I am 26 years old. I make 25,000 a year and have 13,000 in savings. I have no debt. Expenses run 1,000 a month (mostly room and board)
I want to apply to an unpaid (room and board offered) internship summer 2015 which is 5 months and 1,200 miles away (with no promise of securing a job with the company)
One of the requirements is to have health insurance which I have with my current employer but I would lose when I quit. So that would be an additional expense.
Is that an unwise thing to do?
Should I find an extra job before then to tie me over?
