If you plan to depart the NE this summer, I would take a Northern route ending in the PNW. You can then swing South as temperatures drop and Winter approaches. Check out some of the cheap campgrounds online indexes. There will be places to park without fees or a very low price.
Gas will be your #1 cost and it's possible to park for a few days, get some temporary employment, and refill the gas budget jar. I would advise to take things slow and look around for a place that appeals to you enroute. Making a bee line for CA and arriving with no resources is going to be a big let down, IMO. CA is high priced and filled with homeless folks that are not treated well. I don't know the employment situation in CA but I do know that some places have immediate need for workers. As was mentioned, Western ND is looking for workers.
I would imagine that living homeless is pushing you towards a life with some stability. If that's not the case and you wish to keep exploring, hats off to you, everyone that's young should take off without a destination and see what's over the next hill. If stability is a pressing factor, look at small town USA while you're traveling. Big cities and especially the West Coast are going to be a hard place to make that happen.
Good luck to you and happy travels!
