I'm a 25 year old woman and by the end of this year Im planning on moving to an affordable state where living is not expensive. I'm currently in California and I will be working in the field of phlebotomy(drawing blood) pretty soon. Just waiting for my license...

I only have Daca and not sure if I will be able to get my own apt without help or co-signer. Also I want to move out of California, it's too expensive. I want to be on my own and planning on saving a lot this year...any suggestions of good states and life on your own with Daca?!?

You shouldn't have a problem getting an apartment since they only check your credit. Best of luck!

I moved out of So. Cal last year. I now reside in Las Vegas NV. Cost of living here is cheap, by this I mean rent or buying a house. Another good factor is there are no state income taxes. So I only get federal, Medicaid, and SS taxes. Based on my experience, I'd recommend choosing a state with no state taxes and if you have family and want to visit choose something close because traveling to visit family can get expensive. For example, if you are from northern cali. maybe Washington state is a good move. if you are from so cal. vegas is just 4 hrs. drive. on the other hand, you can move to florida and have to take a 5-7 hr flight each time you want to visit. Feel free to IM me if you have further questions. I hope this helps.
