my fav cousin
im gunna try to move in with my favorite cousin (we're seriously best friends) after high school. but i really dont know if ill find a job where she lives (another state). i have alot of money saved up from the job that i have now. should i ask my cousin to turn in job applications for me or something? i dunno if that would work though because we're gunna buy a new house together (we don't know which one).
also is it hard to do what my cousin and i wanna do, which is buy a house together? what kind of stuff do we need to get besides furniture?
thank ya kindly.

To find a job, you should turn in applications. But you will have a huge advantage if you turn in a cover letter and a resume. Cover letters say basically, I want this job because... and I have these qualities... and I would like to work here. Put contact information on the cover letter on the top. A resume tells about past jobs, more qualities you have, and things like that. Use a list, not sentances for the resume. Hope I helped!

OK, moving in with your cousin is great. But don't buy a house together. You need to see what a huge deal that is. A typical mortgage is 30 years! I am sure you won't wanna live there forever! That doesn't mean you're stuck there forever, but it's a tremendous hassle to sell a house and a lot of times you have to live in it for years to be able to get enough equity to benefit from the sale. It isn't easy to get a mortgage, either.
Get an apartment, townhouse, or rent a house. You're only obligated for a year at a time on a lease. You don't have to take full responsibility for the property (if the roof leaks, the landlord fixed it, you don't have to cut the grass...).
Try looking online for jobs. Lots of places will let you apply online, or they let you fax or email a resume or application. It wouldn't hurt to ask your cousin to turn in a few applications. The state's local newspaper most likely has a website and that's the best place to look for a local job.
You are gonna need a lot to move in together. Furniture, pots and pans, utensils, cleaning supplies, a couple of tools (hammer, screwdriver...), towels, appliances (if they don't already have them there, shower curtain...I could go on forever!
Go to garage sales and thrift stores. You will be shocked at what you can find in a thrift store, and it's cheap. It will get you by until you can buy a new one. The dollar store is great for all of those little things like measuring cups and utensils, things like that.
Best of luck to you and your cousin!
