Again I gotta agree with Kim.
With your mom paying your portion of the rent, your disability, bf’s job and you picking up a few hours there was no reason to say you couldn’t afford it. But in reality...even if we had said it would you have listened? You were all in.
Since then though it seems you’ve signed yourself up for quite a bit of additional debt (mattress, watches, another mouth to feed, vaccinate, etc.). And you’ve stopped working.
You can’t really be upset with people for encouraging you to move forward with life when you were [emoji817] convinced you were ready to move out just because you made some poor financial decisions in the interim.
It seems to me like you have 2 options. Move back with dad or you and bf need to pick up some work hours. Lots of young independent people work more than one job. When I was on my own I had a full time third shift job and a part time daytime job. When we had kids my husband started doubling his overtime. It sucked and we didn’t see a ton of each other but we were independent and self sufficient.
It’s hard but it’s worth it.
