Do you think it’s safe to move out with only 2000$ in savings?

I have to wait until after December at least. When I get my driver’s license

Oh, by the way, I’ve fivally started learning to drive. It turns out people like my dad aren’t trying to run people down 24/7
 
I should move out.
In the US the biggest challenge to moving out is that you have to come up with first and last months rent and a deposit -- so it cost a crap ton of money to move. If you don't have to worry about that it looks like you are pretty prepared. Can you do public transportation if you find a place before you get your license?

If not -- get a calendar and start marking off the days until you can go. That will help cheer you up until you can get out of there.
 
No, my undergrad university, if I get s job there, won’t require me to have a car. But nowhere in this state had public transportation, really. Except the capital, which has taxis and a few buses that don’t leave the capital. One city near me has buses that go to the capital, and one that goes to the capitol, but that’s about it. My city’s got nothing. And the bike lanes are scary tiny, I’ve firgured out.

I’ll have to pay off student loans soon too. I’m looking at $200 a month on one of them if I can’t get the interest down. By the time I’m done with grad, though, it’ll be a lot higher. That’s the part making me uncertain about moving out. They make you sign a clause for those that you have to pay the debt even if you go bankrupt or don’t have a job. I hope they’re more forgiving to people who call in. Getting a job will help. But I’m nervous about moving out until then.

I did the calendar thing for another event. Worked well.

The thing I think is making me saddest is that Sandy was really responsive, and then when I tried to get my mom involved, she just quit answering. No explanation. I went from being a charity project to a hassle.
 
Why does my mom always go into debt after she gets raises and bonuses? And then say completely insane things like “this won’t be a good Christmas and it’s going to be sad and lame because I’m broke”? Wtf, just stop getting me things. You’re giving me too many things, please stop
