<prompt> Human: Background:nbsp;23 year old FemaleI have a college degree. I just got a new job paying 37,000. Decent benefits. I start next week. I live with my parents and my brother 31. My moms mental health is EXTREMELY bad, and shes an alcoholic. I cant stress enough how completely certifiably insane she is. It is deteriorating and getting to the point where its only a matter of time before shes going to be physically attacking people likely with kitchen knives. My dad already says hes leaving when she does this because courts will usually be against the man in physical altercations. Sometimes she gets bad like this, then shes fine for a few months, but then its always worse the next time. Sometimes she just keeps getting worse for weeks on end. I need to move out. If she just keeps getting worse...theres a chance Im going to have to secretly move out. Just find an apartment, then get as much stuff as possible out of my house overnight. Even if I could take a day off of work for this, my mother works...maybe 5 days a month tops. I wont have ample time to do it while shes at work. My dad likely wont help me. So overnight. I have no other family. Very few friends, and we arent close. If she gets better for a little bit...it isnt as urgent..but I still need to move out ASAP. nbsp;The numbers:nbsp;-Still owe 3000 in student loans No payment needed until 2021-11,000 in savings-1000 in credit card debt I honestly never do this, but I had an unexpected car repair-Currently own a 2002 Ford Focus with 108,000 miles. aka, it could last a few years yet, or it could have repairs so expensive i need a new car aaany day now Also technically owe parents about 10k, It was part of the agreement when they helped me pay for college However, it isnt like theres a written statement of this, my dad doesnt want the money back, and my mom does but she has no clue how much I actually owe them nbsp;Also, theres a few things that I absolutely am not considering to be an option here: nbsp;1. Calling the cops next time she loses her shit or trying to help her trust me its a lost cause, Im done 2. Getting a roommate I have no friends and Im not turning to craigslist, JUST FORGET IT 3. Quitting my job and moving to an area with lower rent costs It was hard enough getting this job nbsp;I live in Pennsylvania. Studios1 bedrooms in my area are a minimum of about 850 unless im cool with roaches and getting mugged anywhere within a 45 minute drive of my workplace. There is no reliable public transportation. nbsp;How do I make this work without living paycheck to paycheck? I dont even really know where to start. I had really hoped Id have more time to save. None of the oh rent should be 30 of your income max or any other typical repeated advice works based on my finances actual costs of living. I know this isnt ideal, it just needs to work. Im not worrying about retirements, or investments, and I never want to start a family. I just need to move out and sustain myself. And I have no fucking clue about anything.  <response>: Then rent a place and move out. You make money, and are clearly determined to not make any of the reasonable decisions people ON A PERSONAL FINANCE SUBREDITT are likely to suggest. Nothing is keeping you in your current situation.
