When should I move out?
    #19294346 - 12/18/13 05:37 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I'm turning 19 Dec 25, 2013; I'm in college (that's all paid for) I have a car (it's paid off). Have an OK job.... But I'm planning to get either a second job or a higher paying job. (of course after i get my degree, I plan to start my career)

My question is...
1. When is a smart time to move out of my parents house? I don't want to move out too soon, but I do want to begin being an adult (kinda, I know I'm still young) I plan to have two roomates (my two best-friends, we all have jobs).
2. What are things I should consider in our cost of living?
3. What age did you move out?
4. Did it go well???

Stay at your parents long enough to save enough cash to buy a house. Then once you get the house, bring in the roommates to to pay your mortgage for you. During this time you work and it's all going towards savings cause your bills are paid by other people.

expense to take in consideration:

- food
- rent
- electricity
- Water
- Gas
- Cable
- Internet
- Phone
- Fun
- Some sort of tax or fee that you won't see coming that'll cost like 1500$ for no reason

Always keep a cushion of a minimum of 500$... 1500$ if you can and 5000$ is ideal.

Are your parents cool (meaning they don't beat you or make you hate your life)? If so, stay in until you're like 95% sure you can handle your shit.

Are your parents not cool? ASAP.

Renting is just like pissing money away, and I rent. Unless you're going to use your new independent living space to earn. It isn't worth it. If I had to do it all over again I would have sat in my mom's house and had her help me finance a home and never once payed rent.

Granted there are all sorts of non financial reason's you'd want to leave your parent's house. But free living space and food isn't something that you will enjoy again outside of prison.

I don't really view this as feasible. IDK where OP lives, but what kind of house can he buy for $300,000? Maybe a 3 bedroom house? The mortgage on that is going to be well above $2 grand a month. That's not calculating in homeowner's association fees and property tax, or internet and electricity and water and gas and cable fees. You can't possibly charge above $600 a month for somebody to rent out a bedroom in a house. You might get $1200 off on your entire bill, but not much more than that.

You were born on christmas? Are you jesus? :nowaydude:

I (sort of) agree with patlal. I dono about waiting long enough to buy a house but a good time is when you can not only afford your living expenses but also have leftover each month to save. You never know what can come up on your own. Roommates might bail, car might break, could lose your job unexpectedly etc so you need a financial buffer.

There's a catch: lot fees. You can buy these places outright for 10k or so but then they charge you a ~$300/m lot fee which usually only includes very basic utilities like sewage and water. Sorry to ruin your life's dream :frown:

It depends on how strict your parents are and how much freedom you want.

Living away from home is fun/better, but it can also be expensive.

And take into account that at some point one of you three will probably become unemployed, that as well as other things will probably end up making you guys fight occasionally.

Been living out of home for over about 15 months now and I'm 20, it's fun and the freedoms great but saving is hard. I'd prefer to be back at the parents sort of but they live in a rural area and I can't drive plus I don't have access to school, jobs and fun that I do here in the city.

Really just depends.

-How cool/lenient are your parents?
-Do you have money saved?
-What is the cost of living in your area?
-How much do you make monthly?
-Are you responsible?
-Are your friends responsible?

Even though the freedom is amazing when you move out, being able to be rent free and save money working a job will make things so much easier in the long run of things.

I'd say hold out as long as you can, save up as much as you can/get what you need to get done (college) then take the plunge.

If you are smart you won't move out till they ask you to. If you move in with your 2 best friends you won't remain best friends long.

Well I ain't saying it can't happen but you may not know all of their little odd habits and pet peeves. You may spend every day with them then all of the sudden shit changes when you are with them that much.

:whathesaid:X2

I moved outta my parents house when I was 16. I don't regret it because it has made me into the man I am today; However life would have been a whole lot easier if I would have stayed under their roof as long as possible.

after living on my own for a few years I decided to ask my two closest buddies (of 10years++) to move in with me.... BOY WAS THAT A MISTAKE!

Roommate A started play the tit-for-tat one up game.  No matter what myself or Roommate B bought, did, or said, roommate A took it to the next level just to make us look/feel inferior (his mom/dad were LOADED $$$$).  Then, roommate A decided he was going to give his GF of 6 months a key to our house without consulting myself or roommate B.  Large argument ensued....YEARS later..We still don't speak to each other and probably never will.


Roommate A choose to become complacent and place ALL of the household responsibilities on my shoulders because he wasn't getting enough "Personal Time"  (AKA Enough time to smoke 1/8 of herb a day and beat his meat).  He stopped cleaning up after himself and HIS 75lb dog, he started shorting me on rent & utilities, started running his mouth to mutual friends about me and my life....  I kicked his ass out of the house and YEARS later: He wont look me in the eyes, leaves a location if I show up and the bastard still owes me well over $1,000 in utilities/rent.

MORAL OF THE STORY: 
  Stay with your parents until you can AFFORD to live ALONE and then if you choose to try living with roommates..more power to you, as long as you aren't forced to rely on them in order to keep the roof over your head.

Been there, done that dude, got ugly FAST and I lost my 2 closest friends!

Yea, but if I buy a 3 bedroom home and then get 2 roommates and then charge them $550 for a room (or $600 a month for completely furnished rooms), that would basically cover the entire mortgage plus the lot fees. I'd just have to pay for internet and electricity basically.
