<prompt> Human: My mom told me today that she is giving up on the city we live in. Shes lived here since she was about 20 and is giving up, and wants to move to where her parents and sister live since shed have help. The problem here is that I cant move with her. I dont have any family where I live besides a woman who is like an aunt to me; shes known me since I was a newborn. She is family. However, I dont know if she would let me live with her. Her son is fully grown and even though were family, I understand that she wouldnt want that extra responsibility again. I currently am trying to get a full time job, or two part time jobs because where I currently work, Im only getting 3 or 4 hours a week. On top of that, its just a terrible work environment. I need to have a sustainable income and theyre not providing it. I need enough money to take care of my dog her food is 50, Ill have to pay health insurance for her, as well as monthly grooming which is 4050. Roughly, this alone will be 120 a month. I also have a phone bill to pay, which isnt too bad, but it adds up quickly. I know Im not ready to live on my own and my Aunt is all I have for a potential housing situation. I dont know what to do about health insurance, like if Ill still be covered by my mothers or if I have to find my own. If my aunt wants me to pay for rent or help with groceries I will completely okay with that, I just dont know how much I can afford. Is there any possible way to make this work? My income currently is 8.50hr. Im trying to get a job somewhere that provides 9hr, which will make things a little easier. Im terrified and I dont know what to do or if theres any way I can make this work. I need advice with taking care of myself and paying bills, as well as living on my own. I just turned 18 and havent had much experience with this and I dont know how soon my mom plans on leaving. I need help. Please offer me any advice you can think of, as well as tips that can help in this situation. Thanks so much. Edit: I also do film and photography on the side for business. I plan on branching into the film career eventually in my life, and every now and then I book a job with someone. For photography Ill make about 250 for a shoot, and for film, about 300-350. Prices get higher the longer I spend on each booking. This is very rare though because I dont really know how to go out and book more gigs for it. Tips relating to how I can make more money out of this to live on on top of having a full time job would be awesome.  <response>: Its hard to say without knowing where you are, but Craigslist for photography and video sessions. Make sure you have a nice portfolio folder, maybe website if you can get it inexpensively.Your dog probably doesnt need health insurance and monthly professional grooming while youre building up your income and savings.Craigslist again to find room mates, but youll need some regular income to be able to afford the rent. Maybe look at night shifts where there is less competition for openings.
