In my culture it's only natural to stay at home till your older, we don't move out at 18... i did move out of my parents house to live with my now husband when i was 18 but we are still living at his parents house (which it's also tradition to do , to live at the husbands parents house lol).. and it's actually worked out for us. we're able to save and pay off our credit card debts and save for our daughter and this one on the way and it really helps beucase a few of my friends have their own apts and some had to move back home because the rent was just too much, I live in los angeles so everything here is overpriced lol. |
Im thinking about moving out next year, around summer time... possibly. But my only problem is I don't want to live in an apartment, and I don't know how to search for houses for rent, besides just driving around. |

I moved out when I was 18-19ish and I LOVED it!!! I moved from my parents home to my college campus and LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT, then after a semester I moved in a condo with a roomate then after about 6 months I moved into my very own apartment :) THAT WAS SOOOO LOVELY then I got married when I had just turned 22 :p If I could do it all over again the single and living on my own again I would LOL (shhh don't tell the hubby) |

Same here. Plus in an apartment, Aubrey and Dakota wouldn't be able to play outside and I would have to pay a lot for pet fees!!! So thats why Im going to wait a little bit longer, this years the car.. next years a house, or condo.. whatever. Plus I need more credit in order to get a house or whatever. |

Im not saying NEVER own... definately DO own... I own my own townhouse. I love it, but living in an apt definately taught me a LOT about how to handle being on my own, before I took on MORE responsibility of OWNING! :) |
I'm 20 and moved out on my own (w/bf now hubby) when I was 19. My advice is STAY HOME if it's free! Try to deal with living with your parents, but sometimes it is UNBEARABLE but it's def. worth it in the long run. I wish I could go back home to mommy and live with her because I hate paying for everything on my own! Everything is so expensive! If you do, get a roomate or 2 to split the cost! |

Look online at your county or surrounding counties and search for them. There plenty! |

That is true. It's just the way i see it i guess because i live in NY and omg an apt. here with only one room is like $2,000 a month i swear, now that is pointless! My friend that was living in my building paid almost that and she only had one bedroom. My mom doesn't even pay half that cause she has rent control but if i went out looking for an apt. i know 2000 will be what i will have to pay for no space, so i just think like a condo or something is more reasonable. But i agree renting your first apt. teaches you a lot. |

Just make sure you have enough money, and when you move out make sure that you have enough and don't just say "well I hope I have enough" my friend did this... well she just turned 19 this past NOv and she has a $10k loan out from all her debt.... :rolleyes: .. so if you want someone to talk to about not having money to pay for things, I know the right person! |

I know how you feel about the whole step dad thing.. I hate mine two.. well most of the time. But when I got the current job where Im gone a lot it has really helped!!!! |

Things seem to break all the time, and there's no landlord to call for help :p, so it's fix it yourself or pay someone to fix it for you :p. Plus it's the wonderful world of property taxes which ups mortgages considerably if you're like me and have it put into the monthly mortgage. I definitely miss renting at times just based on the convenience of it. I think if most rentals allowed 4 dogs, I never would have purchased my own home-- or it would have been further down the road :). |
You will not lose money by getting an apartment. When I was searching for an apartment, I tried to look for some that had some utilities included. This helps alot if you are first starting out with paying your own bills. Plus if you don't have great credit, it will help your credit. Then you can eventually get a house or condo. I just found out that my credit has improved dramatically since I got my apartment. I think in about another year and a half, I'll be able to get a condo!! YAY!! |
