Move to New York City

I move on Monday 5/19. I am packing little things but will come back for my furniture and extras later in the year. The main goal is to be up there and put into jobs just to get some income flowing. After that it will be time to look for a job with benefits so I can afford rent. I am going to miss being home but I have to break outta here and make something of myself or as I like to say start living again!

I am wanting to move to NYC. I have been going there for the past 30 years and it holds a lot for me career wise and passion wise. Does anyone have tips on how to prep to move to NYC? I have to make a time table, hoard lots of cash and get rid of stuff. Anyone already doing that and can offer advice?

*I have a place to live up there already I just need the job and the money to make it.
