So I planned on moving out for over a year but i put a lot of things into perspective before actually carrying out that plan... I wanted to give it some time to think it over if I was going to change my mind, I had to find out where my money was at after this Hawaii vacation, I had to pay off all my left over debt like my car note and student loans and last but not least I wanted to find a place in a good area and within my budget...And it would also help to save as much money as possible before moving out... so this week i finally found a place within my budget and close to my job and decided let me go drop off my application and see what happens... The offices at the apartment complex told me their was a waiting list and i would be 5th in line for a place and I had to hand in an application... I figured I'm in no rush to move so I will give them my application which was yesterday but i didn't think i would hear back from them so soon.. They called me today saying I can move in by Nov 1st but they want me to check out the place first in October and see if i like it i have to give them a 500 deposit... So any NTers who moved out their parents place for the first time how was your experience? Any advice is welcomed...

Yea i wanna know what city also

@Dman agreed, ppl are so surprised that you live on your own, i know ppl in their 30's still at home, i couldnt do it no more

Take care of bills first, always, it WILL get lonely at first if you are single, but you get used to being by yourself after a couple months

Dont try to make your place look like something out of a catalog, do what makes you comfortable and it will come out looking nice

The freedom, all your stuff being where you left it, wouldnt go back at all

I live in New Jersey and right now im in jackson at my parents crib yes im 32 so now is definitely the time to go :lol: ... with that being said i am moving to a apartment in Old Bridge New Jersey... and rent is 915 i was looking for a place for 850 but it was tough to find so i just settled with this joint... after checking out the place next month and giving the deposit it should be official... my mind is already made up as far as moving out... i just have to prepare and stack up more chips and get some furniture ready... yes i am single so i agree it will be lonely at first but im an introvert so ill be used to it... dont get it twisted though i will have parties at the crib and females over... my biggest worry to be honest is cooking for myself being that i dont know how and my parents always cooked... this is very important because i bring my lunch everyday to work
 
Congrats dude.  It is truly a liberating feeling.  Don't try to ball out of control with your first place unless you can afford to do so.  Cop the necessities first.  A bed, a couch, a tv, kitchen stuff to eat/cook on etc.  Check cable/internet rates and bundle up for what fits you.  Make sure you know if you have to pay for utilities or if any are included, watch out for unexpected 1st place fees that may come as a surprise such as trash removal fees etc.  Basically have a little money saved up, make the place your own, and enjoy the hell out of your first place.  Introduce yourself to your neighbors when you move in, give them your cell number and let them know that if you're ever too loud or if they're going out of town or whatever just shoot you a text.  For the most part if you look out for them and leave them be they'll do the same for you.  Don't be scared to cop furniture from Ikea. 

Moving out is super awesome, but having been on my own so long I actually get stoked now to go visit my mom at her place and be lazy and let her be a mom lol

Aint it tho!?? lol



Congrats OP, I moved out of my parents house about 5 yrs ago but I've been with roomates since then up until LAST MONTH :smokin So i'm KINDA in the same boat as you, as others have said, aint nothing like living by yourself. Everything left where you put it, all the power bill coming from what YOU turned on and stuff, get home from a long day of work and walk around in wife beater and boxers. AHHHH


As far as the cooking part don't feel bad lol I'm 30 myself and although I know how to cook, I'm lazy as a mug so I might do it once in a blue moon or If I got a chick coming over. As you already know eating out is expensive and definitely eats into your disposable income. Try your best to either start liking cold cuts and microwaveable food or maybe pickup a cooking class. It really is pretty easy just following directions and taste testing.

Good luck in this wild wild world homie.


p.s. maybe think about getting either a dog or a gun lol, i'm still contemplating on which one i'm getting myself.

get the shorty and keep it in the leather coat :lol: :pimp:
 
if you want some cheap furniture, hit up craigslist. always ppl throwing things out or selling for cheap. you just got to move it yourself
 
Movin back in with the folks in November :pimp:
it's been 4 years, so staying sane is my top priority

give me strength, fambz
 
been out two months next month and i haven't worn pants since...


best feeling to be able to walk around your entire place with whatever you want or don't want on...


just need a couch though lol
 
Living on your own >>> having roommates.

And I have been in both situations. Granted, the rent is more but I just get pissed at uncleanliness so it is well worth it to me.

I'd rather have roommates. They are my good friends obviously but I'd get too bored.

Besides 3k pooled together renting a dope house>>>> 1k solo on a one bedroom. I got a yard, garage and room to roam in my house. :lol:

Until I buy a house of my own I'll just keep renting them.
 
it was sort of anticlimactic for me because i had absolute freedom when i stayed with my father...i was already covering my bills and groceries

he was either at work or would often go out of town to Chicago

I just closed on my first coop in July and officially moved out (after renovations were complete) at the end of August. I don't live too far from my mom now, but living on my own so far has been what I expected. And I'm happy about that.

I've always been mature and responsible so I made sure my finances were in order before I bought my place, as it's always been my life long goal.

The biggest advice I can give so far is make sure you have a lot of $ tucked away because you're going to need it. Furniture, renovations, things for the apt you have no idea you need until you move out - it all adds up.

Bed Bath and Beyond, Amazon, Ikea, Supermarket, Target, Home Goods, etc etc etc will become your new home away from home. But the amount of pride and happiness of turning YOUR KEY to walk into YOUR HOUSE is immeasurable.

Just make sure you have your priorities in order. Bills comes first - none of that YOLO nonsense NTers on here talk about - that's not real life. Get your priorities straight, make sure you know how to feed yourself and keep the lights on - and then make time for the fun.
 
Just moved out a month ago with my girl and her daughter and honestly **** was pretty much the same as being at my mothers house or her mothers house, only thing now is that you paying for everything and the food isn't the same, but **** really isn't that different IMO. Yea it's nice being on your own but I like the family aspect more.
 
I'm currently living with my uncle's family. Got about $18k saved, but I probably won't be moving for another year or two. I want to get a higher paying, more secure job first.

I look forward to the day I move out though.
 
I'm 25 years old. Should I expedite the process of moving out? Am I a late bloomer or?

My plan for a couple of years is just saving & saving.. Making $16 an hour at USPS right now....

Females aren't impressed with it. You can have a boss gt mustang 302 and live at the himless shelter and they will still show you love.

Now days having a apartment at a young age is expected really
