<prompt> Human: So I dont agree with any of my parents philosophies or how they live their life debt filled. Skipping over the fight. I 100 want to be free of them. I havent had a chat with them about it yet. They are refusing to speak to me.They pay for everything essentially right now of mine:Car, insurance, rent, vet, sometimes groceries.So I know chopping them off I have to potentially lose all of this.Easier said than done.My situation:Im 21 and enrolled full time in college as a junior in computer science. I work as a small-time cook making roughly 160 for only 2 weeks pay, clearly, this wont cut it. My rent is 409 a month 25 for internet. I pay roughly 60 for gas, but that might be snipped out if I lose the car. At the end of the day, I can see I need more money. food is around 50 a week.I just got a refund check from school for 1,700 that went into my account which has my name on it, but my parents are the primary holders of the account. Do I have legal right to transfer that money to my new bank account I just opened up?Also, the money came from veterans benefits that my step-father passed on to me for college, so morally its their money, but they are cutting me off for standing up for myself, so all I care about are legalities.need this answered asap, Im sure once my parents see I have this money they will try to take it away from me to make it harder to be independent, aka, force me to come back and listen to their rules.None of my family wants to argue with me about anything, they want to assume they are right and thats that, I see this as immature. They are not willing to have a sit-down conversation with me and talk adult to adult. Even if they do its not long before someones feelings get hurt, usually theirs.Im filed under them as a dependent on taxes, otherwise, Id owe money on taxes, which I will have to deal with obviously.So what should I do?Im trying to get an internship set up for next summer, hopefully, start working on my career. I feel I NEED to finish college, and am okay with taking out loans to cover my ass in the regard. But as far as living goes, what should I do now?edit: It feels like Im going to be in trouble, and may not be able to pay rent eventually, other than credit score, what else should I be worried about? If Im broke and cant pay rent, what stops me from moving into a friends house for a few months.  <response>: So long as youre taking their aid you are under their rule. If you know it all...prove it by getting out on your own. By the way, if its a joint account, no one can stop either party from spending the funds.
