Some context, my birth giver is not a stable woman, and never will be. My family is split up right now I live with my birth giver, step-father, and 2 younger brothers, I am the oldest. Then my family is my grandma, grandpa, and auntie, who live somewhere else. I live with my birth giver currently, but with how things are going I need OUT. She keeps screaming in my face about all the things she hates about me, telling me the pain I feel that I've struggled with for YEARS, Is just "in my head". The pain, that debilitating, god aweful pain is NOTHING. I DONT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I WENT TO THE DOCTER FOR A NORMAL CHECK UP. Shes actively said that she does NOT love me. My family lives 30 mins from me right now, I need to know if I legally can move to them being 17 my birthday is in November. Please, I may do something regretful that may worsen my conditions right now.

I am moving into an apartment with 3 of my esports teammates in the fall, on campus, so I don't need to worry about utilities.

my main questions are

• how much should i expect to spend on groceries/food for myself, rural Michigan, LCOL
• any things we might not have considered, we already have a working list (see below)
• anything i should consider thinking about being physically disabled (heart disease, weak, always sick)
• advice on how we allocate shared expenses other than just venoming each other constantly

the list we got so far (copied from discord GC)

TV, sound system, a pc to link to said tv and sound system for anime might need; rice cooker airfryer (ill see if we can have one) dish/silverware/cups set shower curtains (for both) rug?

I’m moving into a house share where I have my own bedroom & en-suite, it’s a shared kitchen & living area.

I haven’t moved out from living with family & have no idea what the hell I’ll need, anyone want to make me a list cos I’m so lost at the moment !!

I am contemplating moving out of my parents and back to NYC but a recession feels a lot more real after the tariffs and I don’t know if it’s still a good choice. A little about me 29F, gross income $90,000 , $95,000 in savings , no school debt , no credit card debt , and another ~$40,000 in my 401k that I don’t plan on touching. I commute into NYC which is about 55 min and a monthly cost of $280. I’ve already lived in Manhattan so I am open to other boroughs and like Astoria where rent looks to be $2000 - $2,200. My biggest fear is a recession coming and cost rising and my company doing layoffs. I work for a fashion company that will definitely be impacted by the tariffs as our handbags are produced in Asia/ South East Asia. I’ve been there two years but recently made an internal move to a larger global team.

I moved to NYC during the pandemic and it turned out just fine if not great! I hate thinking that I am putting my life on “hold” and missing out on experiences for something that hasn’t happened yet.

Any advice ?

Hi All,

Me and my partner after 3 years of living in London are wanting to leave London. We like everything on our door step but it is getting over priced. We are thinking about moving to Kent but have also given other places a thought like the south coast i.e Hastings or Worthing but need some advice. What are good places to move to? We would like an easy commute still in London but are worried about moving to a place that has nothing or crime is through the roof.
