Answer #1

Moving out and setting up home for the first time is expensive. Once you’re home is set up you need to have enough income to pay all the bills, feed yourself and have money put aside for when things need replacing. If you plan ahead and save it will be easier.

Answer #2

Well when you move out you have no one to rely on but yourself. You will have jobless friends wanting a place to crash or friend with jobs wanting a place to crash and not wanting to help with the bills plus you got repairs. . . . Stay home.

Answer #3

Let me rephrase that, lol. Alot of this depends on differnt factors. how old are you? Can you support yourself? Will you have any type of backup money to help you if something goes wrong? Moving out is a huge decision to make. Make sure that you are fully prepared to accept financial responsibility for all of the bills and yourself.
