A tiny bit worried...

Iamadored

Thanks for the links. The situation is clearly far more complicated than would appear from this thread alone.

The OP pays £20 a week (not a month), but that is still very cheap for board and lodging.

If he is worried he may not manage to keep up that payment, although he is earning £1k a month, then I would say he is definitely not ready to move out and go it alone.

I do have to congratulate the OP for using this forum to ask for help and advice on a regular basis. It shows initiative and good sense.

To be fair, I am more of a private person so am not the person who goes out every weekend when asked by my work colleagues because I never do due to financial troubles, so my money is spent on me for work lunches, mobile phone contracts, credit card bills and maybe even clothes.

I get £1,000 a month, so there is no reason why I wouldn’t be able to afford the measly £20 a week. It’s just the ‘what if’ as in what if I get made homeless if I turn around to her one day and say ‘I can’t afford it’ and get made homeless?

If I can’t afford it, I can’t afford it...

And what if your mum loses her job and she can't just afford it either.

You have to have plans in place for this kind of thing.

OP, Having read a couple of your other threads, I would like to see you in a flat of your own, ideally in sheltered accommodation, and have a permanent support worker, and long term counselling for your anxiety.

I don't know how feasible that would be.

But you are a long way from being ready for living alone. You have to realise that if you had a flat of your own, 90% of your income would be eaten up paying for rent, food, council tax, gas, electricity, water rates, etc.

You would need to learn to shop around for the best deals, and generally live more frugally.
