Hey can i get some advice from people who've left a home without family support?
I'm currently going to college but the combination of a shitty home life + having to do schoolwork and hangout with friends is really taking its toll and I'd like to leave.
My parents are fairly wealthy and have decided to pay for school and let me use their car, but if I leave I won't have a car or any money.
My plan was to get a job, save up about 1200 and then leave if I have to (things have been getting pretty bad) and sleep on a friends couch until I can afford an apartment.
Thoughts? Things I haven't considered?

If they're offering money for school and their car there's a good chance they will give you some help with an apartment or something too. talk to them.

They've explicitly stated they won't and have followed through with my older brother and sister.
I'd go live with them but my older sister is at home now and my older brother is in Columbia teaching English.

not nearly enough.
I didn't have the luxury of wealthy parents and left home. Paid for school, worked my ass off, had a shitty room I could barely afford and starved. Rethink this. I agree you should get a job, doesn't have to be much but that will give you a little spending cash, make your parents respect those efforts and keep you away from home more. Enjoy the free ride cause feeding and housing yourself for life comes quick enough.
