    hi 22 years of age , have one year work experience in office admin and recently found out Im 2 months pregnant . Getting very stressed recently due to being in fas course having no job and having to give away half my wages everyweek to debt collector and my family for living at home. Im just looking for advice on what to do with my life?

    I ve been offered a job in the uk and thinking of taking that job up since Im getting really down over being stuck in Ireland and having my family that I live with complain non stop about being too old living at home taking up space and just being a waster. I don't drink havent for the last year and just feel like a useless person . So me and my boyfriend want to move abroad but his passport is out of date and were just worried about him trying find a job and only have about 1000 between us saved away to move over and try get a roomshare .

    Just makes me feel so bad that Im a waste and that Im pregnant and my older sister keeps telling me how bad of a parent I will be and I cant even take care of myself.

    Note Im the only member in my family that has never been arrested or in trouble and I feel sometimes I get excluded for not being happy to live on the dole and get called stuck up because I want to better my life . Being on a fas course just makes me feel worse everyday and living here in ireland doesn't make it any better so any advice

    Your family sounds obnoxious for a start. Congrats on your pregnancy! A new start sounds like a good plan for your future. Never let anyone, family, foe or friend put you down like that op.....remember its their issue not yours. I cant give you financial advice but i would urge you ensure ye have a lot more security than 1000 if ye decide to leave

    Congratulations on your pregnancy! Have you applied for any benefits as yet? If you're not living with your bloke, then you could probably get One Parent Allowance, and certainly Child Benefit.

    I'd also look to move out. Living with your family can't be doing you any favours. The money you have saved can go towards a deposit and first month's rent. Keep emigrating on the back burner for now. That isn't a priority at the moment, IMO. Getting somewhere for you and your baby to live in a comfortable and stress-free environment is key.
