Paying off the remaining debt I have from being unemployed plus new charges for the apartment I’m moving in. It’s just making me so sad and depressed. All this comes trying to navigate this new job that only pays 24 per hour, trying to also take a licensure exam for my career. As well as having this thought will I be living paycheck to paycheck? Will I just be surviving? Is this how most people are when they first move out…? Thoughts anyone?

Hi everyone, I got a question. I'm planning my moving out plan but because I'm single and single people aren't allowed to move out in my culture I've to plan and execute my plan in secret.

My question is what for awesome excuses I can use so I can go to the rental house viewing in secret. I'll not tell where I want to live exactly but I'm planning to live in a city which is a couple of hours with public transit from where I live now. I got only one excuse suggestion which if if the house viewing is in the morning or afternoon that I pretend that I go to school, skip the lessons to go to the house viewings secretly. If the viewing is in the evening it would be more difficult to go to the viewing secretly. Maybe I can tell my family I've to go to work but maybe I can also arrange that the viewings will be in the afternoon or morning but perhaps you got more excuse suggestion which could be a inspiration for how I can deal with this situation. I could also tell them I'm going to meet or I'll be doing something with someone but the last time I did that was more than a year ago so it will be a little bit sus for them. They'll also ask questions about the person who I'll be with to meet or doing something with them.

What are more awesome excuses I can use to go to house viewings secretly?

Thanks for your help, time and effort in advance!

Hi, so I'm in my late 20s near Manchester, UK and always lived with my family due to trauma/mental health issues. I've recovered a lot over the last two years and now I want to move out.

Looking to get a flat closer to the city centre but like...forgive me if this sounds silly but what are my first steps I need to take? I don't know where to start. I feel behind other people my age so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I want to move to Boston after graduating in May with a bachelor's degree in marketing. I have lived at home and worked during school so I am luckily graduating with no student loan debt, car payment, or any other kinds of debt. I do not have a job lined up at the moment, but my expected salary is going to be at least $40,000-$45,000. My budget for rent is $1,000 and I would move in with two friends, will I be able to afford this on this income? I am really nervous about moving out and I think I can swing it but I want to hear other people's opinions or experiences.

Hi! I’m just posting because I’m very anxious about moving to Austin. In you guy’s experience how is the cost of living and safety with living in Austin.

Thank you.

I’m currently (17f), and I graduate from high school in four weeks, and I’m turning 18 in about a month. I cannot stay at home and right now college isn’t guaranteed, I’m waiting on a waitlist decision and I applied to a few more institutions that still had open applications and high acceptance rates, but you never know. Anyways, I need to figure out how to move out as soon as I come of age, I currently have a stable job, and I’m planning on going full-time once I graduate, and I may a decent amount but the Bay Area is expensive and I don’t really know anybody or anything. Can someone give me advice?

Hey everyone,I could use some advice or maybe just some reassurance. I’ve been living in my condo for the past 3 years and really made it feel like home. My landlord has sold the place, so I have to move out. It’s hit me harder than I expected, and I’m feeling really depressed about it.

I did get approved for a new rental, so that’s a relief, but it doesn’t feel the same. I’ll be living there while I save up to hopefully buy my own place someday, but for now, it feels like I’m losing a part of my life that was really important to me.

Has anyone else been through this? Is it normal to feel this way when you have to move out of a place you’ve called home for a few years? Any tips on how to deal with these emotions and make the best of the new situation?

I am currently planning on moving out into an apartment (hopefully around $800-1,000) next year after I graduate college.

My plan was to have the following saved:

$10k for general savings $4k for furniture $1-2k for emergencies

Is this enough? I'm not sure and don't wanna underestimate my plans.

20 dollars an hour with a 900 dollar rent monthly and no car or school to pay for?

Hey guys I’m finally moving into my first apartment at 29 years old ! I’ll be living in chicago, in a 1 bedroom, is there any tips I should know? Any and all will be welcomed as this is the first time living completely alone

I applied to a building a year ago and got put on the waitlist. Got the call yesterday, have a viewing of the unit on Monday but I already know I'm going to want to take the unit since the rent is below market and in the perfect location for me. I'm just wondering how exactly waitlists work? Is there a chance I don't get the unit or because it is my turn on the waitlist do I get first priority? For context I have great credit, good references, no pets and the rent is only 30% of my income so I don't think I'll have any trouble with the application process. When I spoke with them they told me to email them after viewing the unit if i would like to proceed, which I assume means i have first priority but i just wanted to double check.Thanks!

will a 2000 sq foot house fit into a 26 foot Penske? Four bedrooms, dressers from each room, three beds with bedframes that break down, a small swing set that can be disassembled, weight benches and weights. Solar panels and wood frames, lawnmower, yard tools, A basement, taking a washer and dryer, a refrigerator, fold up tables with 8 chairs, entire pantry full of food stores and a lot of misc boxes and boxes full of the rest of our crap, tool chest with drawers. Is this going to fit in a 26 foot Penske?

