Input question

Create a comprehensive game plan for a 21-year-old female living at home with a bipolar parent, working 10 hours/week at $15/hr and paying $200 rent. The plan must integrate three core pillars: 1. Financial growth (increasing hours or finding better pay), 2. Educational and mobility milestones (completing the GED and securing a driver's license), and 3. Mental health/boundaries (navigating the difficult home environment). Provide actionable, small steps to build stability and eventually move out.
