so my brother and I are moving out in june…and were moving pretty much across the country we live in florida and were moving back to michigan…but right now we live with our parents and I’m pretty scared about it…I wanna try and save as much money before I go. I have 2 jobs now and really don’t have much paid because of all of my bills now. But I want to get my CNA before I go so that I will have a for sure job…does anyone have any advice for me living on my own?

good luck manage wisely less fun time till you get stable…

Answer #2

Money is usually the biggest issue. You’ll find that if you live to party - the new freedom kind of encourages that! - you’ll be broke a lot. Find a place you can easily afford to rent. It really helps if utilities are included in the rent. Ditch your cell phone and get a land line - much cheaper, especially since you will be making lots of long distance to Florida now. Ride a bicycle as much as possible, or take a bus instead of driving, if possible. It will all work out, if you want it to! Last, make sure that you and your brother are on the same page about guests, parties, and so on. You will be living as a family, and you will be the two who make all the decisions. Have fun!
