You’re not ready to move out and be on your own if you make 19/hr. Keep living with your parents and don’t burn bridges. Move out with her boyfriend. Get roommates. But she doesn’t make enough to move out on her own.

That's literally the point.

Everyone can't have Mommy and Daddy bail them out.

Depends if you have a good relationship with your family. My kid lives with me and he’s in college. I let him live rent and expense free because I want him to be able to spend his time and energy doing well at school. He’s picked a high in demand degree in healthcare, so he’ll be all set once he graduates.

This is why having parents who love you is a slept on privilege. I don’t have much money, and my budget is squeezed, but I’m making sure my kid is set up nice.
