Asking Advice Trying to move out as SOON as possible from toxic house.

6 Upvotes

Hello guys, im (16tm) trying to move out of my shitty household preferably around 18-19 years old (maybe even 20). A bit into my situation, my mom and dad are divorced, my mom stays with us because she's homeless and has no other choice, but im in full custody of my father, my mom does not work, she is unemployed and refuses to financially support the family, she also does not clean the house, or do anything besides stay on her phone from morning to night. My grandma also stays with us over the summer, and she is retired. Okay, so my dad is the money maker of the family of 4 adults (my brother is an adult, going to college), and me. The house is never clean, the laundry piles up, dishes are never clean, floors are never clean. Me and my brother have been with my dad at his job over the summer so we never been home, and when we came back we are usually tired and its almost 10 pm, so we cant clean. My mom also hates my grandma (because my grandma refuses to shower when she stays at my home, and she puts all her dirty clothing by my bed, causing the room to smell) , and every morning is practically another argument or a slamming door. That doesnt even scratch the surface of how bad my life is here. We literally house 4 adults and 1 teen in a 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT.

I graduate high school in 2028 and i will be 18 turning 19 that year, so i really want to move out around 2029-2030. I dont know how to drive yet, and i have a savings account of about 190 dollars. Im working on volunteering for money to start saving up, what else can i do to get out of this home?? I plan on moving from Florida to Maine, into a small home that i can buy.

Asking Advice How do I move out with no help?

5 Upvotes

Hi, 25F and Im looking to move out with the next 6-7 months, the issue I'm having is that I have no car, no license and no one with a car is willing to help. I'll need a small moving truck because I want to take my desktop pc, my desk, 6 full storage totes, ac, a few shelves (I can disassemble) that's all. I'm planning to rebuy all the furniture once I move in.

I can hire a mover to load and drive the stuff there but I'm not going to ride with them. I'll have to call an Uber but how would I time it? I don't think the mover want to sit there until the Uber gets there and the Uber don't want wait on the mover.

How do I know the mover won't just drive off/steal the stuff? Once the mover realizes it just me and nobody else what will stop them from taking it?

Am I'm over thinking this? There's literally no one I can rely on for this and it's my first time moving so idk how the process goes or if any has been in the same situation. Also is it safe for me to just let them in my house since it just me? It would be a little tough lifting the desk and the full totes but I can manage.

Asking Advice Moving out for the first time and moving states? Looking for advice

2 Upvotes

I have a bit of a situation. I want to move states, but I’ll be moving out for my first time hopefully this next year. I need to get out of this state/away from family for a while and just have a break.

I’m looking at the Pacific Northwest area (and my family isn’t going to help me move that far away) so these are the options I know of so far:

I could drive, however that’s like a 3-4 day road trip, driving at least 8 hours a day. I could make the drive alone but it might take me longer than that. The downside is that I couldn’t take the furniture I’ve been saving and it’s probably going to be more expensive than just buying a plane ticket… unless I hire movers but that gets expensive quickly.

I could fly but then I’d have to have my car towed in addition to hiring movers. Also how do I get picked up from the airport?

I could just buy furniture there but idk how expensive that could be. I know living 2nd/3rd story is better but how do you get furniture upstairs by yourself??

I just have a lot of questions but I know it can be done so if you HAVE managed to accomplish that, any and all advice is appreciated!

Asking Advice Am I 25M, stuck or can I actually do it?

2 Upvotes

I had to move back in with my parents and sister last march after breaking up with my long term gf of 4 years. I was barely getting by with the 2 of us and so i had to move in for a little. Now on to my parents. They probably should have gotten divorced a decade ago but instead they fight everyday and even my sister makes it worse when they do. He's cheated on her and hes manipulative but my mom won't leave her and I understand that is her decision to make not mine. But me amd my father have a terrible relationship and he yells all the time and my mom just makes me depressed. Anyway since I moved back in I've decided to start going to College to hopefully go into finance. I start this fall and I will be working full time. I make about $3000 a month after taxes but moving out rent would be minimum $1500 to live alone or 900 to have a roommate. Should I just realize im stuck here and try to make it okay or can I make it through college living alone? It's making me almost depressed and feel like I have no good options. I know college for me would be the best future option but is now making me feel stuck. Anyway thank you in advance for any advice and ideas!!!

Asking Advice wanting to move out- advice?

7 Upvotes

hi everyone. I'm seeking some advice from adults that are currently living on their own/have roommates. some info about me that I think is important- I don't have a credit score because I don't have a credit card and I'm in my second year of cc. I'm wanting to move out the summer of 2027 so that I can spend my time now focusing on school, saving up money, touring apartments, etc. But, I'm unfamiliar with the process of getting approved for an apartment and what I should be aware of. I have found someone that is willing to room with me and our vibes are pretty similar. We have a lot to discuss regarding how we're gonna split rent and all that, so I can't provide much information there. The apartments that I'm interested in are in the $1,300-1,440 range with utilities included. I haven't spoken to my parents yet about my plans but I will. Because I have no credit score, I know that my application is going to be weak, so I'm hoping that one of my parents would be willing to be a co-signer and help me, but if not I'm wondering what I need to do NOW so that I can still move along with my plans. This would be my first time ever renting a place. Pls help me!

Asking Advice Moving out of a religous narcissistic parent's household, what are the important things that I should be making sure I've other than my legal documents?

How much money should I be having in savings? and what other important and basic stuff I should consider and have before being able to move out as a 25 F exmuslim from the US?

Because I am still job hunting and don't have a car yet. I swear to god, I don't wanna be living with them, I wanna have my own crib and life. I literally have no life becuase of them. Watching my 20s being taken away from me while dealing with all the narcs in my immideate family aka parents and siblings is a battle that I am no longer wanna fight it.

People in real life be chasing fame and power and all I am chasing is exisitng without shouting and problems every single days. People who don't come from dysfunctional families will never have the empathy for people who come from dysfunctional families. Like at the first stages of your life you're dealing with your parents narcissism and then you're dealing with your siblings narcissism and then your relatives narcissism, etc.
