say turning much deeper into my faith has helped keep the "nervous breakdown" symptoms at bay, but you are not alone. Many of my peers (I'm 44, widowed, two kids) are at their wits end.

We live in a land of abundance, and we starve for all manner of consideration from those around us. But one foot in front of the other is sometimes all we can do. And you will get to a solution. It's the not knowing that drives us to mania.
