<prompt> Human: So I recently landed a job making around 2,000 a month after taxes. Not a lot, but decent for me. Im an 18 yo male with a GED and 12 college credits. Im an account executive at a marketing company. My parents are letting me live at home while I take a year off before I go to college. My father is a physician, with multiple properties and almost endless money from his investments and inheritance. Out of my 2,000 a month, he wants me to pay him and my mother each 100 dollars a week for raising me, as well as 100 a week in rent. He said I can have 100 dollars a week for myself. On top of that, he said hes going to be taking 100 dollars a week of my money and putting it into savings, which he will control. He said the same thing about my previous job during high school, where he controlled over 6,000 dollars of my money, which was all of it. I was saving to get a car, and he said he wasnt giving it back because I owed my parents for raising me. He also did this with my Bar Mitzvah money. I have no credit score, no savings, and 900 dollars to my name from my last paycheck. He says he is expecting the check from me tonight. I have no car, rely on the train system in my city to get work. I have clothes, a cell phone, everything else. What should I do? Do I move out, find a roommate, and wing it in a job thats dependent on my sales performance? Or do I stay at home and accept my 400 a week and just wait it out?Edit: I will say that I had a rough period in high school where I was pretty depressed. My older brother literally had to move out to a relatives house in high school because of my parents nature. Whereas he didnt go back to college and became a plumber, I have to go back to college. But I took a year off before college because Ive seen how hard it is. When I was in high school, I was doing really well. My father encouraged me to drop out, get my GED, and go to community college full time, like he did. I was accepted into community college, and did a whole year of it when I was 17. 12 credit hours each semester. The stress was too much to me to handle, and I decided to take a year off to just work, get paid, have my own money, and just have the teenage years I never had. If I knew it wouldve morphed back into this, I wouldnt have taken the year off.x200B;x200B;x200B;UPDATE:Well, this is it. Im moving out next Thursday. Im renting a bedroom in a house full of graduate students. Its 500 dollars, its well within my budget. I told my parents last night, and they were very upset. But, its my choice, not theirs. Im an adult. I have to start living to make myself happy, not to make them happy. Thank you all for your advice and help.  <response>: On one hand, youre not going to find a deal this good for living situations thats nearly as comfortable fully stocked food, furnishings, etc. and no way to make it by if you lose your job or anything happens.
