How are we going to afford this??

Im 17 and my mom is crazy and im getting out of the house as soon as I turn 18. Im going to move in with my boyfriend, he just bought a house and it was 80,000. he has a job and im going to get a job as soon as I turn 18. we have 2 dogs to feed and a cat. as if groceries for ourself and household supplies arent expensive enough. Im going to college and I don’t know how im gonna pay for that and gas for both of us and we both have car insurance and the cell phone bill and lights and water. He keeps telling me everything will work out but im just scared that money is going to be short and were going to ruin our credit. were cutting back and saving as much as we can. I don’t know what else to do

You should also take up small jobs like babysitting and pet sitting. That might help put a little extra cash in your pocket. Shop for food at Target or a store like that, where they are cheap. And cut back on unnecessary things. You could also ask for some money from your mom if things get too tight.

I wish I could help somehow. :/ good luck though.
