<prompt> Human: I have a couple months left of high school before I graduate and there will be no more reason for my parents to let me stay at home. My stepdad is verbally abusive and extremely over-controlling, and we have never been on good terms. Anytime that my room is dirty or the dishes dont get washed, he yells that I cant do anything right, and I need to start looking for somewhere else to live.Currently I make around 950 a month at my minumum wage job. I get around 30 hours a week. There is the possibility that I could get promoted and get 10.75 an hour, with only a few more hours a week. I have 4,000 in savings. I dont have a cellphone or a car, so those are some investments that I need to make. Most importantly, I dont know where to go! My income is not nearly enough to be able to financially support myself, and thats still not accouting for the fact that I am still expected to go to college, with very little financial support from my parents. Overall, I am just so lost with what my next steps should be. Should I even try to go to college at this point? Should I get a bike instead of a car? Is a cellphone even necessary? Should I try to get a better job? I need help.  <response>: Id recommend looking for a roommate. If you find one it will cut your living costs in half.
