<prompt> Human: Okay so Im about to come out to my parents next year, blah, blah, blah, and, long story short, I think Im going to be 100 completely on my own financially in about a year and a half. So. Im trying to save up enough money that I wont be homeless. Right now, Im making a list of expenses. Ive budgeted for rent, grad school tuition, health insurance, and a phone plan. Im thinking about a car if I can find a good one with low high? gas mileage. Assume I am incredibly stupid and have no real-world experience at all whatsoever. What do I need to budget for that Im forgetting?Edit: While I am still more than open to more advice, I want to thank each and every one of you who has commented. Genuinely, all of you made this seem surmountable and thats really something I need right now. I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me do this.  <response>: Where you live changes your expenses. You might want to find someone who lives close to where you want to live and ask them what their expenses looks like. Also, you might want to look into support groups for whatever coming out youre planning to do. They might be able to help you find friends and support if you end up needing a job or a roommate or therapy or whatever else you need. You can build a network of support because youll probably need it.
