I am 24 and just recently moved out of my parents house. Granted, I was away at college for 5 years.
Are you graduating from high school? What are your plans for the future? Do you want to go to college?
If you are just leaving high school, moving out is a lot of responsibility. Yes, you have the main stuff covered, but you probably underestimate the amount of responsibilities you are going to have. Rent does not come cheap, then add on utilities, groceries, phone bill, car insurance, gas to get to and from work and other places. THen there's entertainment costs, going out to a movie, buying new clothes... it adds up quick! You can expect to easily spend at least 800 dollars a month on everything. Fresh out of high school isn't going to allow you to find a high paying job, so it will be tough. As much fun as it sounds to get out and be independant, it is hard.
Be careful with your decision, and know what you are getting into and how you are going to take care of everything.
It's amazing to be out on your own, but don't throw away the luxury of living basically free in your parents house. :)
Good luck!
and sorry if this is preachy. I tried it and had to depend on my parents a lot!

I moved out of my parents house and in with my boyfriend. There are some ups and downs that come with the situation, it just takes time. I, for one, moved in with a man who had his own place and a stable job that paid the bills. If I would've moved into my own house (or apartment), my credit would have went down the tubes. If you are serious about moving out, make sure you have reliable roommates. They may be great friends, but if they can't come up with their share of the money, then you'll have a bigger problem than homesickness. Also, you'll be on your own and will have to make your own decisions. At some point everyone has to "leave the nest", but just make sure you are really ready.

It's very difficult financial to move out of your parent's house; especially if you are just graduating whether it be high school or college. You think you will have enough money to make it, but chances are you will struggle a lot in the beginning.
If you really want to move out, secure a job first, save up a couple thousand dollars and then move out.

Do you have any money saved?
Is your friend already established in the house?
If you are both first-time renters, you will need references and a down payment. References should be people who know you are responsible and will pay the rent.
furniture is another thing to consider. also, will you pay a moving service or just take your stuff down in a few car-loads? You might be able to do it yourself, since you probably dont' have a lot to move.
Also, you have to clean out your old space so that you don't burden your parents with having to get rid of any "junk". Let them decide what to do with your bed, and bedroom furniture etc. But other than that, get rid of everything, either take it, sell it, give it away or throw it away.

Don't move out until you have a job and enough money saved to make it a month or two if you lose that job. It's WAY easier to be on your own if you have a little cash cushion stashed away. If you can't afford it, live at home until you can. It's just going to get harder to save and budget when you're not getting free rent, groceries, electricity, etc.

The family members in all probability experience youre unhappy residing with them and that i dont blame you. you will continually be an interloper as youre no longer a sibling i think of what yet another individual right here mentioned is sweet, you may flow out your self and proportion with somebody to cut back expenditures. Then your bf can come over each time. you will be extra independant and do issues the form you elect to do them, i wouldnt stay miserabily just to in advantageous condition somebody else, you elect a life too. on the top of the day you will purely grow to be envious which you sacrificed lots for somebody who didnt return the favour. If youre residing with him reason he pays the lease then start up thinking of worry-free worry-free techniques to coach and prepare your self so which you would be able to stay independantly and stay the life you elect. in case you progression out he could take you heavily and flow out with you, on the 2nd hes no longer taking your thoughts into attention

It was and wasn't hard for me to leave. The only reason why I would've stayed is because of my two younger brothers. I wanted to be out on my own so I moved out. At first it was hard because I was responsible for myself now, no one else. It gets easier with time.

I moved out of my parents house and it was so hard... paying rent, bills and buying groceries was very hard!
I say finish college first and save, save, save, save!!!
Till this day I regret moving and wish I could move back home... I could but my mom remodeled my former room and its not fair for her to have to re do it again just for me!
Good luck!
