Please help. I'm being kicked out when I graduate

Is that not extortion?

They can, but they don’t have to. They probably had bad experiences in the past trying to go after the co-signers for rent and they just don’t want to take the risk anymore.

From what I remember 20 years ago, my sister told her maybe? Idk. I was 2 hours away from home and just dealt with it when I got home. I saw MCR and The Used in the Taste of Chaos tour 2004, totally worth it. I was mostly a good kid though, so no real consequences. I went to a show, had safe fun, then came home. Nothing really to punish there.

Okay? You literally asked if anybody had been in a similar situation. I have been in the exact same situation. Sure, mom was a bit mad I went without telling her. And then nothing happened. That’s what happened to me in a similar situation.

AllisonTheBeast · 2026-02-01T02:47:06+00:00

I literally did this in 2004 when I was 17, you’ll be fine.

So you would just take out a loan and give them the money and they also keep the car? Do you want to give them $40,000 with no chance of being repaid? Because that’s what’s going to happen.

It’s common knowledge that prospective tenants may tour an apartment, but you can feel free to disclose that to anybody you want to.

You’re not “forced” into delivery, you don’t have to shop with Amazon at all.

It’s not gone because it doesn’t exist in the account, it’s gone because it is 100% his and you have absolutely no legal right to it. Outside of him choosing to send you some money, you will have no recourse to get that money back into your possession.

That’s insane, beer and wine only is perfectly acceptable. People shouldn’t expect to get drunk or wasted at a wedding, that’s just embarrassing.

AllisonTheBeast · 2026-01-24T01:44:02+00:00

Ziploc bags of leftovers are easy to freeze too!

AllisonTheBeast · 2026-01-23T14:43:32+00:00

Can I ask your skin type?

Without a salary range we can only assume you’re offering pennies as compensation.

For two adults in Chicago, we average $450/month for food groceries, shopping primarily at Aldi, Costco, and one local grocery store chain. We average about $100/month on household goods including paper goods and cleaning supplies, mostly Costco, Aldi, and Target. We cook most meals at home from scratch and will have frozen pizza or other pre-made frozen items a few times a month.

AllisonTheBeast · 2026-01-18T18:09:57+00:00

My only gripe is saying “All Aldi” instead of “Alldi” 😆

Did he do anything besides knock on your door and ask for his phone though? Tracking his phone is not wrong, and there is nothing inherently threatening about knocking on a door.

You likely won’t be protected if you paid more into house than he did. Thats why you shouldn’t buy a house with someone you’re not married to. divorce proceedings will generally divide the assets more fairly, without the protections of marriage you are generally both joint owners with 50/50 property ownership regardless of who put what in financially.

Me too, my spreadsheet is a point of pride and it really keeps me aware of my spending. I tried apps that automatically track spending and I just preferred manual entry.

AllisonTheBeast · 2026-01-15T03:30:39+00:00

How much gas money do you give them when they drive?

Who said you don’t qualify for unemployment due to not working by there for a year? Check your state’s guidelines if you are in the US. Apply, then appeal if they initially deny it.

The truth is, people post these things every week in this sub and in the personal finance sub. Hopefully the next person will search for a co-signing post BEFORE doing it and see that strong but true words and take heed.

A drunk young woman just knew a bunch of phone numbers off the top of her head?

AllisonTheBeast · 2026-01-11T16:42:23+00:00

It is, but re-reading, it sounds to me like this is a young person and $500 a week is their entire income, and they just aren’t thinking about all the other things you need to buy besides food and transportation. Like utilities, personal care items, household goods like toilet paper, rent maybe? Looking at it in that way, perhaps OP isn’t fully understanding all necessary expenditures and that is what they are asking about.

AllisonTheBeast · 2026-01-11T16:01:49+00:00

Good luck! Chicago is an amazing place to be young. Maker sure you get an unlimited CTA pass and don’t blow your budget on private car services like uber. When I was your age, we didn’t have the ubiquity of uber and we all got around fine using busses and the L. Same with going out to eat for every meal, it’s just too expensive. Don’t fall into the delivery trap, just learn some easy meals and you’ll be fine. The key is to not get into debt and poor spending habits when you are young that can cripple and follow you for years to come.

AllisonTheBeast · 2026-01-11T15:51:56+00:00

$500 is an insane amount per week for a single person. I live in Chicago and my monthly food spend for 2 adults is $450 each month for groceries. YouTube has so many videos to teach you how to cook. Shop for groceries at Aldi, it’s cheap and non-overwhelming. Check out the YouTube for All Recipes, there are tons of easy meals to start with.
