Want to move from PA to VT

Hello, first time here. I’m a 22 year-old guy from eastern Pennsylvania looking to start a new life in Vermont and escape the rise of MAGA stupidity in my home state. I am totally lost and miserable with myself as I’m writing this and desperately need to find happiness again. I have visited Vermont on 2 separate occasions (around the Brattleboro area) and loved it both times and after looking into the state quite much over the past few years, it sounds like a good place for me to relocate to, as I would still be a short drive away from my current home and would still be able to visit family once every few months or so. I’m not currently attending college and am working full time at a warehouse making about $40k a year. So I know finding a place up here would be difficult, but I’m hoping there’s at least something reasonable waiting for me. Though I’d almost certainly try to find a friend who’d be willing to do the same as me to make it more affordable for both of us. What would the best options with my current salary?
