And no, I don't want to get into why. If you don't understand, be happy you have a healthy brain.
Do you want to live in a squat? If so, New Orleans is the place for young punks to squat right now. Or you could become a pot trimmer in Bakersfield, CA and live in a yurt with some other alternative folks. Or you could buy a cheap van and start a travel blog for ad revenue like every other jerkoff right now.
What living conditions do you want? Bum jungle, squat, wilderness camping? Do you want to work or are you cool with flying a sign? If you go to New Orleans or another big city other punks can tell you about traveling job opportunities like the popular beet harvest out west, or you could do medical research studies. I have known some folks that primarily earn income that way. Gainesville is super cheap and lots of ways to make money, including pedicab driving.
I would concentrate on moving to a cool city with cheap cost of living so you can focus on getting back on your feet, rather than getting stuck in a rut and losing motivation. I have only spent a day in Key West but it seems like a lazy ****hole with nothing but food service and other tourism jobs for an economy. The world is full of possibilities. Live to the fullest! At least you aren't stuck in a crappy 9-5 with crippling debt. Good luck!
