I want to move out but I can't afford it

#1
I feel like I'm in a vicious cycle. I want to move out but I can't afford a studio or one bedroom. I can't afford one because I don't have a well paying job. I don't have a well paying job because I haven't completed college yet. I haven't completed college because I owe the school money. I'm tired of living with my aunt. I have to say where I'm going if I want to leave, if I'm gone long enough she wants to know where I am. She makes me go to church which makes my depression worse. She will lecture me on any little mistake I made. Whether it's chores, or I do something that was "wrong". She acts like I'm a problem for her. If I ask her to do something for me she acts like it's an inconvenience. I hate it when she goes into my room for something because I feel like she's stepping into my personal space. I hate the parties she has sometimes. They're loud and it makes me anxious. I like quiet. I feel like she's concerned about me for the wrong reasons. She knows about my depression but she doesn't bother to help. She doesn't ask how I feel or what's depressing me. Even if she did she'll wave it off. She also comes off as unapprochable. She acts like she's too busy. I thought about going back to my dad but things were not great living with him growing up. He was emotionally abusive. And he somewhat still is in a way. My other aunt said she would help me get an apartment in Tyler. But I recently landed a promising modeling career. Staying in Tyler would be too far for me to go back and forth.

Hi there. This is a conundrum many of us face, and have to play the waiting and saving up game basically.

Will the modeling career help you be able to afford moving out? Or paying what you owe and going back to college? You may have to do your best to save what you can, when and how you can, and then prioritise between college and your own place, or maybe looking into types of financial aid/scholarships or grants to maybe even push to do both.

It sounds like you have good goals though; don't be deterred by it taking a bit longer than you would like.

Is it possible to maybe get away from your aunt when she has her parties? Would she let you go to the cinema perhaps or by your other aunt for that night/weekend?

How about a "traditional" solution to this problem? Put yourself on a higher end dating site like eHarmony and look for guys in their mid to late twenties, maybe up to 30, who are working and successful. Do the whole "courting" thing and effectively let your aunt act as your chaperone. Make it clear you're looking for a traditional long term relationship, and you'll find a hardworking guy worthy of you. You can literally have a whole new life handed to you.

So back to looking for a room mate.... any thoughts on that? Another friend in a similar situation or who is also just looking to move out.
