Today, I found out that my grandparents are going to take my car away and sell it because they're pissed I'm moving in with my boyfriend. FML

If it is legally not your car unfortunately they can do that. It does seem rather childish of them.

if your name is only one on the title they can't take and sell it.

You kids and your sense of self-entitlement. Grow the **** up. If you didn't put money into it, it's not yours. Unless it's your name on the title and registration, it's not ******* yours. Grow the hell up. All choices have consequences. Moving out before you own your own car means YOU DON'T GET TO KEEP IT, dumbass.

I guess the title is not in your name. They have the legal right I think. That totally sucks though.

Is the title in their name? If so there's nothing you can do. That sucks though.

if the car is in YOUR name they can't sell it they need your signature in order to switch owners

Wow... usually parents react this way when " their little girl is all grown up and moving away". Are you really close to your grandparents or something? Either way, don't let their actions influence your decision in moving in with your boyfriend, especially if that's what you really want. Worst case scenario, you save up some money with your bf. and get your own car :) Best of luck to you !

She must have been brought up by her grandparents, I guess

Or her grandparents just bought her a car and OP was still raised by their parents.

If you think you're old enough to move in together, you should be old enough to learn personal responsibility.. Such as getting your own car

Is the car in your name? If so then you are clear...

If you're not old enough to buy/pay for your own cars, you're probably not old enough to move out with someone.

Just because her grandparents got her a car doesnt mean she isnt old enough to move in with her bf. My grandparents are well off, and bought me a car for my 16th. Im not entitled, just blessed with a giving family. I realized how lucky I was, howuch money they were saving me, and I kept that car until after I was married and had kids. I wasnt stupid enough to take on extra payments when I didn't have to. Its hard to know without more details, but OPs grandparents are the ones who are acting childish imo

But this makes it sound like she can't afford another one. In which case her grandparents may be giving, but feel she's not ready to move out on her own. In that case it's a good way to show her how to be responsible by either staying at home or buying her own stuff.

My mother is driving a car that's practically falling apart because we can't comfortably afford getting a new one. Should a 47 year old married mother of 2 move back in with her parent just because she can't have the added finical burden of a new car? Cars are no small chunk of change. Not being able to afford mil is one thing, and might indicate she shouldn't be moving out, but not being a able to afford a new car, which I doubt she factored in her budget since she thought she already had one? That's not really an indicator, since most independent adults would have trouble if they suddenly found themselves needed to cough up the money for a new car.

Just because you can't afford a car doesn't mean you're not ready to live on your own. A lot of people live on their own and function just fine with out cars.
