                    You quit your job, cancel your lease, and live on the streets in downtown NY. Do it. Show us all how easy it is to do.

                    When you do, come back and reply, and I’ll give you the upvotes you deserve.

                    And go … where? With no income lined up. Must be nice to have the financial stability to just do an interstate move on a whim.
