^agree with post above.

Anywho as for moving in with the grandparents there is a reason he did move out and I can understand why he wouldnt want to go back, he was treated extremely poorly by his other family members who dont like him. With what I ve read over the years he has been on here it would be bad for him to move back with them.... thats why he moved in the first place. I do agree he needs to go get a job though and you can have one on SSI if you work under so many hours.... so thats what he needs to do and earn some of that money instead. Also needs to learn how to manage money... honestly if he just spent money on feeding his fish, got a large bottle of prime do decholr etc. (which will last for a lonnnng time cuse a few drops treats a large amount of water) and replaced the filter material when needed it shouldnt cost that much to keep them, I don't know why you spend so much on them and you shouldnt be buying dechlor or food on a monthly basis if you buy right. Managing money is the key. He says he gets almost $800.
If his total bills are under $320-380 like he said then he should have say $420 left over. I dont believe he has a car? so I wouldnt worry about gas. If he wants to eat healthy for one person shouldnt cost more than $100 a month.. (i eat healthy and we buy for two and we dont spend a lot). Now he has $320 left over... ok so this is what he can save... rent/electric/water is already paid and food has been bought. Say put $20 a side in a jar incase he needs to buy filter material for his tank. Now he has $300 and no NEED to spend it on anything..... so put that in the bank and save it. Dont get internet or cable or any other luxury and just save that money... at the end of the year you should have $3,600 saved up. Now of course things dont always work this way and sometimes you need an extra $40-80 if you over spend on grocerys or something. Again you need to learn to manage money and live with in your means... those are probably your means. You have a roof over your head, electricity and water... you can buy healthy that is what you NEED to live. Get a job. Worry about everything else later. Learn how to grocery shop for healthy foods, sales, etc.. and what you actually need... dont waste money on junk food.
 
Find a job, even if the money you earn from your job gets deducted from your SSI, don’t worry about that…. You will be stuck in your situation forever if think like that. You can at least earn more money working then being on SSI. Hopefully the money you earn working will be more then what you get being on SSI and you won’t need SSI anymore.

Whatever your situation is… you get almost $800 month guaranteed. If you just spend wisely and smart, you should be ok.

Hear! Hear!. That's the kind of bending you should be into. That should propel you to some measure of success being independent.

BTW, wearing a wig or dyeing your hair, wearing colored contacts, and putting on sprayed on Tan might help with your self esteem on your job hunt. I think you worry too much about people's reaction about your genetic condition. Get over it, people with more disadvantages have become very successful folks. Good luck and best wishes with your future endeavors.

Ok so you save, the move out and then the savings is gone in a few months. Then what?

How much rent do you pay the grandparents?


SO how come you dont have a job yet? or have you not looked yet?
Some jobs are hard to find but a entry level position should not be hard at all.
 
I think it would be safe to move out after you master all of the elements. But in more realistic terms, you should either go to school, or get a steady job.
 
You already moved in and out and now moving back in with your grandparents. DO NOT MOVE BACK OUT AFTER YOU SAVED $1200 or whatever. SAVE ENOUGH where all bills are covered for at least 1 year (like $10,000) and that money is not to be touched UNLESS you need it to pay bills because you lost your job or something like that. You need to save more then $1200 to live comfortably even in Wisconsin and then even remotely think about moving out again. Once you move out on your own… YOU SHOULD TRY TO NEVER MOVE BACK in with the folks. The best advice everyone is giving you is find job or best… go back to school and learn a trade. Move back in with your grandparents for 2-3 years and go to trade school. I am sure you will qualify for some kind of financial aid. Does not even have to be trade school, community college have a lot of programs also. You got to think LONG TERM. This living on $30/week is going to catch up to you very soon.

2-3 years sounds like a long time, but trust me... It's like blink of eye only.

This is America you live in… You have more opportunities then a lot of people. Get going and get on the grind.

He's to busy learning how to bend elements. Haha

In all seriousness though, get a job so u can pay for college. The USA is quickly getting away from labor jobs and moving towards skill jobs, to attain a skill job u must go to school those who don't end up living on 800 a month which you can see isn't very well. If you want to have a good life go to school and do well, there are so many opportunities in this country to better yourself the only reason you can't is if your to lazy to take advantage of the opportunities presented
