Debating whether to move

Silver

I def would move out lol, I would never stay at an ex's place, or somewhere that they have free access to (you never know what they might do after a bad breakup, best to try to stay as safe as possible)

I've been a Drifter every since I got outta the USN & GULF WAR. Moving was always an exciting time for the discovery of the new area. For me, I'm about to hopefully be approved for a place in Venice, CA...ON THE BOARDWALK.  IF I get this place, I'll probably NEVER MOVE AGAIN !!!

I agree with what some of the other people have been saying... that moving out might be the best option. 

That being said,  I know you also stated that rent (where you're at) is much more affordable compared to some other rental places.... so until you DO find an affordable place to rent,  maybe you can try putting the balance (between what your current rent is where you're at & what the avatar rent is in your area) into an emergency savings account? That way you can have an idea of how what/where you'll need to make adjustments in your budgeting before you have to make those adjustments for real? Plus,  you'll have the added bonus of having that safety net put aside should something unexpected come up (reduced work hours/ switching jobs, unexpected medical leave without pay, etc).

Also,  I would suggest being upfront about considering looking for somewhere else to live (but keep your savings account to yourself).... that way [your ex's dad] can also prepare to make adjustments to his budgeting as well & not be blindsided (it's best not to burn bridges with someone who has been helping you, if possible).

It's good to hope for the best, but to also be prepared for the worst. 

I wish you the very best, in whatever you decide to do.  

Moving out is the safest bet trust me you might not be safe currently 

Very cool

Just see this but honestly life is too short I would rather struggle financially for a short time and be happy in my personal life, you can always hustle on selling things no longer needed, cut, reduce extra spending it's only temporary. I live in California and everything is expensive here, since my split with me ex I handle all the bills just had to find that balance to make it work and not downgrade my living situation. Do what's best for you and smile knowing it will all work out.

I think the part I should clarify is ex doesn't live here any longer and. I pay a fraction of what I'd pay elsewhere and I can barely afford this rent I'm a single chick w 2 jobs Trying to get by I don't smoke butts to expensive I don't drink or drug sober 3 yes but I can't afford to live if I move I can barely pay to eat  so if my rent was a normal rate I don't know what I'd do go camping I n the sidewalk like a ton of people in this area have been forced to do since rwnt jumped 3fold in the last couple years it's rough

Change also can be good I can be scary but at the same time it could be exciting and fun you never know until you get there

Fear not
