Do you have a job? Are you planning on going to college? If you go to school, it can get expensive, espically if you are trying to pay half (or whole) rent, gas, electric, water, any credit card bills you may or have racked up...what about your transportation? Do you have a car? If you move out, what are the terms on your insurance? Will you have to take it all over, even regristration? Oh yeah, food...entertainment...regular ol life, Dr's appts, car break downs...That can really be expensive. Not trying to burst your bubble, but real life is $$$$$ expensive $$$$$ I would get a friend or two and share the expensies. You must make up rules to live by tho, Ive shared places with people and if you dont set boundries, you get your "friends" walking all over you...it sucks to fight with friends. Good luck!!

I would recommend getting your own one bedroom, mostly because if you sign a lease with your friend and your friend changes and becomes shady, you will have to pay the whole lease by yourself. Right after high school, young adults do a lot of changing, so even if your friend is the best person in the world right now, she may be very different a year from now.

The criminal age is 16 in Canada, so as that takes away the placement of statutory rape. i'm 14 years older than my better half, yet then i'm in my mid 50s and he's in his early 40s which delivers us significantly better existence adventure in basic. If something, he's the "brake" on my impetuosity, and at the same time as i'm all gung-ho to bypass skydiving from a airplane he's the guy who will pastime my memory I had my knee replaced merely six months in the past and is skydiving somewhat this kind of sturdy concept! If I were going to make a guideline: artwork on transforming into friends -- and extremely sturdy friends, at that -- previously even thinking introducing sex into the relationship. you've already got a sturdy deal of existence adventure which he would not; and one element it really is basic between gay and immediately adult males is that our first genuine romantic and sexual adventure is somewhat intense and it is genuine uncomplicated for us to get our hearts damaged. He ought to correctly be staggering, and look and act like an grownup, yet he remains 16 years previous. i'm no longer putting forward that you need to not have a relationship with him in some unspecified time sooner or later, yet i don't think of you choose to threat breaking his heart, quite at the same time as both of you're sharing a employ -- so my suggestion ought to be to bypass sluggish.

If you can afford to live by yourself, it is the only way to go. If you decide to have a roomate, make sure you have an agreement in writing as to how the expenses are to be split and paid. You might also consider having both people sign the lease.
For a practical lesson, just watch a few episodes of "Judge Judy". It seems as though half of the cases brought before her involve roomate disputes.
Good luck with your move.

wow. that's alot. are you sure you're ready? being on your own is a HUGE responsibility and once that genie's out of the bottle there's really no turning back! Just be sure you absolutely KNOW what you are getting into, either way, and make sure you have you finances in order and you can handle your money!

My opinion....NO.
The best thing you can do, as hard as it may be, is to live at home and work(even if going to college) and save your butt off. Getting an apartment, even if sharing one, and it's associated expenses(food, utilities, phone, etc) will drag you down and it will be tough to save and get ahead.

no don't move out right away. Life right out of school can be slightly rough. If you feel you really need to, have a roommate.

Yes, but don't go too far. It will teach you responisibility. If you make it on your own, without govt. assistance, you'll be rightfully proud.
