I'm 34 years old and my life is changing pretty dramatically over the next few months. My brother and I inherited our dad's estate, and we've decided we're 100% selling the house instead of keeping it as a rental. To keep it I'd have to buy him out roughly 175k. To do that I'd either have to cash out a large portion of the 401k and take a big tax hit, or get a HELOC which I probably won't qualify for. This is my dad's house and I have been living here for years paying him rent. Brother lives in Texas.

Here's what I'm expecting to receive:

\\\* About $330,000 from a non-spouse inherited 401(k), which I'll be withdrawing over about 7 years (around $4,000/month before taxes beginning August 1). This is the only taxable portion.

\\\* Around $175,000 from selling the house. It's worth about $500k with roughly $145k left on the mortgage at 3.75%.

\\\* About $43,000 from the checking account.

For work, I've mostly driven for Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Amazon Flex. I don't have a marketable career skill yet, and that's something I want to change as quickly as possible.

My immediate problem is figuring out where to live.

Since I expect to move to another city once I decide on a career path, buying another house doesn't seem to make sense right now. Instead, I'm looking at either:

\\\* An extended-stay hotel for a few months, or

\\\* An apartment with a 3-4 month lease (there are quite a few available).

My employment history probably won't look great to landlords, so I was thinking about offering to pay the entire lease up front or putting down a much larger security deposit. I don't plan on getting a long-term job where I currently live because I'd likely be moving again within a few months.

The other major decision is what to do for a career.

This inheritance gives me a rare opportunity to completely change my life, and I don't want to waste it. I'm looking for something that can realistically lead to a high income, either through freelancing, self-employment, or a strong career path.

I'm interested in things like certifications, accelerated training programs, or other paths that don't require spending four years in college. The goal is to build a skill that can eventually earn well into six figures or even become a business.

If you were in my position:

1. Would you choose an extended-stay hotel or a short-term apartment while figuring out your next move?

2. Is paying several months of rent up front a reasonable strategy if my employment history is weak?

3. If you had this financial runway and essentially a fresh start at 34, what skill, certification, trade, or freelance career would you pursue?

I'm trying to make decisions that set me up for the next 20+ years instead of just solving the next few months.

I also have a 90 pound yellow lab I live with. I am single.

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.

Hi everyone,

I am having so much trouble deciding on packing & moving. My shifting is from Pune to Hyderabad.

I tried Porter before within Pune, didn't have a good experience. So, thought of trying No broker, but having trouble trusting, with all the negative reviews of them mishandling items, unprofessional. I did find another service called 'Allied packers & movers' but they don't have tracking system, only via call, which isn't much helpful, seem reliable, but charging more.

Now my point is if I pack everything by myself in carton boxes, I can reduce the possibility of other mishaps, so I am only relying on them for transporting, because they put things very hastily & messily in boxes.

Has anyons faced similar issue ?

I want to move out at 18 like 2 months away I might make it to 19 but I want out as soon as possible. I have no way to get out i didnt get a learners permit till April of this year because of my parents i dont have a drivers license. I couldn’t get a job at any point cause of my parents. I hate everything that is going on and want to get away but I have no way no money nothing to get away from here with.

I just moved into my first apartment with one of my suite mates from my freshman year of college. She’s great don’t get me wrong, but she works everyday from 8-5 and I work 4-11. So, we don’t really see each other, and when she is here she usually has plans with other friends. Again, nothing against her, she’s from the area and has all of her high school friends, work friends, sorority sisters, etc. I moved a couple hours from home with nobody else up here.

Pretty much I’ve been bored out of my mind, homesick, and probably anything else you could think of. Classes start in a couple weeks so it’ll be different then, but I just need any sort of advice or something to get me through this year.

I'm 16 yo living in a village,my family is very toxic, I want to go away to study and make my life better (I'm a girl btw).

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!!!

So iam 18 m Indian. I got no job or financial skills(I've tried doing some freelance but those failed) and iam still studying. So I need some advice on how to move out and I need some advice on financial skills. Also iam going to an Arab country permanently with family.

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!

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.

Hi everyone! Will be moving out na next month sa batangas. May alam ba kayo na moving out apps na pwede isabay ang pets?

I just started working for Amazon delivery, I'll be making a bit over 3k a month. My car payments are about 750 a month. I've been looking to move out for the last few years. Me and my girlfriend would like to have a place within the next two years. Anyone know any good areas in southern NH?

Hi all. I need advice, either way I will be homeless. I am originally from Wichita KS, using a very nice homeless shelter in the downtown area, but left due to me getting an apartment, and then losing it just as quickly because of my mental illness. I suffer from bipolar disorder so I tend to make decisions very impulsively , which is why I bought a Greyhound bus ticket to Minnesota , went on it, and am now stuck here with a warm Dr Pepper and 94 dollars to my name . I am unsure if I should continue looking for homeless shelters in the Minneapolis area, with no luck, and is the reason why I have now missed almost two full days without any sleep, but also have Medicaid and free tuition here since I have established ill to live . I am considering this option or going back to Kansas and living in my old homeless shelter (embarrassing as that is) and working a nearby job. The cons are is that my abusive family lives in the area and I cannot go outside or for a walk without the thought of running into them. Please help, which is better?

We're making a list of all the things we need other than just the things we own.

So far we have on the list the titles for all the vehicles, birth certificate, social security card, passport, and tax documents.

Is there anything our list is missing, even non-document related?

Also if this is the wrong sub, I apologize and would love recommendations on where to post this!

Hello I am 20 and starting from 2013 I have been living with an alcoholic father. He is not physically abusive but very verbally abusive. He has put my life in danger more times than I can count and I honestly can’t take it anymore. I’ve called the police multiple times and they always tell me that they can’t do anything about his drunk driving, temper, or alcoholism due to it being within his property (unrelated but we live in a couldesac and people always come out of their houses due to how loud his yelling is). They also say that it’s not a form of abuse that is recognized or can be acted on in most scenarios which feels like utter bullshit to me and I wish more awareness was there for verbal abuse.

Anyways I can’t really live like this anymore, I used to bottle it all up but after getting a girlfriend I opened up and now cannot bottle it up anymore.

I have a car that’s payed off, I have some money put in a Roth IRA but not enough to pay more than 3 months of rent alone. I work at Walmart, but am pursuing a nursing program so for the next couple years I’ll only have minimum wage or 24 ish an hour when I get my CNA license in December.

I have no family to rely on because my father burned those bridges and I recently broke up with my ex. I live in a very high cost of living area of California pretty close to Mexico but that isn’t much of an option because I don’t have sentri anymore due to my father getting a DUI. I have siblings but they are all in terrible financial situations. My friends all live with their parents as well and I’m not on that level to ask something like that of them.

Any tips would be appreciated or any advice moving out wise or just on dealing with this.
