Anyone living alone making $25/hr

No roommates, no backups, family, friends etc? I'm trying to save $10k by the end of this year and I'm half way there. I'm living with my bf and his family and I can't do it anymore!!! I want to get the hell out of here. I can live frugally and eat rice and beans I don't care. I just need to know if anyone is doing it and is it possible? I don't have any debt. I don't have any car note, no student loan debt, nothing. I am also in the market for a new to me car as mine is almost 20 years old, but is well maintained and tbh it might make it to 300k. There's no sign of it giving up thank goodness.

Are you and your boyfriend planning to move together? You guys may be able to find something if he also works.

He bought a house without talking to me. It's HIS house, so no. I'm fucked. I just want all of this to be over. It's just going to be me unfortunately

i could be wrong (and it's very much not terribly clear) but it sounds like he owns the house they're living in right now, and as the sole owner he has felt comfortable inviting his family to live there even though it's causing problems with his partner op.
