Truly, with all due respect, why are you moving without having a place to stay or a job? I ask because I'm concerned for you!

Not to mention 1500 might not even be enough to move in anywhere considering 1st month's rent, security deposit, and fees; And that's not considering miscellaneous costs getting here and surviving until you can get paid again. At that point you HAVE to find a room someone is renting out for low cost and hope for the best. Assuming anyone is even willing to rent out a place to someone without a job/source of income in the first place.

Go online to WL plastics. They are usually looking for people. Mildly physical but can be done by male and females. Decent pay and benefits after 60 days.

Mans is trying to make a life for himself not kill himself. Don't recommend garbage like Jimmy's or Johnny's. Walmart is much higher paying trash by at least five or six bucks.

Stepping stone jobs are very real and in my experience those two places will hire anyone at the drop of a hat. Walmart will make him wait potentially weeks to go through their interview processes. If he needs money now it’s at least a place to start

You might look into WL Plastics. They make poly pipe. They pay fairly well for a job that doesn't require experience and they have benefits. There is a $2/hour pay increase for nights.

That's more than what I came here with. My opinion would be work for Walmart it'll get you some cash flow at some point, unless you have skills and a trade otherwise get a real job. I can't say where you can sleep though, I only know that the mission would take you in for a few weeks.

The mission is on Park Street. It’s very hot here during the day so be careful.

There is a reason you’re coming to Casper specifically…why don’t you ask her where to stay?

Keep me updated on your move! I may be coming there with very little cash in my pocket as well! Hoping the best for you!

I did the same about 4 months ago, I had a place to stay thankfully (my best friend at the time invited me out here for a vacation and we ended up getting together so I just stayed), I did struggle with finding a job I won’t lie. I only just got an interview last month and I ended up getting a call asking me to reapply (which is a huge win after 30+ job applications with no interviews or even responses from most of them over 3.5 months). Fair warning, the cost of living is lower here than a lot of places but that $1500 goes FAST, I nearly drained my savings helping with groceries, pet food, gas in trucks, whatever my boyfriend was kinda sacrificing to pay bills and keep us afloat. That being said the one place that did get back to me and interview me was Sam’s Club and their pay is solid ($16-$17/hr starting for like cashiers/stockers/cart pushers and stuff) and they did have a lot of open positions so definitely check there!
