<prompt> Human: To sum the story my dad passed away and left me 100k and in new york state you can apply for free tution and my mother has decided to leave New York state to go live with her boyfriend in Florida. We currently live with him and he is extremtly emotionally abusive and I can no longer take it but now since she is leaving new york state i will have to burn my 100k to pay for college and my mother basicly told me that thats what the money is ment for and now instead of the money supporting me and being a down payment for a house its now going to be spent on college so she can go live with her abusive boyfriend. Extremely frustrated and mad beacuse now I wont have any money for my masters and apartment ect after college. College will cost me 93,576 at the end since I wont receive state financial aid instead of 37k if I did. Im basicly losing all my money my dad gave me beacuse of my mothers ignorance so I dont know what to do. Assistant: Youre not losing the money. Its going to further your education. If it will fully fund your college than youre going to come out so much further ahead than most other graduates. Why can you not apply for financial aid? If youre working minimum jobs, you should still qualify for some aid. Work through school to pay for your day to day, and save up that money as much as you can if masters is your dream.Im sorry for the situation you are in with relationships, but dont focus on this as a negative to your financial life, because its not as bad as you think. Human: But after college Im lost on what to do, i wont have a support system ect since i spent it all on school  <response>: So youll be in the same position that millions of other people find themselves in every year. Generally, after school you get a job and start supporting yourself.
