<prompt> Human: Hey reddit Im in need of some serious help. By September when I turn 18 I need to gain financial independence.As of now I have a minimum wage job that wont be an option when I turn 18. I have about 500 euro to my name and another 2 grand that I can get when Im 18.I have no where to stay and parents are not an option for a place to stay or financial support.Im desperate enough for my only option to be in stocks.It doesnt have to be in September but it cant be too long after.I appreciate any help.Assistant: Im desperate enough for my only option to be in stocks.This is the last thing you should do. Keep that 2,000 euros accessible in a bank account. Try to use as little of it as possible. This is your safety net. I appreciate any help.You need to line up a job, you are dead in the water without income.Look for any and all government programs that assist people with low income. Rent assistance, Income supplements welfare in the US, Food assistance food stamps, everything.Any other family you can stay with? Any friends need a roommate? Any friends have a couch for you?Which country are you in?Human: I live in Ireland and I have friends but I dont want to rely on them.  <response>: I dont want to rely on themSometimes when shit hits the fan you have to lean on everything you have. Honestly, what good are friends if you cant lean on them when you absolutely need to?Yes, do everything you can to survive, but if it comes between not eating or calling your friends you should resolve yourself now to call your friends.
