Thank you for sharing. I do believe you can be on your own. I know it's tough but I believe it is doable.

Well I don't know about the house. The issue with the house for me is that things break and you will need to either fix or pay someone to fix and that is expensive. Maybe a small condo or a townhouse? I am not sure it is realistic to save that much money unless you have a very nice income. I personally will never buy a house by myself and I have a stable income, but can't save enough and have too much debt.

I am just being realistic here not trying to discourage. But you are saying even basic tasks of keeping house clean are hard and how would that be on your own? Now small place like one-two bedroom would be manageable on your own.

Investing might be an idea but I am afraid of investing. I mean I have 403b (with measly amount) but I have the kind that zero risk. My parents lost almost 100k when market crashed few years ago. Is your sister an investor? People do invest, just not me

As about bed what kind of things are on the bed? Can you get a trash bag and put stuff in the bag? Then put the bag on the floor? It might easier than dealing with bins.

Could you call or go to vocational rehab center of sorts and talk about reasonable jobs/income/housing. Just to get an idea if you can live on your own and how much you need to make to do that?
