<prompt> Human: To cut the story short- I recently got a new job which is paying me almost double what I originally was making at my current job. I dont start the new job for another week but salaried at 40K annual income. I wanted to stay living at home with parents until I graduated college- I just started this year but its a online school where I can finish as many or as little classes as possible. At my own paste basically. I pay out of pocket for school- I dont want to do loans. I recently have gotten into a few disagreements and arguments with another sibling to the point where I overheard my mother telling them that she is considering kicking me out of the house. I get along with everyone in my house with the exception of that younger sibling- quite honestly- my parents have been looking for an excuse to make me leave their home since the found out my new income, not because they hate me- we get along quite well, they just want me out- well- they found their reason. Now I need to prepare.I was building up my savings and had a negative net worth this time last year. I paid off my car loan and credit card debt by the end of last year and am debt free. I pay for school out of pocket. Alas- my savings is gone due to medical bills on top of now I have to replace some parts in my car... not going to be a cheap repair by any means. So right now- if I were to get kicked out tomorrow, Im screwed. I dont have enough money for a deposit nor for the first month of rent. I have about 200 in savings currently I was at almost 2K before all this happened!I need to budget and figure out my options. After taxes, Im taking home a little over 1300 bi-weekly with the new job. I get paid twice a month so that puts me at 2600 monthly income. My school tuition is roughly 900 a month. Gas 50, food 100. Car insurance and phone bill 240 between the two. I rent a storage shed for 50 a month, but I likely will get rid of it if I get my own place. Oh I do have a orthodontic work which costs me 100 a month as well. That puts me at 1060 left over a month roughly with current expenses. I try to be as minimalistic as possible with my bills and avoid subscriptions.I dont want to have to pick between a roof over my head and my school- and Im too stubborn for a loan and I dont qualify for scholarships at this time... A lot of places for rent around here are going to cost me 700-800 on up depending and that wont factor in utilities, internet, etc- thats just for rent.. This is with considering a roommate too. I am stressing out over my situation as 200 left over while a lot... just is not a lot of cushion to build off of. And as mentioned earlier- I could be getting kicked out tomorrow, or next month for all I know. But what I do know, is that if it were to happen tomorrow, Im screwed. I have nothing in my savings after my car and medical bills. Nothin for a security deposit or the first month of rent. What would I do then? Obviously until it happens- I know I need to save up as much as possible before then. I wont start my new job until another week- and I wont be getting those paychecks until early next month, it wont hurt me too bad as my current job will fill in that cushion of money between now and then to though. I just wont get those 1300 biweekly paychecks for a bit.I just feel lost, scared, and unprepared. I originally wanted to finish school before I moved out so I had more room to work with. Not to mention I was hoping Id have a decent amount in savings by then too... but here we are. I need some help from you guys on what to do. I apologize for this being long- Im a bit of a mess and Ive been trying to go through these options for the last few hours since I overheard this conversation... but would feel better getting second opinions and offering input and advice.EDIT: so yes I gotta pick a bone with a lot of you guys. Some of you gave me legitimate advice and I appreciate it! You can find my comment down below as to the sibling situation but long story short: its complicated. I found it irrelevant to discuss the relationship of my sibling in a financial subreddit- if I want relationship advice- I would have gone to a relationship subreddit. Hence I found it irrelevant to mention the details. FURTHERMORE: what the fuck, you guys? This subreddit is all about promoting being out of debt and financial advice and helping each other out with financial decisions. I am an adult and Im living at home UNTIL I graduate college. How does me wanting to stay as debt free as possible because I cant support both at the same time currently- childish? How does being 23 and living at home unacceptable? I get to pick one or the other- and I chose college and saving up my money so I could afford more options later down the line and not have to worry about a negative net worth. It doesnt mean I sit on my ass all day. It doesnt mean I will live with my parents until they die. It doesnt make me a loser- it makes it a smart financial choice because even if I do pay rent here later down the line, its still going to be a hell of a lot cheaper than being on my own which gives me more time to save more money. If Im allowed- I will leave my parents home after I graduate college or I can afford both rent and college without paycheck to paycheck. Until then- looks like Im still stuck in a situation where I pick one or the other. Again- to those who had genuine advice and were not belittling me for being 23 and living at home? Thank you. The advice is appreciated and gives me something to think about.  <response>: Are you contributing financially to stay at your folks house? They might love you more if you did and let you stay on.
