i haven't been in here in a long time. i hope i can get some sound advice. i started a new job in the middle of last month at the college where i graduated from(graduated in 2010) with training and pays good but it's part time temp. it will be 3 weeks this tuesday since i have been there. i finished therapy last month as well which i am glad it is over nothing but arguing and projection towards me anyway.
this job is entry level which i got it from friending the manager on linkedin in the IT field. i am doing call center and help desk on fridays, but not doing the network admin part. anyway, this job is temp long term so every 6 mos i gotta reset my password and i was told by someone to start looking for internal positions to get full time.
i am learning how to really save my money and i would like to move out later on. like i said this job is long term, comes with no benefits and get paid every 2 weeks. so, what i am trying to do is plan this carefully in case if something happens to this job later on if the IT dept decides to make some changes. some would say just there to build enough work history (who's keeping jobs in today's economy?) or get a 2nd job, i barely started the job dont see how i could be possibly thinking about a 2nd job i would like to stay at the college where i graduated from.
i found some places in another city (my city is not cheap at all) and i have gotten a good education on apartment hunting and what to ask. i told my bf that i will not live in another bad neighborhood like the one i am in now dont care how cheap it is, it better be at least decent with low crime. i came from a neighborhood in cali that was nice and clean (it got worse after we left) and not used to a crap neighborhood. i will not settle for less (i was 10 when we moved here in 96), if i have to keep looking for something better i will. other cities further are expensive like chandler and gilbert. mesa is cheap, too mormon for me, and too much crime most of mesa is a slum (has a high amount of pedophiles).
i do plan on speaking to a financial adviser or someone about budgeting. in the past, i wasn't that good at budgeting as i had no teaching and was trying to do it all on my own. so yea, i am weighing a lot of pros and cons about this long term temp job. my parents have no idea i have a job right now they still think i am volunteering. i got my first check and plan on opening up direct deposit hopefully tomorrow to really start saving, i dont want to be at home any longer more misery that i will keep enduring forever if i stay here and i want a place for myself where i can have quiet and peace since i never had quiet in my life!
my credit isn't good and i do have student loans plus a credit card. right now, i am not at the mind set of how i am gonna pay them off but i do want to pay off the CC first when the time comes.
i am also learning about housekeeping and getting better at it. so, any suggestions/tips?

I need to work on my credit card debt, too. And tighten my budget. Sounds like you're creating a good plan and I admire that. Seems like it takes so much to live anymore. I'm starting little funds - separate from each other for specific things. Like a savings fund for new furniture that I really need. I put a few dollars in that fund every pay period. Even if it's only $10, it adds up. Keep doing what you're doing, and you'll be ok. Good luck to you!

Most of the people in that group are toxic parents and I wrote a post about why a child would want to get away from their parents. The scary thing is, there's way more support for toxic parents than victims of toxic parents. The Estrange parent from adult child group has like 2,000+ people... Who don't seem to understand that they caused the estrangement, they think it's the kid's fault and...
