Things finally hit the fan between me and my parents. I am not making this up, they cut me off because I took a job instead of wanting to come home during the summer. I’m a 20 year old university student with about 800 dollars in the bank currently. I start my job next week which is going to pay me roughly ~2000 dollars a month after taxes. I’m living with my cousin at the moment, paying 300 dollars a month for rent.
They are going to take away my car and phone which they pay for currently. I plan on buying a bike to get to and from work until I can save up enough to buy a car. Anyway, I am just confused on where to start. I need help figuring out student loans, making an effective budget, and generally just dealing with this situation.
edit for clarity:
My parents are extremely anxious people and sheltered me a lot growing up. When I got out of high school I got into some decent universities but they convinced me to stay another year and knock out a bunch of credits at CC (good move). I also got my EMT-B license and worked for a while to save up money before transferring to Uni five hours away. The job I have is as a psych technician in a hospital and I plan on keeping it through the duration of college. I only have two years left, tuition for those two years is going to be around 24-30k when it is all said and done. I cover 4k of it a year with scholarships. The housing situation is just for the summer. In the fall I have an apartment lined up with a friend, rent increases to 500 a month. Biking to and from work will not be a hassle for the summer, but it would be really difficult once fall rolls around.
