Is it okay to move out when you're 17?

Well I’m 17 and have a boyfriend who is almost 18 and we both want to live together with my best friend and her boyfriend. We think that we would be okay because we all have a job and get paid pretty well. I really want to move out and my mom said it was okay as long as i could support myself. Do you think we could make it???

Answer #1

Keep in mind, now if you both have cars, you will need gas, you will also need to factor in living expenses such as RENT, food & utilities.

Determine the total net amount the both of you make in a given month. Attempt to designate a strategic plan in which would allow your needs to be met.

Budget your money for starters, Right down the total you make on an average. I always tend to make it slightly lower than the actual projection, to accommodate any potential of there being a difference in the normal rate of pay I am subject to.

I am going to e-mail you an awesome link, to a site I am currently using as we speak, implying my budget calculations on a step-by-step matrix formula, in order to give me a sound projection of my needs.

Update your budget accordingly, always ensure your basic needs are met before you allocate any amount for fun or dining out or other non-necessity items.

Both of you should do this, and make sure you have an equality or work out between the two of you, of which or what sections you pay or if you decide to half it, work it out with your partner prior to making a commitment on moving out.

Good Luck! And Take Care… IF you have any Questions, or if any one else happens to come across this info in the future, & would like the same link! Just e-mail me!
