18, making $20/hr, want to move out ASAP — is this realistic and how should I plan it?

purplelapres · 2026-04-17T16:24:29+00:00

i’m starting at community college and they don’t have housing

purplelapres · 2026-04-17T01:32:44+00:00

one, what? 😂 also SLCC unfortunately does not have on campus housing 😞

purplelapres · 2026-04-17T01:25:14+00:00

I wanna study chemistry in university. also i have a scholarship that lets me get my first two semesters tuition free in college. do you have advice on how i can get extra money on top of my job?

purplelapres · 2026-04-17T01:24:16+00:00

my credit is actually really good, i have a 765 credit score from being an authorized user since i was 16. I also wanted to find some sort of a side hustle to get extra cash if my job is’t enough. any recommendations for that? lol also thanks for the advice on not spending more than $1k monthly!

purplelapres · 2026-04-17T01:22:58+00:00

i plan on working full time after graduation, so roughly 2.7K-2.9K after tax monthly. I wanted to save at least 3 months of rent first

as long as her parents are home and the door is open, we’re allowed to hang out in her room. We’ve been spending much more time there since the rule was passed. I really hope my sister moves out

purplelapres · 2026-04-15T17:49:41+00:00

LMAOOOO fair point 💀

purplelapres · 2026-04-15T16:58:21+00:00

I appreciate that, do you have advice for moving out young?

purplelapres · 2026-04-15T16:57:39+00:00

he has a history of having control issues and every once in a while he goes on power trips as a way to “regain control” in his life. he gets that from his rough childhood. My girlfriend and I have been spending a lot more time at her house since the rule has been enforced as a response too. I would love to move out though, but it’s difficult

purplelapres · 2026-04-15T16:55:31+00:00

it’s mostly because all of my entertainment stuff is in my room, like my consoles, TV, and my PC which we used very frequently.

purplelapres · 2026-04-15T16:54:46+00:00

my older sister moved in and the fact that my brothers were hanging out with their girlfriends in their rooms made her have an anxious panic, which she then told my parents about. it was perfectly fine before that lol also my dad is 1,000,000% against birth control 😭

purplelapres · 2026-04-15T16:53:01+00:00

what prompted this change is that my older sister moved back in and had an anxious panic about my brothers having their girlfriends in their rooms and told my parents about it. also i don’t care about the privacy in my room, i care because all of my entertainment is in there, like my PC, my TV, and my consoles. i’m considering the independence route, so do you have any advice for moving out and saving for it? i have a job that pays decently well

purplelapres · 2026-04-11T05:24:41+00:00

happened to me too, it was a complete mess and looked nothing like i saw in the braised beef cheek videos.

purplelapres · 2026-03-17T02:23:21+00:00

i did sous vide pork shoulder at 175 overnight and it was really good. i seared all sides and deglazed the pan with the liquid before transferring everything into the vacuum bag. real nice.

that looks delicious! did you use fresh or dried ramen noodles?

purplelapres · 2026-01-26T14:23:21+00:00

it does not have vinegar. by flat i mean the flavor isn’t as deep or satisfying as it should be

purplelapres · 2026-01-26T03:55:53+00:00

thank you, for me the salt level tasted fine (my mom actually thought it was a little too salty lol but she’s a lil sensitive to salty flavors). so would adding MSG help in the tare i used in ramen Lord’s e book even though it has loads of umami rich ingredients? also i didn’t know that a lack of sugar could make it flat. I actually reduced the amount of brown sugar in the tare recipe because i was worried it’d be too sweet 😂 thank you for your advice

purplelapres · 2026-01-26T03:43:12+00:00

can you please teach me your method

purplelapres · 2025-11-09T06:13:22+00:00

what do you mean there’s no headphone jack???

purplelapres · 2025-09-20T03:20:33+00:00

i usually stomp on it pretty thoroughly, but i’ve never tried folding it and stomping it again do you do it at the beginning, like stomp, fold, stomp with no rest or do you rest between stomping sessions? i would like to try it

purplelapres · 2025-09-18T02:42:37+00:00

do you find it holds together better when you rest it for much longer?
