I'm a 20F who lives in an incredibly toxic household (gaslighting, manipulation, yelling, nagging, insults, the list goes on) and I want to move out by March. I've been thinking about this for months but I can't take their BS anymore. I want opinions on the numbers. Everyone always says this is the time to save up so I'm wondering if this decision will keep me in a good spot.
Savings (35k). Investment (10.5k)
Monthly Income : $2300 a month
$500 : part time job $100 : side gig making jewelry (could vary) $250 : scholarships/grants divided over 26mths $1450 : 2.5 co-op work terms remaining at $20/hr divided over 26 months (the remainder of my degree). i've already completed 1 and am in the middle of my second one making $26/hr as a student software developer. i'm lowballing the salary for the other terms.
Monthly expenses on my own: $1370 without tuition, $2020 with tuition divided over 26 months. (expenses include rent, utilities, groceries, eating out, gym, phone bill, household necessities)
Expenses with my boyfriend who's planning to move in with me in 6 months : $970 no tuition, $1620 with tuition ***don't want to rely on this since anything could happen but thought I'd include it since it's the plan
Is it realistic for me to move out and still have a solid financial future?
Any comments / tips / advice / criticism is welcome. Thanks.
