I could really use some help, a little boost if this is at all possible from anyone. Living in Naples, FL and have an opportunity to cut my expenses with a move and an amazing job offer during COVID times, but just need help GETTING there. That first and last month would be so beneficial and have no one to ask.

Grew up in a highly insular community, very mentally abusive religion and have been shunned by almost everyone I’ve ever known, including most of family and my (now-ex)wife and her family. The only family I have that isn’t JW’s is my biological mom I didn’t grow up with, who’s not very well off, and 3 younger half-sisters. Spent the last few years recovering from the divorce, learning about the real world and went from working at a restaurant in Tampa as the only job I could get, to learning appliance repair from YouTube until i can afford to go back to school. Got a job at a company in Naples that was supposed to train you and learned a lot, earned more money but also saw through a lot of false promises and my cost of living went way up. Too high. I also have been ubering at night this entire time but I can’t do that during the move. Taught myself more on the side and now have a job opportunity in Salt Lake City, where rent is about 800 on average, and I’ll get a 50 percent raise. Plus they’re offering a bit of a lease payoff. Not the whole thing, but to help with it. I’m willing to shoulder the rest of the responsibility of the rent if it’s due because the new position is that much better, plus a company vehicle for use during my work.

If I can get help with the payment on a first and last month on a new place, it will give me a month to catch up on sleep, make the move a success, ACCEPT the job(the offer letter/drug test results/employees review is still in my inbox) and finally get my income/expense ratio to a point that I can pay my things off. I know I need an emergency fund but every time I start to build one, it slowly gets drained. Earning this much more can be the difference to financial independence for me, I just want someone to help me do it with a bit more confidence. If I have a studio apartment waiting for me there, I can totally do this. Let me know if anyone can help.
