California

Thought it best to start recording my progress on this, in many ways, which might spur my brain on to move a little more quickly/do more to make sure that my emmigration to the USA actually happens, and that it happens as smoothly as possible. Gotta do whatever you can to make your dreams come true. But gotta make sure you're happy in the meantime.



So here's my cost breakdown:

Visas: £1000
Flight: £550
Deposit on studio appartment: £900
Two months rent: £1800
Spare cash: £1000
Total: £5,250

Aim for £5, 500 by October 2013.

Current Progress: £1, 760 (32%)
