<prompt> Human: I am 20 years old and live with my parents. I am verbally and physically abused. I have grown to resent my home and the area I live in because I feel very trapped in this abuse. I want to move far away Los Angeles. I read an article stating that I would need to save approximately 8000 to move and have a bit of wiggle room to find a job. I have never moved or lived on my own. I have never been very good at saving, especially that much money. I considered taking out a personal loan, as I pay my bills and have I consider decent credit, but I know thats not the most responsible thing I could do. I am also a student at the local university and have to consider the cost of attending a different university when moving. I dont know where to begin. Any advice at all will be helpful. EDIT:My income is 300 a week. Neighboring towns are too close to my incredibly small town to avoid my family.  <response>: Find a womens shelter or move in with a family member. If you have made the conscious decision to leave then gtfo of there.
