I use credit cards for some songwriting expenses and lifelock. Otherwise I'm taking money from every check for savings. I get two checks from work and one from SSD. The last two paychecks were higher so I could save more. The month just started but I'm tightening my belt.

I have rented on my own twice before. My brother has said if i stay living with mom he'll use our inheritance to buy me a place after she's died. But he want me living with her because we both are happier having company.
