<prompt> Human: Im 21 F and I had been living at home for the past year, working in restaurants to save a little extra money before planning to return to school. Long story short, my home life was terrible and I was dealing with a lot of emotional abuse and anxiety, so I decided to pack my bags and move out while they were at work two days ago.Right now Im living at my friends apartment, theres plenty of room and since her dad pays for it all with no trouble they dont expect rent. So I got really lucky. But Im trying to work and save up so that I can afford my own place in a cheaper area. I have interviews lined up for serving jobs, which I love, though Im considering finding a desk job or perhaps a barista job as well? Im really committed to making this work so that I dont have to return home. Does anyone have any money savingmoney earning advice? Is working two or three jobs a good idea Im in a city so getting from place to place shouldnt be hard? Whats the best way to cut down on food cost? Im in a bougie area that only has whole foods, is it worth it to travel further for cheaper groceries? Any tips on managing finances?Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated!!  <response>: theres plenty of room and since her dad pays for it all with no trouble they dont expect rentMake sure you check with her father and not just your friend on this. Plus if its a lease, that youre even allowed to stay there for the long term without being added as a resident. Sometimes people get weird about someone staying at a property beyond 30 days as it establishes them as a tenant and even though youre not paying rent it requires them to give you notice and possibly go thru an eviction process in order to force you to leave. As for employment -- You just need to try to get a job making as much money as you can. If you can get a desk job with a decent income and then perhaps a part time servingbarista job as well. The food industry can be physically demanding so having multiple jobs in the same industry might burn you out. Spend less than you earn. Dont buy stupid stuff, and pack food for lunches, dont eat out. It may be cheaper to go to a traditional store or the distance may not be worth the savings. Youll have to look at your options.
