feeling like ima get kicked out as soon as thy find out I’m pregnant
So I’m 21 & live with my mom and stepdad. I’m about 6 weeks pregnant by my fwb. We have decided to keep it and he has said he’s going to help with the baby.
Now I’m a full time college student & a part time worker making $13 + tips an hour. I average about 20 hrs a week.
. I have my own car , it’s under my name but the insurance is under my moms. But I pay the insurance, it’s like 1,200 every six months.
I have about almost 2k saved.
Since I decided to keep it , I’ve decided to hide it as long as I can so I can save more money before I tell them .
I say they will kick me out because my mom and stepdad at very different times have said if me or my sister end up pregnant, they will kick us out & I believe them because my stepdad kicked out his teenage son because he was doing drugs & didn’t want him near us
My mom is the type to believe in the sex till marriage, thing is I’m single , I haven’t spoken to her about any boys at all & she knows where am at all the time.
I need advice if I’m being honest, I don’t know what I’m doing and I really don’t have a lot of people to ask.
Thing is I am able to save money but I also spend money badly especially on fast food. I can eat out at least twice a day . I usually buy food for me and my 2 younger sisters so imagine it’s like 30-40 bucks each time.
Clearly I have to stop buying fast food & save that money I think that will help me.
I plan on taking out 150 outta each pay check and putting it in my savings account . I also do like the $5 challenge, im doing a $20 challenge that I started last month & the 100 envelopes challenge
That I started a year ago 😅.
For me getting kicked out, I’m thinking I can ask my dad if I can stay at his apartment until I find my own place . I have been working at my job for 2 years now about to be 3 but I don’t think it’s enough to live on my own so I don’t know how to go about that, ( I don’t think ima getting paid enough )
I have one friend who offered to share her room with me but I don’t think I’ll take her offer since her mom is friends with my mom
I also have another friend who said worst case I can stay with her , in her kids room in the mean time but she lives 30 minutes from my house & maybe like 45 from my job .
I also will ask for more hours at work too, starting in feb . I wanna save as much as I can.
I pay for my school stuff I don’t qualify for fafsa yet, I need 11 hours of credits to qualify, so I’m hoping after this semester I qualify as I am taking 15 credits . If I stay in school I would graduate spring 2024 ,
I’ll have baby around early September 2023 , I’m hoping to still be in school.
So I can have my degree and be proud of something.
Honestly I am scared , I did not want to abort it because I’ll regret it tbh, I’ll always be thinking about it.
I’m scared because I’m a very sentimental person and a crybaby , I’m so emotional. I’m afraid of the bad parts these upcoming months. I just hope I’m strong enough to keep pushing through.
Ik they will get mad and be disappointed & feel like I disrespected them. But at the same time I want them to be there for me and be supportive as they will become grandparents.
I don’t need any negative comments, just advice and maybe personal experience if you can relate.
Any tips on saving money.
