Even with zero expenses, $300 is gonna be a tough stretch just to pay for gas and lunch to get to the new job until that first check comes in, which some places pay out the previous pay period so could be 3/4 weeks until check comes in

Being able to move vs being able to afford a luxury penthouse are 2 very different goals.
As for moving, just don't aquire a bunch of useless shit over the next few years. Just the essentials. Cheap furniture to serve the purpose and can part with when its time to move. So much easier to move without having to haul tables, beds, couches, and junk across the country. Get a buddy to drive your car (buy food, hotel, and a flight home for them, and a massive IOU) and you drive a uhaul. You can get this done easy with a few grand.
As for a luxury penthouse, youre talking about a 10,000 a month expense.... Even if you let yourself spend 30% of income on rent (which is the highest anyone recommends), you need 35k coming in every month, $420,000 a year. No way you can pull that off while in med school unless you are just insanely lucky and a vampire who doesnt need sleep lol. Lets bring expectations down to reality. Sure you could save every dime you make over the next few years and maybe have a nice little nest egg, but do you really want to blow that on trying to impress people who dont really care for a year or so? Id use that nest egg to pay for med school, launch a business, or be set up for retirement far sooner than trying to get a lease on a penthouse
Just publish what you have so you are at least out there, then continue to tweak and refine over time.
Worrying is like a rocking chair, gives you something to do but it doesn’t ever get you anywhere

Im still trying to figure out how to make regular friends lol
If it turns out the alcohol commission isn’t keen on giving people bottles. I’d look into a photobooth, I imagine that would be more profitable long term. No moving parts to service, no worry about legality, and there’s no “scam factor” to it. (A lot of people are convinced they are rigged regardless of if that’s actually true)
