You've received some very sound advice. Yes, your oldest D needs to contribute. When I was 20, I was a senior in college and had been earning money since I was 9 and I'm certainly not unique in that regard. I took out loans and paid for the raining part of school myself. Again, it's not a bad thing to ask your D to contribute.
There are all kinds of ways of being thrifty and I understand the home part. However, you don't want to spend the vast majority of your income on housing, coupled with utilities and you could find yourself in an extremely precarious position. Is the house close to work? Please keep in mind any potential unexpected expenses (automotive). Does this position have benefits?
Please know I am not trying to be a downer. I'm thrilled that you have the chance to start anew with your girls and have a job opp you are excited about. However, I'm just encouraging you to prep as best you can.
