I’m the same age, and in a similar situation to you. I’m not self-reliant yet, but I’m living in my grandfather’s house who recently passed away, so now I’m going through the transition process of living on my own. My problem is trying to find a job and an apartment where I can sustain myself. This seems to be impossible without a college degree.
For several years I was working entry-level jobs (retail; telephone tech
support) and living by myself. The “trick” was that I shopped around for a
place with low rent. (This may be harder where you live. I’m in a suburb of
Detroit, Michigan.)
Right now I’m a computer programmer, despite not having any degree.
Yep, that’s what I’m looking for doing at the moment. There are places around here for around $400/month; but first I’m trying to find a place with a somewhat higher wage.

Good luck (and sorry about your grandfather).
