How do i move out of my parents house and get my own apartment?

  • I will be 21 in June and im still living under my parents roof. im tired of my parents getting mad at me for sleeping in the same bed as my boyfriend. ( we've been together for 2 years ) an also getting mad at what time i come home at night. i need to get out on my own but i scared im not financially ready. i have a part time job as a waitress, make about $200 a week on tips, and about $60-$80 a week on my paycheck. i go to school full-time, and and pay $200 a week for my car. my boyfriend doesn't have a job, he goes to school full-time at a college miles away. i see people my age living on their own and i don't know how they do it. please, what do i need to do to move out?

    You need to face the fact that you are an adult now and you are responsible for yourself. Parents are quickly annoyed when boyfriends move in to their homes. When you live under some one else roof, it's their rules. If boyfriend is not contributing to the family expenses, that could be upsetting everyone. Perhaps you should decide what is more important: living on your own or going to school. If you want to live on your own, you need a full time job. That means you have to postpone school for a couple of years. If your education is more important, then boyfriend needs to move out of your parent's home and you need to concentrate on going to school. The reasons you want to move seem kind of lame - you keep the wrong hours and your boyfriend sleeps in your bed. Really, is that all that's wrong? You can fix that immediately. Come home earlier because it's your parent's home and tell your BF to move out.

You don't make enough to move out and if you did you would have to get a couple of roommates. For now I think you should just listen to your parents and obey their rules until you finish school. Once you graduate you can concentrate on getting a full time job with benefits and be able to move into a nice apartment with your boyfriend. Don't let your emotions get in the way of bad decisions.

You need to sit down and make a realistic budget. What do you need to get started-first months rent, security deposit, furniture, etc. What do you need to keep yourself going-food, rent, phone, electric, cable, gas, insurance, etc. Once you figure out what you can realistically pay that will tell you how many roommates you'll need to find.

If you live with your parents, they set the rules. You can make your own rules in your own place. Get rid of the car and take public transport if possible. That will save you some money. Kick the bf out or make him help you pay expenses. Most landlords require you to make 2-3 times the amount of the rent each month, so you probably need a better paying job or full time job. Do not count on tips for regular income. I have evicted tenants who did that and no longer could afford the rent when tips were low. Maybe get a roommate and smaller apartment together. There aren't many places you could afford for less than $400/month. You also have to pay food, utilities, and transportation from that.

Good Lord, did your parents really let your boyfriend move into their home? You should both find better jobs and move out as soon as you can. Nothing like being on your own and paying for everything yourself to appreciate what you had at home. This is something you should have been saving for and working for for a couple of years now. I'll bet mom and dad would be willing to cover the first months rent and a deposit if it would force you both to move, but you will have a hard time finding a landlord who will rent to you with no more income than you have. No, you are not financially ready, but you need to be - now. Find some roommates, work 2 jobs, sell your car, go to school part-time instead of full-time, whatever you need to do.
