<prompt> Human: Basically - The past 3 months my mum has been constantly going at me to move out. Mum and dad are split, cant go live with dad as he only has small house with his fiance and two kids, mum has 4 other kids with step-dad. Too much arguing to go on, wants me out. I have roughly 400 in my bank, have no benefits or anything, currently earning about 20 a week and spending 22 a week for my bus to college. Just sold my laptop for an extra 90, but this isnt a great way to live. Any ideas on how I can stable out my money any benefits I can claim to help me Im not 100 up for benefits really, but things getting desperate or any where I can go? Im not sure, any help really. I realise Im looking at almost 600 a month, which isnt great. Im not being kicked out, so I still have time to save etc. Edit: Woah, didnt expect it to get so many replies. Thank-you so much guys. I just want to say that I didnt mean to paint my mum in a bad light, I am the oldest of 5 of us and she is an amazing mum to us all and always has been, but I guess its a lot to handle with me now and shes just getting tied up and aggravated. I think whats best for now is to just try and stay away from the drama, as from replies and etc I am not financially stable right now, and I shouldnt rush into it just to get out the house. This is life and I need to realise this but I already live in a mobile home outside their house, so she doesnt have to see me a lot of the time anyway. Thank-you everyone!Assistant: - If you really want to move in with your boyfriend and seriously, only do it if you mean it, you wont be happy if you only use it to escape your family then try to have a planning discussion together. Its okay if hes supporting you for a while but the two of you will need a longer-term plan of where your finances are going.- The benefits system is there to help. I dont know much about it, but you can have a look I imagine that if you move out youll qualify for income support and housing benefit. But really you need to apply start talking to people from the council who know. Better yet if you can find a citizens advice bureau who can give impartial advice.- Possibly even get a council rental as well? The public perception is that its only for families with kids but you wont know till you apply.- Bit of a side-issue, but try to avoid aggro at home. If youre being pushed to move out then, just to make up an example, a screaming row over your stepsister nicking your clothes or whatever is not going to help matters. Step-families can be very difficult but, however unfair it is, youre the one feeling the pressure, best to keep your head down.Human: This helped a lot. Im going to put up with it for however long, Im only part time at college, so maybe beg work for extra shifts? Idk. Moving out is a good option, but Id rather just mind my own business for a while. I live in a mobile homestatic caravan outside their house already, so I can easily avoid anything. Just gets frustrating. Saving my money is the best option here, thanks a lot!  <response>: Do you have any plans to move to full time at college eventually? If so you can claim a student loan for living expenses by applying to the Student Loans Company. I dont know about funding for part-time students but you could definitely call up and ask. You can probably apply as an independent student if your parents are refusing to support you. I would also try contacting student services at your college, there should be a student financial adviser you can talk to and there might be grantsother funding you can apply for.I would strongly advise getting in touch with your local Citizens Advice Bureau, they can give you advice over the phone on pretty much everything relating to benefitshousingfunding, and theres also the Shelter hotline for advice on housing.
