Want to move out of parents house!?

Question

I need to move out of my house, i can't stand my parents anymore. i love them but I can't live with them. I am 20 and I amcurrently studying, I still have 1.5 years to go and I get my tuiton paid plus I have the pell scholarship and one other scholarship. I am worried about paying for my expenses and rent, etc.
I am planning to go to med school in 2009 so I will have to take huge loans to pay for it, but as an undergraduate I will have cero debt.what do you think? should I stay in my house or should I move?

-I was also thinking about goverment help (for food, etc).

Answer 1

Whatever is going on with your parents, it will pass. Just hang in there & think about what you're working for.
You have to decide if you think the stress you're going through right now would be better or worse than trying to make it on your own and go to school too.

Answer 2

I hear you and I feel for you so bad. I am currently in the same exact situation 20 and a man with 1.5 years left in college, but for some damned reason I don't really feel like a man. As for working 2 jobs I think that's a bid extreme. I find it very entertaining at how many people sit up here quablng about how you wont be able to make it. Like that's going help you progress. Either way you're gonna have to hit the real world sooner, or later. Quit listening to all the sappy women that tell you you'd better stay home and suck your mother breast milk. Those are the same women that'll ask you "How old are you?" and then ask...."and you still live with your?" and don't listen to the men that say you aren't being thankful for what you've got. Yeah there's luxuries to living at home to a certain point! but moving out at the appropriate time helps you to understand the real world and better puts you in posistion to have a normal life, get laid, perhaps find a wife and if you're succesful (which you sound like you could be) maybe get that good job that everyone out here is still searching for even whie 40 years old giving the wrong advice to 20 year olds about how they shouldn't move out. Good luck brother. You are a man and I know you can handle it, just be prepared to be very stressed. It wont be easy in this system. Then again....what is?

Good luck

Answer 3

PLEASE....

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD YOU HAVE IT.... but then again you didnt explain why you can't stand your parents.

I moved out on my own when I was 16, not because of my parents, but because of my younger brother....

Let me tell you something sweetie - you will need to get a job that pays enough to afford an apartment and you will need to pay your own bills... in Puerto Rico that could have been a part time, but here in the us you wont last a week with a part time, so you will need to work more hours and wont be able to sustain full time classes...

I did it... because it was the only way that I would have been able to study!!!!!...

If you can study at home right now, then you should stay there, other wise go get a job and start paying some bills honey...

Good Luck.

Answer 4

If you are planning on going to med school......then you better stay home. You need to figure out with your parents what it is that is wrong and what all of you can do to come up with a solution to fix the problem, so that all of you can live together peacefully. If there is no fix to the problem, then you are going to have to get a couple of jobs, and several stable and dependable room mates to live with. you will need several jobs to pay your monthly bills, car payments, ins, etc. as well as paying back your student loans. You are going to have to make all these pymts. so that you will have good enough credit to get more loans when you want to go to med school....If the apt. is in your name, you better make sure that you have enough money to pay rent and all monthly bills on time, and then get money back from roommates....this may be a very difficult task, if you do not choose the right ppl.....I would stay home if I were you.

Answer 5

Government will not give you help such as food stamps and the like unless you are working full-time and trying to pay your bills first. Check the details for government assistance before you do anything drastic. And the terms for assistance are limited as far as how long you can get it. It's meant to be a temporary assistance until you can support yourself. They don't offer it to students who are going to school full-time.
(I worked 45 hours a week through college and took classes full time and did not qualify for government assistance. Even though I was on student loans as well as scholarships, grants and the like)

Sounds like you had better stay put and get the free room and board until you can afford a place of your own and your bills.

Good luck.

Answer 6

What do you mean government help? Like you would get a loan from the government or were you planning on applying for well fare. Student loans cover food and housing, so I would start there. If you live on campus, you can probably save $$, especially on transportation.

Answer 7

seeing as you are going to be very busy with school and med school, which is very time consuming, you wont see your parents much as it is. you can get free rent, food, and not worry about major things but school. you cant concentrate in med school when you are worring about things like if i can get my rent in and still have enough money for food and utilities, ect.. i understand you want to move out but maybe you should just stay with them for a little while longer until you can get everything under control

Answer 8

I think that you may not be able to make it not living with your parents with all that you plan to do. My suggestion to you because you do want out would be to rent a house or apartment with some friends. Then your rent would be less.

Answer 9

Get out! You are a grown man and should have moved out a couple of years ago. Where there is a will, there is a way. You might have to (GASP) get a job while you finish school!

Answer 10

Stay in your house for now!
