Ok where do I start...
Alright, a little about me: I'm an 18 African-American female brought up in an abusive family. I went snooping through my father's email and found a 'friendly' eviction draft dated for September 2017. Like.. holy fuck this is really happening and I have to get out. I only have a debit card and I don't have a credit card or any debt/loans. I thought I had savings bonds, but my father cashed them before I turned 18.
I currently work retail and make $9hr. I try to get scheduled for 30-32 hours every week but they will not give me more. I've tried applying to call centers but I have a heavy lisp and I believe this is causing me to fail interviews. I don't know what else pays higher than $9hr for highschool graduates. I don't have my associates (yet).
I need to enroll in community college. I tried applying to my local college online? but I'm not sure if I have classes or not as I haven't received an acceptance email. The application also asked for two $25 fees but it didn't give me an option to pay for it after I put in my FAFSA information. I'm so confused I think I got rejected because my 2.4GPA is too low. I don't have a phone because I'm trying to save money otherwise I would call. I don't know what to do.
I don't know how much I'm getting from the FAFSA. Is the Pell grant a monthly thing? These were the results of my application:
Based on your EFC of 000000, you may be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant of up to $5,920 for the 2017-2018 school year provided you have not met or exceeded the lifetime limit established for the Federal Pell Grant program.
I don't have my license or permit and I need to purchase a car so I can have transportation. I looked on craigslist and they're cheaper than the dealership but everyone keeps telling me to not do it? There are some cars for $800-$2400 and I can buy it right now and have that part done. Your sidebar recommends saving up $5000 for a good car but I don't know why when there are cheaper cars? Is there something I'm missing?
I don't know how to get an apartment. Part of my father's letter states I must take my pets with me, so I'll also have 3 small housetrained pets. Will this hurt the lease? Can I setup a direct deposit with the apartment's landlord so I can pay my bill on time?
Thank you.