very tired of living with my narcissistic mom, the environment in the house is incredibly unhealthy for me. i’m thinking of moving out next year, probably going to start looking at apartments at the end of this year. a thought crossed my mind though, should i get a car first or move out? i want to be very logical about this, i want an apartment close by to the hospital (im a nurse) so i could use public transit back and forth instead of wasting my money on parking. however a car would be convenient for grocery shopping & errands but intimately i wouldn’t mind if i moved out without a car for the first few years but i thought i would get other peoples opinion on the matter because maybe there’s something i am missing that could help me.

im thinking of saving $20k before moving out is that reasonable? i dont need a large space realistically i am a girl and i just want a cute lil place to call my home and hopefully live happily & peacefully.

if anyone has any advice for me regarding moving out, the process, financial advice & budgeting, or quite literally anything. i would be so grateful for it, im kinda in uncharted territory when it comes to the topic

Is there a way I can rent a uhaul and have one of the workers drive my things to my apartment. I have a drivers license. I can technically drive, but I have zero experience driving by myself let alone such a large distance in such a big truck. And now I cant ask friends or family to drive for me, I am on my own. I dont have a car either.

I want to start saving to move out and want to know how much I should be shooting for. I make about 1,900 a month after taxes and after current essential payments (health insurance, car payment, car insurance, medical debt) I would have about 1200 left. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Hello,
I will try to make this short, but I thought I might as well ask on here and see what people think since I can't exactly ask anyone in my real life: I have a very strong desire to move away to another country after finishing university, which I have the capability to do, primarily because there is unfortunately someone in my large extended family who s*xually abused me as a child and has continued to harass me over the years, and I still have to see him often as we are a very close family. I do not feel that I can safely tell anyone right now because I don't know how he would react to this and it frightens me very badly, although I know one day when I am safe I will tell people at least for the sake of safety for the children in our family.
My predicament is that although I would feel much safer in another country and enjoy living elsewhere (I know it is not all easy, but that is not what I am asking; there are pros and cons to everything obviously), the idea of leaving the rest of my family behind makes me really sad, especially since they are some of my only true friends. I have lived with them all my life so far and that transition just seems super difficult. Has anyone been through something similar and have any advice for dealing with this problem, or even just general advice for handling moving away from family emotionally? I would of course take things on reddit with a grain of salt, but I am curious what people may have to say in response. Also sorry if my writing style is odd lol. Thanks in advanced for any replies!

I have posted the same question in multiple forums because I am looking for advice, hopefully this is okay and I apologize if it is not.

Throwaway account here, I'm 20f and recently there's been a wave of crime in my city, including my house being broken into twice with my family still sleeping held at gunpoint and my car being broken into at multiple red lights with no valuables inside. I want to leave and live with my boyfriend in another state, but as the eldest child, I have to look after my mom and my sister. It's been nothing but stressful by draining me mentally and financially. Is this a selfish decision to make?

20f, very soon 21. i recently got offered to buy a trailer home by a family member of mine for 30-40k, and to me that sounds like a good deal considering the economy today. it's a 3bed, 2bath trailer. this family member agreed that i could pay 15k up front (which i have) and then pay off the rest with time, maybe monthly. i get that i'm young and staying at home with my family and saving up more money would be a good idea, but i would likely wait years before being able to afford my own space, cause i know renting can add up pretty bad. unfortunately, a trailer home isn't my ideal home, but that's not something i can care about in this economy and it beats an apartment.

i would have to be paying monthly for the land it's on, as well as other utilities like electricity and internet. the move in would be beginning may, and it would be just me for a month, but my sister and her friend (almost like a cousin) would be staying for 2 months in the summer before returning to school, in which we would be splitting bills during that time.

i currently live with my parents/siblings and share a room with my sister, sometimes with my cousin too when she stays with us (long story) so the room is feeling too packed for the 2 of us, even more so when it's 3 of us. i have no friends and no job/education opportunities around me, but the trailer home is closer to the city (an hour away from current home). i love the comfort of home, i get along with my family as well, but i get no privacy and have to follow a set of rules. so moving out will help with my independence and having my own proper space.

personally, it sounds like a good opportunity, but can't help but feel guilty for leaving and can't help but feel anxious about the whole financial aspect. i make enough to afford monthly stuff, but will be getting a 2nd job (part-time) to save money on the side. so thoughts? worth it or not? any opinions, or tips, appreciated :)

i am 25 and have always lived with my sister, or my mom, or both. currently i live with my niece (who calls me dad), my sister, my mom and stepdad. i got approved for an apartment.. my move in date is two weeks away but now i feel sad about leaving. i'm excited that i got accepted but i feel sad thinking about not living with my mom. doesn't help that there was some years as a teen that she was gone and my sister was raising me, so i think that contributes to not wanting to be separated. it's only 10 minutes away from where we live now. i thought i was ready but now i'm sad. my boyfriend will be moving here from out of state in a few months so i won't be alone for long, and i have two cats. maybe i should get a dog.. i don't know. i'm rambling on now. is this normal?

