Thanks. I think I can learn to live on my own, too. I'd live in an apartment if I could afford it, or a condo or townhouse, but those aren't my first choices. I'm just saying I would consider it. I don't have debt, but I'm wondering if I should get a credit card in order to build more of a credit history. I'm nervous, though, because you can easily go into debt.

Cleaning a place, I could handle if it were clean from the start and I could set things up as l wanted (and needed) to. My idea is to sparsely furnish it, so there's less cleaning but plenty of space.

Investing was my sister's idea, I think. I might have asked about it first, but I can't remember. I wondered if it was a way I could grow my money. I know nothing about it, but I figured it might be something to consider.

No, I couldn't put my stuff in garbage bags, because they could easily rip, but also because the bag would get dusty real fast. The floor needs to be cleaned up before I can put anything in that spot, anyway. I didn't really want to put things in the location, because it's right in front of dusty curtains, but I don't know where else I'd put things. Items include books, magazines, meds, diet soda, DVDs, tissues, bag for the tissues and trash (I have dry eye, so I go through a lot of tissues), and a few other things.

I think it was my pdoc who told me women's shelters might be able to help me learn how to live on my own. I'm not abused, but I figure I could ask for the information.
