For your own metal health and well being you need to find a way to move. Rent a room with some other college students, check out the dorms, apply for grants and loans. Get a part time job.\n\nYour dad sounds like a very angry and unreasonable person. From the little you have said his treatment of your family is psychologically/emotionally abusive. The man sounds much like my own father. Moving out was the best thing I ever did for myself. Reading the book "The Dance of Anger" by Harriet Lerner helped me resolve many of my feelings about him.\n\nAbout talking to your GF, there are plenty of public computers. Your college should have some and your local library. Yahoo Messenger has a web based version that does not require you to download so you can use it on public computers.\n\nGood Luck and take care of yourself.

Yes try your own business. This could be a great start for you. Ask your parents what they think.

Do you have a job?  Or are you going to college?  I would suggest going away for college, at least 20 minutes away.  Your parents will physically have less control over you because you will be on your own and be able to do as you wish.  You will also meet tons of people in college and obviously it is good way to find yourself and figure out what kind of career you want.  You are 19, a legal adult.  You have every right to make your own decisions now.  The sooner you break away, the sooner your *own* life can start.  Good luck!

How old are YOU?  Because if you are not 18, or if you havent finished H.S., then you are definately not ready to move out of your parents house.

MOVE OUT.  You are 21...your mom has no right telling you when to be home.

That arrangement is entirely up to you and your parents. What ever makes all of you comfortable. Some leave, some don't. If you do stay though, you should help contribute to the household income or at least do a decent amount of work around the house to help pay for your keep.

yea i like the idea of getting student aid... but i was in the same boat you are/were.. i work full time now and go to school at night and i live on my own.... i dont know how much u work during the week, but keep this in mind make sure ur rent is about 1/3 or less of what you bring in permonth... if it isnt figure out what ur spending money on and maybe make a list of things that are essential like bills and rent, and then write down things u need like food and toiletries... after that maybe save some money and then after that you can spend it on what you want, but make sure ur spending the money in the right place...also you are going to burn youself out... as i used to work two jobs seven days a week.. IT WAS HELL!!! SO then I got a state job and it pays well and has benefits... id look into something like that...

Well the first step to managing your finances is to consider your priorities.  With three children you may be concerned about their education and creating a sense of everyday stability.  If your goal is to maximize the livelihood for your family than renting and investing in a business may not be the best options.\n\nRenting can be throwing away money, whereas home ownership is taking your liquid assets and converting them to a home.  Home ownership is preferable to renting; homes tend to appreciate in value.  Buying a home will provide a safe and stable place to live in for you and your familly while allowing for the potential to earn returns on the appreciation or home value.  I'm not certain where you live, but it may be possible to purchase a home with that money or in the least make a significant down payment.  \n\nI would not recommend starting a business if you lack business experience, the rate of small business failure is high.  If you are determined to start a business and do not have a business degree or a masters in business you may want to invest in your education before going forward.  At the end of your education you just may decide not to start a business after all.\n\nIn reality $200,000 is not a lot of money--don't get me wrong it is a significant sum of money.  It is very easy to squander that kind of money if you neglect your priorities.  So beware unless you budget and make a plan to use that money wisely.

You could:\n-get a job (now & during college)\n-get a student loan (that would be payed back after you're done with college)\n-get a scholarship (this can be done even if you're in college now!)\n-have your parents pay for it (you'll be lucky if they do...seriously!)

GOOD POINT..\nLiving at HOME, isnt REAL life.\nGoing to school has nothing to do with real life or what sociaty IS'.\nParents are there to TEACh you(they HOPE), and for you to learn..\n\nUntill you reach 25, and have spent AT LEAST 5 years on your own, paying ALL your bills, and HAVE a job, and NO DEBT.  Your parents will not/should not acknowledge that you are a success, and THEY have done there best.\n\nYOU, are their experiment.  IF they did it ALL right, you will leave their home, and be suited to life life WITHOUT THEM, and they wont need to worry about you.

I would say at $500 a month you're getting off pretty cheap.  You don't say how old you are or if you work full time or go to school.  If you went out on your own you'd have to pay rent, utilities, food, etc.  My advice would be to find a higher paying job.

Pay attention in school and maybe you'll learn enough to graduate and get your own computer!\nIf you spend all your time on a useless website like myspace, you'll be an idiot loser on welfare. I don't want to pay for you to live, and I don't think anyone else here does either!!

living outside the city and taking a bus in would be cheaper. (you can buy a bus pass for around 40 dollars a month and ride it all you want.) if you live inside the city rent will probably be higher.\n\nand if you don't have any money then you can't move out, can you?\n\nliving on your own is very expensive. i suggest you go to a school near your parent's house until you are mature enough to hold a job.

I moved out at 18 to go to university. I got a small allowance from my parents that almost covered my rent but was not entitled to any grant so I got a job. I went home for the first Christmas holiday but after that I didn't go back for holidays just the odd few days as I was able to increase the hours on my job during the holidays. \nI think moving out at 18 is a very good idea, otherwise you can get stuck. My brother is 28 and still lives with our parents although he has a good job he feels he can't afford a place of his own. This is rubbish he has just got too used to having a large disposable income and doesn't want to have to spend it on rent or a mortgage. \nThere are plenty of ways to move out like sharing with friends or buying somewhere that needs work done so is cheaper. You just have to live within your income and make your mortgage your only debt. \nDon't expect to live in a palace when you are 18.\nDefinitely move out you won't regret it.
