<prompt> Human: long time lurker, first time posteralso on mobile so currently i am living in my parents house in Saint Louis, Missouri and they pay all bills except gas for my car. i have a job that pays 10 an hour, and currently work 25 hours a week. i can easily get more hours once i graduate from high school, which is also when i hope to move out. i am a very independent person and want my parents to not have to pay for anythingsuch as rent or utilities or food. i can get up to 40 hours a week at my job, and will most likely earn a raise or two while working those hours. i save most of my paychecks 2500 in savings at the moment. what can i do to be as financially independent as possible, while still going to a lower level college?  <response>: Dont try to live on your own while doing college use that time to focus on college not workbills. You will be better set if you are just patient with living.
