      I’ve had the last year to work it out.

      $3k for the first month and deposit on a place in Brooklyn I already have planned, and $1200 for the drive up (I need a U-Haul to move stuff). This includes my calculations for how much gas I would need and food I would eat on the trip up.

      It’s a 16 -20 hour drive, and I plan to do it all in one shot.

        It might be worth it to sell or donate a lot of stuff and buy it after you move. You can ship books through media mail. If you can get rid of enough and ship other stuff, then you could possibly avoid having to rent a truck.
