Is it hard moving out of your parent's house and living by your self for the first time?

Question

i'm thinking about moving out and getting my own place but i'm not sure if it is a good idea

Answer 1

of course its going to be hard at first - both emotionally and financially. But it is a natural part of growing up and maturing.

Answer 2

Depends on the person. I was quite dependent on my parents till age 18, I didnt even have a job. After spending such a long time with them as my main social contact and being an integral part of life, I thought I'd have problems when I moved away (5000 miles at that) to go to uni. But no, I just revelled in my newfound freedom and found how awesome it is to be your own boss. There has been the odd scare where I've panicked over what to do, but I wouldnt change it for the world! I'd say take the risk, you can always beg them to take you back, and usually things tend to work themselves out! Good Luck!

Answer 3

How old are you?

Yeah, it can be hard at first. You have to get used to being alone and dealing with a lot of things you are not used dealing with, like bills, working for those bills, etcetera.
On the other hand it makes you more strong and independent.

But if you are under 18 and you are having nice parents, wait a bit. Enjoy and apreciate what you have. Living on your own brings in a lot of new worries.

Answer 4

it's not really hard, it is expensive and if you are a gurl living on your own, you may find it awkward. once you get use to it, you won't want to give it up. you gotta move out sooner or later. you might be better off finding a room mate you trust the first time you move out. cuts the expenses in half and you can look out for each other.

Answer 5

It is hard persevere you wil manage...but you know what is even harder after living out of the family home having to move back in...I had to move in with my parents for a few months when i moved from Scotland to London and wanted to climb the wall with frustration.

Answer 6

No I moved to London from South Africa on my own and it starts out hard but as long as you have a good job that can take care of all your bills and other essential needs it's actually quite liberating in a sense that you can do as you please cause it's you who's paying for it all.

Answer 7

I would live in a shared house first. Kind of softens the blow if you're sharing with other people and means you won't get lonely! If you live in a city this will be easier especially if it's a studenty place.

Answer 8

Depends on the kind of relationship you have with your parebts, i moved at 17, and love it, first i shared with a mate, then, with two girls, in a house share who i have stayed in touch with and become great friends. And now, i live with my bf!
And thanks to my experience, we get on like a house on fire!
anyway, for me no, it was an escape, i have always had to be independent, this was a test of strength, and i came through happily!
You'll love it, if not at first then in time!

Answer 9

Of course it is. I hope you have a job, that will pay rent, utilities, phone, internet, garbage pick-up, food , gas, insurance and various other expenses. You didn't say how old you were, but I would think about it. I hope you have been saving your money. It is not easy, but would be a good experience for you. It takes alot of responsibility, and I hope you are up to it.

Answer 10

yes, it is a bit hard, but anything worth having or doing can be hard. You will be okay, just take one step at a time, ask some friends or family for advice and stay away from using charge cards

Answer 11

If you're sensable with money you will be fine, also you don't need to move miles and miles away. When I first moved out my Mom used "break into " my house and leave bags of groceries, and i would get "invited" home every weekend and my mom would make my favourite dinner. my little sister would've been miffed if it wasn't her favourite dinner too!! :)
