Teen Hears Parents’ Plan to Kick Her Out—and Strikes First in Shocking Twist
Among the questions their experts suggest you ask are, “Are you employed, or do you have a side hustle that can help you afford both rent and groceries while still saving? How much of a budget do you have to work with monthly?”
If your current salary is enough to cover rent, dining in (and out), and save at least 20% for incidentals, you might just be okay. But if that seems like a stretch, you’ll either need to boost your salary with alternate streams of income, or maybe rent a place with roommates or in a cheaper area.
Besides the money aspects, you need to be emotionally and practically capable of living on your own. Your clothes aren’t going to wash themselves and your dinner won’t magically appear on the table (if you’ve bought one). Your fridge won’t fill itself.
You’ll need to have a good routine of doing chores, housework, grocery shopping while balancing your day-job, social life and down time. “Make a schedule and try to stick to it as best as you can while still living at home to make sure you will be able to handle the added financial and mental stress of it all,” advises iMoving.com.
The team adds that while it might be tempting to want to be on your own, the longer you can wait to move out, “the easier it will be on you financially to stabilize yourself and build your career and relationship at the same time.”
