<prompt> Human: Im an 18 year old guy and soon to be homeless. To preface:Ive been living with my Mom who has mental issues and was basically a ticking time bomb. Today we had a small argument and she suddenly went absolutely insane. Im going to spare the details but if you were to listen to the breakdown from outside youd think someone was being murdered. Her breakdown is over but she says Shes done with everything and is leaving the apartment so that the rent will not be paid. Well likely soon be evicted anyway because of the damage to the apartment.So thats the situation. I need advice on how to get through this... for reference:I have no money for at least a week. We have always been extremely poor, living paycheck to paycheck and often that wasnt even enough, etc. My mom when she was being normal told me to quit my job last year and focus on school, so I did.But, I did get a job this week to pay for school transportation, but since I just started I barely have any weekly hours and my paycheck is at least a week away. But Id like some tips on what to do once I get it.Im enrolled in a massage therapy school and I have a student loan taken out for it, so leaving is not an option. But everyone is very nice there so I can probably ask for some help there on Monday.Ive seen others like me come here in a crisis. If you know any subreddits I should x-post this to please let me know, Ill be checking my notifications as I pack my stuff.I typed this up fast so Im sorry if some things arent clear, Ill reorganize this later. Thank you for reading.Edit 1: Thanks to everyone who has advised me so far. Unless theres a better idea or a reason not to, Its looking like joining the military is the best choice for me. Ive got no family, and my friends dont even live on their own yet. My new job is not giving me nearly enough work hours to live off of. I dont have much wiggle room, unless I can convince my boss to give a brand new guy full time hours. If theres any advice about this choice you can offer, please do.Edit 2: Wow, a ton of people are dropping advice. Thank you so much. Please give me some time to respond to the comments and messages. Bless you allEdit 3: I spoke to my landlord and hes giving me some time to get on my feet. He told me hed call in 6 weeks to see what my plan is. So I have a little time.Additionally Ive formally decided to join the Air Force and quit massage school. I took the practice ASVAB and got a great score so to all the people PMing me worried about me dying in the military -- dont worry, I will probably have more flexibility in my placement than you think. Ill make a final update when I have my start date, so again THANK YOU to everyone in this thread who provided advice.Assistant: You havent been evicted yet. The moment you miss rent, you arent kicked out. Eviction is a process. Thoroughly think through your next steps. Can you find a second job or increase your hours at your current job? If you do look for a second job, I recommend night shift or a live-in situation.Do you have any local homeless shelters you can book in at?Do you qualify for any other type of shelter? There are certain shelters that are for kicked out teens and going adults exclusively.Are there any items of yours you can sell? If you end up homeless, you wont be able to take it all with youAre there any Gurdwaras near you? They offer free meals without any preachingCan you contact your local foodbank?They also have information about soup kitchensAny friends or family you can couch surf with while you get settled? At the very least can you get your mail set there?Any skills you can monetize?Do you qualify for government benefits?To better help wed need to know:Do you have any savings at all? Do you have a car or a bike?Do you live in a city or the country?Which country are you in? Human: Well finding a second job will be difficult since Im enrolled in a school. If I drop out my loan grace period will start ticking. Ive got no family or self-supporting friends. Im currently looking around online for local shelters. No savings, my mom took most of my money over the years to pay off extra debts from her past, not like I can ask for it back either since she has nothing to give. As for transportation I use public transport. I live in Pompano Beach, Florida, a fairly busy city.  <response>: A second job and school may be difficult, yes, but I will say its pretty normal for American students. But since you mentioned that you just started and arent getting hours, Id look for another job to fill in the days youre not working at your first one. Im up to four now. The trick is to scale back your availability at your lower paying job once you get a different one. Good luck, my last cent before I go, try and get a second job somewhere laid back so you still have time to do homework, like a mom and pop shop or bowling alley.
