Ineed to move out and rent some place but it's expensive here and I don't make a lot of money. Rent goes from 500 to like 900 or more. And it's just for a room or seomthing.

Right now I have 7000 saved.. but I don't think that's enough. Then I have to pay school loans etc. and car payments(400 per month).

If I save 10,000 would that be enough to start moving out?

I'm confused because some people say
-MOve out now... when you do you find a way to make things work. Take up 2 jobs, this and that and.. etc etc
Then some other people say
-Rent is expensive just stay with your parents

But I don't have any freedom and my parents control me.. So I don't want to stay with them forever. I'm already in my early 30s.

What you need to do is write out a budget. List all of your expenses, the bills and payments you have to make, estimate how much you'll pay in rent, utilities, food, etc. look at how much money you make now and see if you could really afford to be on your own? Keep in mind you'll likely need to put down a security deposit. And it's also a good idea to have money saved up in case something happens like say you lose your job, get sick, or your car breaks down. There's so many things that can go wrong its good to be prepared for as much as possible. If it turns out you'd need more money to make it on your own and would need a second job, get a second job before you actually move out. Its tough finding jobs right now pretty much everywhere it seems. Its hard to say if $7000 is enough. For me personally, it would be more than enough for me to move right now. But my expenses are likely also much less than yours.

I will be hard and blunt, perhaps he need to be controlled for his own safety and health,

Not that I believe a word he is saying about anything

In three months he has had :
1. been obsessed by Japanesse women who visit our nation.
2. obsessed by paying for sex and massage palors ( asian women)

3. had a smell in his car
4.had testicle pain
5. had carpal tunnel pain
6. had something wrong with brain and can not speak well
7. pain in ribs that can not be cured
8. stabbing pains in chest
9. swallowing issue
10. STD worries
11. Erection issues with beautiful women
12. Ankle pains


And all in 3 months, I don't know who why they are not in the ER since they can't walk, can't use hands, can't have sex but got a STD when they did.


How much you have in the bank means nothing, how much you earn each month is the issue
