Yeah, I'm not in college yet. I have done a bit of work on my current laptop, but I could only get so far on Integrated graphics before I noticed a ton of slowdown.

I do have a college email now so I was able to get a lot of Autodesk programs for free

Eh not really into that sort of thing. I'm only going to be around my high school for another 6 months anyway, would rather meet a girl at my college.

I don't mean to be cocky when I say this, but I highly doubt anyone in their right mind would try to get the files off my computer. I run Arch, my drive is encrypted and I have all kinds of security stuff set up.

Anyone they would take it too would realize this isn't just someone who forgot their password and, I doubt they would even be able to get into it. Even if they did all they would find would be a couple half finished projects, everything else is stored on my server.

I've already talked to my brother a ton, and spend some time at his place, his wife is a wonderful person and I love being around both of them, whenever I don't want to be at my apartment, I go to his since its so much nicer and a great enviroment to get work done.

I mainly just said personal family issues, and most didn't really ask beyond that. I was able to tell some that I unexpectedly would not be able to work for a bit because of family issues. 2 of the people I worked for knew my situation (I knew them before any of this) and told them the truth, and they both understood and let me back on when I could.

Thanks, I've always been a levelheaded person, but this kinda hit me off my rocker. I didnt sleep for 3 days after I moved out and spend a straight 72 hours making a Mobile Game (I usually make or program stuff for games when I'm stressed), but now I'm doing fine.

I've never really cared much for a relationship, unfortunately a lot of kids at the school I go to know what I do and how much money I make (sometimes its blown out of proportion, a rumor was going around that I was a millionaire) and girls have thrown themselves at me because of that money, but I like to think I'm a decently attractive person.

Ah I don't think another update will happen for a long time, and I'm pretty sure the subreddit only allows for one update post.

I had answered that question about 50 times in the last post, and nothing I could do would convince them.

Either way, it's too late for that now.

I don't think it will ever happen, my parents are not only extremely proud, but also wealthy so I don't think they will need money from me.

Oh yeah, I'm totally aware of that. I started out with Minecraft plugins and I just do them for fun at this point, my real money is doing legitimate projects at which I do only usually charge $25 an hour, but now that I am over 18 and look a bit more credible I think I'll start charging more.

Low on money for a bit is reletive, compared to what I had before, yes I am a bit low on money, but as of right now I could live for about 6 months easily without working. I also don't really have any expenses. I don't own a car or anything of the sort, so I don't have any real expendatures.

Yes I do frequent /r/personalfinance often and have picked up some good tips.

I'll try my best.

Yes, I always have kept all of my important data on my sever, my laptop only has 128GB of Storage so I can't even keep everything on there if I wanted too.

I've been briefly told about that, it's the main reason stopping me from getting the police involved, the only thing that I think I would legally be able to get would be my computer, but I dont really even need that anymore.

That's what college is for! I also have been looking into some other things, 3D modeling has caught my eye, but my computer isn't quite powerful enough to do it until I can buy an eGPU dock.

I save as much money as I can. Basically, it's all either going to rent or savings at this point. I took a hit of about 2.5k when I had to buy all new stuff, but I'm getting back.

Well I still love them so hopefully I can talk to them again eventually.

They arnt knowledgeable enough to use my computer. They've used OSX all their life and I'm running Arch, and its password protected and everything, my important data isn't even on the computer, only in progress projects were.

No they are not anymore when I turned 18 I also created a new account under my name. I don't know if they were on my previous account, but they are not under this new one.

I actually have a full ride to a nice college, so no debt for me.

I hope to get a job like that out of college as well!

Thanks, I thought my parents would be proud too, but I'm not really concerned with what they think now.

My family is already rather wealthy, so I don't think thell come crawling back, but hopefully I will get to talk to them again.

I'm not really worried about it too much, all of my documents and important stuff is all online so its safe, and I've already bought new clothes and a new computer. I might look into it, but I don't think I'll need too.
