Serious life bussiness
Ok, so I'm trying to figure some adult stuff out here. I'm 20, I go to college, and I work a part time job.... Also, I still live with my parents. Well, this is not because I hate my family... I love them all dearly.... I've just been doing some thinking and.. Well.... I'm not going to be living here forever.. So, I asked mom and dad about average costs.... I'm looking at about $2,000 a month(Including car costs). Minus that, I'm still looking at about 1,700 a month.... So, that means that I'll obviously have to work more hours than I do to make ends meet...

Having said that, I had a purpose for this journal. I don't know how many of you are adults on my list/have any idea of what I'm talking about, but if any of you have anything to suggest/comment/add, please comment. I'm really looking for advice here.... I'm more than a little nervous.

Thanks a lot to anyone even reading... I do appreciate it. Love you all.

My suggestion, find a roommate. While you're in school, unless you have one, it is nearly next to impossible to move out on your own. Also, find subsidized/government living apartments. The rates are cheap and meant for first timers and persons down on their luck. Most of them are either a flat-rate or are based on your income.

Also, do let me say this. Don't be in such a hurry to movie out. If they're letting you stay there, payment free or for "cheap rent" ... STAY. Wait until you're at least done with your associate's or bachelor's or until you have a good friend you /can/ move in with and know things will work out, because living on your own sucks. Trust me, I've been there for 3 years and I was in a hurry to move out with my fiance all those years back ... and we didn't make it for 6 months.

And now, I'm no longer in school, working full-time and still only barely making enough to live off of.

Hummm....
I'd have to agree. :3 That did sound like the most logical plan. 3nodding

Saso, I, well.....I have no advice to give here, as I've not been through this yet. XD
I'd like to wish you luck, however, whichever choice you make. ^ ^
GOOD LUCK MISS SASO ^w~

Thank you, Engineer and Alucurd. :3

Really, I'm not in a rush or anything. It's just I'm thinking of things and planning stuff out. I suppose I mistyped what I meant. I don't know when I'll move out... I do know sometime in the next few years or so... I thought it'd be good to start planning. ^^;
