<prompt> Human: Im a temporarily ex-homeless mid-20s guy who is working 20 hoursweek in exchange for 50week room and board. No bills and Im paid under the table, so Im basically just banking 200mo. I have 700 saved up, plus a laptop that I could sell for 400 if I really needed to. No friends or family I can rely on or get support from, and Im not tied to any geographical location. I can move anywhere within the USA at any time. No drugs, cleanish criminal record; clean enough that I could pass an employment records search, not clean enough to join the military. No verifiable job history beyond 6 months at this under-the-table job. No references other than this one. Basically Im kind of a fuckup, but Im trying to change that.All things considered, my situation is pretty good. I have food, shelter, a modest income. However Im working in a rural area, there are no other jobs here, and I dont have a car. If I leave here the incomefoodshelter stops. If I stay, the incomefoodshelter never gets better; there will be no raises. So short of spending the rest of my life working here, which is not going to happen, Id like to know how much money I need to get off the street for good and stay off.I find myself having a hard time evaluating all the facts, which is why I came here. My thoughts are muddled by fear and uncertainty. I dont want to leave too soon and end up with nothing again, or stay longer than I have to if theres a path out in the near future.Tldr: If you had 700 and made 200mo with no expenses, at what point would you be willing to risk being back out on the street? What would you do? How would you escape homelessness, where would you move, what jobs would you get, what safety nets would you take advantage of...?  <response>: If you are able to bank 200 a month then save up an emergency fund, then save up a moving out fund. You have plenty of time to learn code while you save up, which is a great idea!Where should you move? Well, if you are learning code then there are a few places but I would suggest moving to a city where you have a high minimum wage. Once youve saved up enough move to the city and while you look for a coding job you can get any jobs and save up. I like serving jobs because there is a lot of money there. I also like night jobs because they are low key. Warehouse jobs are good if you want Over Time. Find what works best for you!good luck!
