Should I move into an apartment or a condo...or, save money and go homeless for a few months?

Answer 1

Move in with your parents and save money.

Answer 2

If you're talking about living on the street as in homeless - I wouldn't recommend that since most homeless people only survive for a max of about 5 years. If you're talking about renting a room from a friend - homeless, that may be a great option. If you want to prepare for how to survive in life and how to take responsibility for yourself, start off with an apartment or condo. I'd buy property if at all possible since rent is not making an investment. You can make more money in the long term by making a purchase as long as you can meet the payments and still feed yourself. If it's like your a man and it's between living with mother and moving out to be on your own - and you're over 30 - than go for the apartment or condo if you ever want a serious relationship with a woman other than your mother.

Answer 3

There is a lot of safety concerns with being homeless , not to mention the fact that will not really have a safe haven. I will say move into an apartment and get settled ,,, a few months wont save you that much of money.

If you credit is good, and u live in a buyer's market real estate neighborhood, u can buy a condo with no money down and build some equity

Answer 4

You might loose money being robbbed being homeless. It would be bad you might die. How about renting a room in the house or finding an other altrenative housing situation? Do ymca/ywca still rent rooms? What about staying in a hostel? What about staying with a friend or family? Try an effiency apt. You can even sleep on a cot or sleeping bag. Just go low budget, but not homeless that could have some hidden expenses. What about looking at alternatives? Can you camp or do you have to work while doing this? Can you live in somones back yard?

Answer 5

Don't go homeless!!!! Look at condos and apartments and see where you can get the better deal.

Answer 6

iu work for a condo and the best advise i can give you is find out the rules of the condo first cause alot of the time they will not tell you the rules till you buy in or sign up or whatever and thats when you find out all the crazy rules you have to follow belive me its not always what you think it will be

Answer 7

never choose to be homeless...it will affect u psychologically, someone could hurt u or steal whatever money u tried to save, and u could be prone to certain health problems. if money is tight...try finding a family with a spare room, who will let u stay with them in exchange for some chores and assisting with the children.

Answer 8

go to a cheap apartment or share one with a friend, take turns so u only pay 6 months save lots of money

Answer 9

I am totally about to go homeless myself for awhile. Here's how you do it: put your stuff in storage and find several friends on whose couches or spare beds you can sleep for awhile. You can probably rotate around for several months before you have to hunker down and sign a lease somewhere!

Answer 10

Depends where you live.

I have met many people who have camped up in the mountains in order to save money. Another option is to crash on a friend's sofa and slip him a few bucks.
