Great advise from dylanrw. SF is an expensive place. Why not take a 6 months or a year to learn how to code somewhere cheap. Thailand is amazing. You can live in tropical paradise for a couple of grand a month, build an app, get some customers, then move to SF to take your business to the next level.

I've already done so much traveling, I don't know if that would help me. I mean, I basically live pretty cheap right now where I am. Depending on how well my investments do, I'm probably making 40k per year. I guess I could, I'm just worried I would go further down the spiral. I'm pretty worried about my life right now.
It's not just the traveling - it's the cheap living expenses while you build something.
