Leaving home, gathering funds, earning an income. How did you do it?

I'm generally curious as how everyone else went about leaving home (For those who have)

And for those that still live with their parent/parents, have you ever considered leaving?

I'd like this to a be a serious thread, so try to keep posts OP related.

Well, I cannot leave my house due to age. If I WAS to leave my house doe, I'd most likely have to work 3 jobs just to sustain myself(I use electricity like a bitch + food and stuff like that).

I can legally at the age of 16 in the UK, I would love to as I live in a household with my mother, and we really don't get along.. But I wouldn't be able to sustain myself.

Trust me when I say, I know the feels.

I plan on living with my mom until I finish high school, but if you want to move out try smaller towns around you they tend to be a lot cheaper to live in

I couldn't sustain living on my own. Full time student while also a full time athlete. There is literally no time to work a job. And if you could work a job, you wouldn't make nearly enough to fund yourself. I won't be moving out any time soon. Outside of living in an apartment at school.

Become a drug dealer, worked out well for plenty of people who are smart about it.
