Moving out

[Paulio]

Do you ever think about moving out and getting a flat?

I've been thinking about it loads latley. I'm 18 now and I feel well sad telling people I still live at home with my parents. I'm starting a full time job next week where I will be on just under £800 a month to start of with. Do you think I'll be earning enough to move out? I've got a few mates interested in sharing a flat with me but I don't know where to start lol.

Does anyone have any experience and can give me some advice?

Thanks

There are some folk around here who are 20 and live with there parents the only people younger than that that actually dont are either at uni or full time job. £800 is enough, £200~ for the flat, £150/£250 for food (if you do it properly) and the rest save.

Lots of people rent out cheap housing to younger people/students. I think with your friends pitching in it is affordale and if you all agree on food budgets etc it'll be financially possible too.

I don't see an issue... it might be hard at first if you need furniature and other bits and bobs but i'd say maybe try and get 3/4 mates to move with you?

Also, i'd aim low because you're not going to get a posh flat in a city and be able to afford it

About 30% of people aged 20-30 still live with their parents. I'm 19, nearly 20 and still living at home because I can't afford to move out.
