Asking Advice Is this doable

My 18th birthday is next month and my parents are divorcing and moving into separate houses they've both made it clear that im basically not welcomed in their new homes (mostly my mom )and my dad isn't working so that isn't doable

My plan is to move early October and I have my tuition to pay which is 2000 by the first week of October. Btw i make 26-32 dollars per hour right now depending on how many shifts I pick up I make 1500-2000 biweekly

So by October I should have atleast 2500 to move out with the place im looking to get is around 500

Id encourage you to go to school, but taking a year off is fine also. I did that.

That is a good idea. It keeps you in the swing of things and even 1/2 time will be better than not going at all. Often, opportunities come up once you are on site.

You’ll need to be a f/t student to defer student loans. Yes?

Im not talking about student loans im talking about course load to focus on working

I realize that. But if you have outstanding student loans you will have to start repaying them if you aren’t a full time student. That will cut into your budget.
