InternalConflict,
I can definitely understand your feeling and your situation but you did not mention where (or which part of the country you living), so can not estimate your expenses.
Based on your situation, you are definitely moving out, and yes you have to........... you dont want to sink yourself on disrespect and stay feeling low.
But, now after you should have had some idea, how much it might be and i suggest to figureout the ways to minimize expenses (especially unnecessary ones, like dining out------- I really dont do that, may be once or twice a month at most, sharing wifi, cutting cables, if possible trying to find a smaller room-may be lower rent) and if possible working some extra hours.
I always think this way........ If you work hard even in a menious job, its not that difficult to make your living in America ( I definitely don't mean saving). And if you are still at school, give school a priority by any means. I have seen lot of school guys working upto 30-40 hours a week, taking 12 credit hr classes and still maintaining good grades of course at the cost of some social life, but hey you are a student, right?
If you can work upto 30 hours a week @ even $7/hr..... you make $210............ $840 per month. That should be more than good enough for your monthly expenses...
For tution...... You Might have worked or will have to work like a donkey in Summer Buddy.
good Luck.
