Just keep in mind:
when you live on you're own you are fully responsible for food, rent, utilities (gas, electric, water), internet, cable, phone (that includes your cellphone), and any other costs (i.e. clothes, shoes, other fun stuff). If you screw up they may not be there for you to fall back on. If you move out you will probably be forced to be financially independent. You'll need to get a job and work whenever you aren't in school. Most of that money will go towards paying the bills. If you are willing to do all of that then go for it I guess. However, keep in mind that if you do this you may ruin the relationships you have will all your family members, not just your parents.

R U financially ready? It's not easy just moving out. U need furniture, appliances, xtra $$$ in the bank 4 when U miss work 4 being sick, etc. It's easy just saying "I'm gonna do it" but wouldn't it b worst leaving the nest & having 2 come back cause U couldn't make it on Ur own. If Ur tired of them find some outdoor activities that U can take on so U spend less time @ home & more time out having fun. Good luck!

Okay, there's a lot of things you need to put into consideration here: Do you have enough money to more out? Do you have a well paying job for all your finances (bills for heat/electrical, water, rent or mortgage, food, etc.)? Can you afford an apartment, or are you going to be living with someone? Don't move out just for the sake of moving out. Being financially prepared is so very important. Put it this way: the faster you move out without any preparations, the sooner you'll be back home, living with your parents. It's your choice.

Well if living with your parents is TRULY unbearable...then yes I would move out. But just remember living on your own is not going to solve all your problems. It may even add to them. All I'm saying is make sure you have a realistic view if you decide to move out. Make sure your finances are right and you are mature and responsible enough to handle living on your own. Some of my friends moved out at an early age because they didn't want to listen to their parents. Now they wished they would of stayed home longer. I'm 24 and I still live with my parents because I just graduated college and I'm trying to save up so I can buy my own house. Sometimes my parents get on my nerves but they do respect me and treat me like an adult. So I hoped that helped. I hope everything works out for you.

Wanting to be on your own and being ready to be on your own are very different. When we are all kids we think that our parents suck and they don't understand us, but give it some time and try to get your life in order before you move out. If they are a good support system then you can set yourself up for a long time by not moving out too early.

I moved out when I turned 18 and I loved it. As long as you can handle it, you will be okay. You need to get at least 1300 dollars a month depending on where you live, and that will be at least ok. That will cover rent, phone, car, insurance and maybe food lol. Good luck!

Do you have a job and can support yourself on your own? Are you out of high school? Then by all means go for it, just don't expect their help if/when you get yourself in financial trouble. It's easier when you have roommates to split expenses.

If you're still in high school, be warned: living on your own is harder than you probably expect. And finishing school is more important than you might think, and definitely easier when you're not worrying about where next month's rent is coming from.

Everyone goes through it with thier parents. If you really want to move out make sure you have a plan. Job? School? Place to go?Rent and bills and all that adult responsibility can be more than what you expect.

First of all are you ready to be on your own? You need to have a job that pays enough money for your living expenses. When you are 18 your an adult so if this is was you want then do it just make sure your ready.
