Repost since my old one got locked please be respectful and understand that im f19 who was sheltered my whole life and im inexperienced
I only want some general advice and i do not need to share every detail of my life for it.
Im planning to move out probably next year because i live with toxic parents, im currently on dependent visa but i will be switching to student visa when i get into uni next year.
I do not have PR even tho ive lived here my whole life and i do not need to give the reason for it.
Im fluent in speaking japanese but i lack in kanji as i studied in an international school my whole life in japan and they do not teach past n4 and i also didnt study myself past it (planning onto study soon tho)
What i want: place to stay (affordable rent as my budget is tight since im on dependent)
But i can also earn some more as a side hussle (taxation etc ill figure it out)
I currently live in tokyo but I dont mind going somewhere else if its cheaper like chiba or yokohama
My budget is around 48-80k for rent and what not (im still a little clueless so please educate me if something is weird these are the prices i saw when searching for share houses which included utilities and everything else)
Im able to earn around 120k from work and another 30-50k from art commissions and i also have savings.
I wont be in school while im on dependent (probably 1-2 more years that ill be on dependent) so i wont be needing to pay for school or anything until then so its truly just living outside of my family’s house just to have some peace.
NOTE before dming:
I have a boyfriend (he lives in america its gonna be a while until i can live with him so no i cant just move in with him) do not dm me if you think im single and you want a young female living with you or help me out thinking i might give back favors of any sort that is inappropriate.
Please do not think im a vulnerable and gullible young woman i know what you are doing!! 😭 and ive gotten many dms from weirdos
For anyone who is saying its not possible to live without my family on dependent, just to let you know my brother who lives alone was on dependent for 2 years while doing school.
And also i think after 2 years i can move in with him when he gets his own place in tokyo (he lives in kyoto rn) He said he would take me and my sister in so i always have that option !
