Should I rent a flat or stay at home with my parents?

Answer 1

Yes, only if you are of legal age, have a job making enough money to cover rent, utilities, medical bills, food, transportation, and basic needs. When living at home with parents, they supply most of the necessities. Then when a person first leaves home, they are shocked at how much it costs just to buy paper towels and toilet paper.

My suggestion is to sit down with your parents and discuss your desire to move out--get their advice on what to plan for.

Go with your mom when she does the grocery shopping and look at prices of everything.
Look at your parent's utility bills.
How much do they pay for mortgage or rent?
If they pay for your medical expenses, ask how much it costs just to see a doctor.

Good luck to you in this tough old world!

how old are you and what country do you live in? in the US at age 18 you can legally move out and parents can't say a thing. If you are having problems at home, then of course renting a flat or moving in with a buddy would surely help.

Answer 3

Assuming you are old enough to live on your own, you should move out. It will give you a chance to develop your sense of independence. If you stay at home, it may be years before you get out - you could get in a rut. Also, when you bring home a man or woman he or she is not going to be impressed by the fact that you live with your parents. So, if you are 18 or older, it's time to leave the nest.

Your question is difficult to answer since you have not given many details. How old are you? If you are old enough to live on your own then do it. Make sure you rent a flat you can afford. You will grow in many ways out on your own.
