<prompt> Human: Hi I am a 23 year old college graduate with no student debt and I need to leave my home immediate and separate from my parents for reasons I wont get into. I currently have no job but have worked retail a bit and have some experience so I may be able to get a job for short term. I have 500 in my bank account thats also controlled by my parents so if anyone can recommend a new bank that I should transfer my money to that would be great. Also are there papers that I should take with me? My phone, laptop, and car are all controlled by my parents right now as well and I will prolly lose all of them. Im not sure how to tackle that problem. Basically Im lost as to how to leave my current situation and become financially independent and need some help. Assistant: You have a college degree. Why no job? Are you able to use your education and get something in your field of study? Your laptop is not your own? Do you have any possessions? Gifts that you have accumulated over the years? You will need a phone and can get a burner phone for cheap with a pay-as-you-go plan. You will need that for job hunting. If you are in a state that has Medicaid sign up for that.Any friends or family you can stay with temporarily while you get on your feet?Human: I have a degree in genetics with a 3.0 Gpa but I want to be to go into the field of bioinformatics which combines computer science with biology but I need money for classes and a masters and I want to save and become independent before then. My parents bought me my laptop and once I tell them I am leaving then Im not sure if they will let me keep it or not. Yeah I live in Maryland so I will need to look into the Medicaid thing. Assistant: Are you being kicked out or choosing to leave for your own reasons? Sounds like your parents are not expecting you to move. If that is the case you would do better to quit the gym and spend your time getting a job, phone, bank account, identification paperwork before moving out.Human: I am choosing to leave due to differences in how my parents and I see my future. They feel as if they control everything in my life and I need to get away from that for now.  <response>: Understandable but you still need a place to sleep, food to eat and money to get your own place. 500 is enough to keep you off the streets for a week or two but not enough to move into your own place.