So im a 24 year old single male and want to get out of the house but im not 100% sure its the best route to go. Currently i drive 52 miles to and from work so 104 miles every day and that gets rather exhausting so looking at places within 25 miles. My dad is a horder so there is just constant and endless amounts of junk everywhere and of course to make matters worse my sister hordes animals so theres around 10 dogs 7 cats like 8 birds 2 or 3 rabbits and a lot others and im just sick and tired of it all. I buy most of my own food my gas sometimes there gas, pay for all the car insurance, phone bill and have to give them 400 a month, plus they seem to always want to borrow money for something. That being said i probably still am able to save more money living at home then moving out seems like rent is around 700-900 for most of the places i look at. Im trying to save money for a house but i know itll be harder if i have to completly pay for everything. However the piece of mind id have from getting away from there seems like itd be worth it. Im make 26.67/H 1550 per check every other week take home pay and in the next 3-5 years ill be up to around 31$ an hour. So i imagine i should be able to afford it especially if i work any amount of overtime. So i wonder what do you think the best move would be.

I’m currently working at a job that I’ve been miserable at for almost 2 years now. I’m 26 and I want to go back to school, specifically for esthetics. I found a program I’d like to attend but it’s not in my hometown. This means I’d need to relocate which is fine because I hate my hometown and this is my opportunity to leave.

At this time, neither my boyfriend and I can afford to move out on our own. We both have some money saved up and are still working, but it’s still not enough to be able to find a place of our own. I’d also be quitting my job once I start school. Rent where I live is on average $2500/month and I don’t have any other family I could live with. We’ve been together for 5 years now and I visit him almost every month and stay with him at his parent’s house about 4-5 days. They are always very welcoming and don’t mind me staying at their house when I do visit.

My concern is, I don’t want to overstep or overstay my welcome. My esthetician program would be about 7 months, and after I finish my bf and I will be looking for our own place to live once we save up that money. I’d be more than willing to help clean, pay rent, etc. but I just feel like me asking to live with them temporarily is too much to ask.

I would love to get some advice on this. I really appreciate it. thank you for reading

Internet, insurance, rent, gas, phone, electricity, HTH do I afford all these monthly payments!? I don’t get to have any streaming services, I don’t get to buy bulk groceries, basic sandwich’s and ramen for meals, no new clothes, can’t afford to buy dishes or furniture……I wanted Taco Bell last night, but I….i can’t afford to spend an extra 10$….im terrified…

How does everyone else afford all the luxuries? I made a comment how I don’t have peacock to someone because I can’t afford any additional monthly payments and I went met with “dude it’s not that expensive” and so much judgement….i was feeling so incredible finally moving out, but now…I wish I could just live with my family

My boyfriend 18 (M) and I 19 (M) both have really toxic households. He got kicked out of his house recently but I managed to keep him at my place for a little while without my parents knowing. They just found out and kicked him out as well and we need an apartment to live in. I’ve already been saving and going to school at a community college. He in senior year high school but he holds a job as well. The only issue is that we don’t know where and how to start the process of leaving. I have a credit score but he doesn’t and we’re afraid we just might not be ready. We don’t want to live paycheck to paycheck although I doubt that’ll happen if we find a place for a good price and then work our way up from there. Finding housing advice? Any information would help or situation plz 😣

Hello everyone, 22F who survived abroad with a small suitcase and a bag for months, needs advice for moving out, to live independently. I am currently living back at my home town, with my family, and I want to live on my own.

I just have no privacy here, but I am also struggling with unemployment, even though I have chances to live in shared accomodation, I should get rid of my stuff first. I know what is being really needed, and what's not, but I also would like to ask for your help, what would work most in such situation if you experienced before.

I have a lot of books and clothes, I sold a few book series online but it takes a bit of time, and I definitely would like to donate all unnecessary clothing. I have a lot of stationary items too. I never lived independently in my home town before. What has helped you? I am planning to bring no furniture.

I moved all my stuff into storage two months ago at a storage facility. It's a pretty big, fit everything from my 2 bd 2 bath condo in it. It was 135 a month and I just received a notice saying in 30 days it will change to 245 a month!!!!!! I am month to month however they stated due to inflation and the cost of doing business they must raise their monthly fee. Is this legal?!
