How much money do you need to save to move out?

I don’t make much so it really depends on the time sheet. I make $14.50 an hour but as a teacher’s assistant. I get like $1000 sometimes $2,000 something a month but the school year is 9 months. They do take taxes off. I just started working there in November so for five months.

It depends on where you live. Here, a 1 bdrm averages $1,250/ mo. After utilities and food you would have zero savings. You couldn't even have a car.

@ElizabethBabe1994 no for a down-payment

@TheRascallyOne I’ll pass on that. Can’t afford to move out

Alot more than you think. Trust me. It's better to just find a roomate because if you try doing it all on your own you will fail miserably. Been there done that.

It depends where you life. If you make like let’s say $3000-$4000 a month, that should get you your own places. Also depending where you work

@Iwillwait shit. I keep telling my friend that rent is high but she keeps telling me to look for a low income places and stop being close minded and be open to options and I’m the only person that she trusts and prefers me to be roommates.

@ElizabethBabe1994 $1500 is low.
You can rent a room in someone's home for $700-$1000

@Iwillwait Yeah true but still. She keeps bugging me to be roommates. I understand I am the only person she trusts but I really don’t know. My dad needs help
