<prompt> Human: Hey everyone, apologies if this question is lacking in any needed information but Im not quite sure where to start, so Im just gonna type and TL;DR.Up until right about 3 months ago, my life was a MESS. I had debilitating problems with my mental and physical health, struggled with drug addiction on and off since I was 14, etc. I didnt care about anything up until around 6mo-1yr ago, and by not caring, I fucked myself over pretty hard. My work history is ugly, Im a high school dropout, and my credit score is a big ol 0. Fortunately, over the last year a lot has changed. I dont use drugs anymore, Im coming up on a year without heroin. Im taking my physical and mental health VERY seriously and its improving every day.About 3 weeks ago, I came to terms with how unhappy I was about what state I lived in, and given we had no job, no local family, no real home, and no drive to do anything, my girlfriend and I decided to move back to where I grew up.Girlfriend has a very similar background; mental health issues and addiction issues, year sober, mental health is showing serious improvementWithin 3 days of moving here and crashing in an extended stay, both she and I got hired at a damn good small company. Pre-tax, shes making 12hr, Im making 16hr, we both work 40hrsweek, and we both receive a 1 raise and insurance in 90 days depending on performance, but all of my coworkers have told me that if you arent terminated in those 90 days youll get the raise and insurance.That puts our combined monthly pretax income at 4480. Our first check is due in 2 days and itll be for around 40hr apiece. My primary concern is getting out of this goddamn motel, its essentially a tweakhouse, and even if we werent trying to avoid active drug addicts, its not the safest place to be. Im running out of things to say, not because I dont have more questions, but because Im not sure what questions I need to be asking. TL;DR: My life has been a shitshow and Im finally trying to pull myself out of the gutter. My SO and I make 4480 monthly pretax. We have no credit, terrible work history, and just moved to the state. We also dont really have any guiding figuresmentors whove been in a remotely similar situation to us, and have no idea how to do anything. Any direction, experience, advice, words of wisdom, or even just wishes of good luck would be received with much gratitude. Thanks everyone!!!  <response>: Look for a rental. Given your badno credit you might need to give 2 months security deposit to reassure a landlord or agree to pay slightly above market rent. Your first rental need not be perfect, ideally you two will be in a better spot in a year and can move up to a nicer place then.Find a local community counseling center, and adult basic education center to sign up to both help with your mental health and to get you on track to complete at least your GED. Keep working hard. Build up an emergency fund. Dont blow your money furnishing your apartment or buying new stuff. Get cheap pre-paid cell phone plans, buy your furniture and as much other stuff as possible at thrift stores and estate sales. Get a secured credit card or two in a few months when you can afford the deposits to start rebuilding your credit. Maybe in 24 months if you two can both keep things on track you might even be in a position to buy a cheap house with an FHA mortgage if your hometown isnt in a high cost area.
