Family and friends are a part of affordability. They can provide housing, food, childcare.
Also, how long do you expect it would take to find a job in a new place? You'd need to cover living expenses until your first paycheck, which is an extra 2 weeks after you've successfully found a job.
- londons_explore 7y agoThe kind of job that people new-in-town-with-no-money get typically pay cash. Being a cleaner for example, garden work, etc. That sort of job you can knock on doors and get there and then, and be paid for 3-4 hours each time. You can probably earn enough to pay for food in the first week (while sleeping under a bridge), and food and a hostel the 2nd week. Proper housing is far harder to get, because it typically requires a big deposit and proof of employment.
