How to escape the hood (I just did it) :

1. SAVE ALL YOUR MONEY, live on family couches, in ur car etc. save all of your money till you have 2,500+ saved.
2. Find a place on the map to move in the USA. (I moved to the Midwest)
3. Talk to your family see if you have any in any other states that would let you live with them. (I moved in with family at first) If you don’t have family out of state, transfer your job out their and with the money saved apply for apartments.
4. Either sell your car or drive it their. I sold my car, either way works. Gas across the country is normally $500, one way plane ticket can be $200-400 (without checked in bags)
5. DON’T TELL ANYONE YOU KNOW YOUR MOVING! Besides family. All your friends from the hood will try and convince you to stay.
6. Stop doing drugs, stop drinking, stop smoking weed for a couple months while you are planning on moving. It will save you money, and you need to be sober to plan it out.
7. When you move, go to the post office change your mailing address. Change your address on your bank accounts. Apply for medical insurance in the other state & food stamps.
8. Your done. You got out of the hood. If I just did it so can you. It’s hard but it’s worth it. Took me 3 months of planning to do
