<prompt> Human: I 25F lived away from home during college and I am currently staying at my parents house for my final internship. I will graduate in May and will start a new job soon.I have no student loans thanks to a combination of cheap in-state tuition, scholarships, part time jobs, and living in a house with 10 or more people in college. I dont have credit card debt and my score is 770.Salary: 43,650 for 10 months I have the option of working during the summer to earn extra income. Estimated monthly take home pay: 2400 divided between 12 months Savings: 3500 Expenses while living with parents: Car payment: 221 Car insurance and gas: 100 Food: 200 Cell phone: 50 Medication: 20 Psychotherapy copays: 100 Miscellaneous expensesDiscretionary spending: 100 Total: 791 Living with parents: My parents come from a country where multigeneratinal households are the norm and children live at home until theyre married. Im not close to my family and I dont get along with my father hes emotionally abusive but he started working the evening shift and I generally see him only on weekends. My parents see me as a combination of child and third parent to my two siblings 12 year old brother and 14 year old sister. My sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia last year but gets inconsistent treatment because my parents are in denial our father doesnt want her in therapy and frequently tries to get her off her meds. My mom and I are usually the ones caring for herkeeping her safe when she relapses. Living at home is stressful but I estimate that I could save 1500 per month by living at home. Living alone: A one bedroom apartment in my area is easily 1000 or more. If I live alone, rent and utilities will cost over 50 of my monthly net income. Ill have additional expenses such as internet and renters insurance and Ill have to spend money on things for the apartment such as furniture. After paying all of my bills, I estimate that I would only be able to save less than 100 per month.Roommates: In college I lived in cheap community housing with 10 or more strangers. I also shared a bedroom with one other person. I noticed that my mental health was a lot worse during that time I was hospitalized twice while living there. It got much better after I moved to a single apartment.Another option would be to have just one roommate or rent a bedroom in a home. I rented a room and bathroom in a condo that belonged to an older woman. It ended up being a negative experience because she let her son stay with us and he would steal my belongings, do drugs in the house, bring strangers home from nightclubs, trash the condo etc. I later found out that he had an extensive history of violence towards women and tried to break into our apartment after he was kicked out. Im wary of informal rental agreements after this experience.I would really like to move out, but it seems financially irresponsible at this point. My goals are to build an emergency fund, save for retirement, stay financially independent, and stay healthy. Im not sure what to do and would appreciate any advice. Ill admit that I have been sheltered and Im naïve about most of these things.  <response>: Maybe live with your parents at first, on a trial basis. Worst case scenario: you are miserable and move out after 2 months, but have still saved 3000. Best case scenario: its not so bad, and you save even more.Also, living with them at first gives you extra time to hunt for a good apartment situation. It takes time to find the right place, with the right commute, with the right roommate. If youre with your parents in the meantime, you wont be so rushed.I also agree with paying down your car quickly.
