its so hard at 1st.. it will get better..

It was difficult, because I didn't make that much, so I didn't always have money for food. I didn't get help from anyone. Over time, things got much better.

I waited until I was 26 and had been working at a good job for about 6 months. Never had any difficulties. 🤷🏼

UPDATE: We are currently living in a new place. A hundred dollars cheaper (+utilities) that's even bigger (a LOT BIGGER) than the old place. We're doing good right now.

I moved out at 21,but I had two jobs. One that paid well and the other was working as a bouncer in a club.

Wait until you have money before going up in rent.

It was actually remotely easy for me to move out on my own. I live in a small town where rent is cheap, so

Took months to adjust. Budget your money. Lived in a ran down apartment. It’s normal. Just a step in being an adult.

I remember when $650 a month rented a spacious four bed three bath apartment, now it barely gets you a closet.

$650 a month I’m a camper!? You’re getting screwed. I live in a nice apartment away from all the riff raff for $500 a month
