I’m 18 and I wanna move out of this hellhole I live in(with my dad, step mum, 5 siblings)… I do need help on how I could start living financially and independent… I do have a job, little savings, no credit account

Apply to as many jobs as you can/ are interested in. Don’t move out before or as soon as you get your job if you can help it. Then once you start earning money track every dollar and allocate 50% of your take-home pay to needs (rent, groceries, utilities), 30% to wants (dining out, hobbies, subscriptions), and 20% to savings
