<prompt> Human: Some details first. I am 17 soon to be 18. My parents recently dropped a bomb on me and told me that they plan on moving 4-5 hours from our current residence in Sydneys Western suburbs in late Novemberearly December. I currently have no savings due to the lack of a part time job but have a potential job lined up which promises 380-400 per week as well as further education.My question is whether or not finding my own place to live here, or closer to the city is a possibility? I recognise my current situation is not promising and my living standards would be poor and inadvisable but I would like nothing more than to stay. My parents are not willing to provide help as they wish for me to move away with them.How would I be able to keep living here?All help and criticism is welcomed. Apologies for any missed information. Thanks PF.  <response>: Was in a similar situation to you, although I was kicked out of home. A shitty place to rent anywhere near Sydney will likely be your entire wage, and if youre still studying, that adds extra pressure. move with them, get a job, save your money and move out when you can afford to. I had zero savings and had to live in a homeless shelter as centrelink and a part time job was not enough to pay the bills. a homelss shelter is not a fun place. Be an adult, acknowledge you cant afford it, and move with them, get a job, save your money. I dont want to sound harsh, but I know how horrible it is not being able to afford to live
