Should me and my girlfriend find a place to live?

Question

ok me and my girlfriend find a place to live. i am 15 and she is 14 and we want to live together without any one is it a good idea?

Answer 1

No. Neither of you are mature enough to handle a household together.

Answer 2

Truly, this is not a good idea. First off, it seems like a fun idea with a lot of possibilities but you are very young and the likelihood of getting jobs that will support your living situations are slim to none. Depending on where you live, you might not be able to get jobs at all. Second, you are both so young that you truly need to focus on your schooling before having to deal with the pressures of working full time to pay the bills and the stress on your relationship that living together will bring. This is with all honesty that I say you need to wait to do this. It's not just a minor decision. It will change your life and force you to have to grow up much faster than you deep down will probably want. You can still spend plenty of time with your girlfriend without having to live under the same roof. Wait 3 or 4 years and then try again.
If you truly are serious, do the numbers. You both need jobs first. You will need parents to co-sign, IF you can get a place just because of your age. Your parents will have to be major benefactors. Can either of you drive? Really, can you afford car payments, insurance, groceries, rent, utilities, etc? You need to think like an adult if you want to make adult decisions.
If I were you, I would put this off.

Answer 3

that is absolutely the worst idea i have ever heard. ever. almost i guess. i did hear one time about a guy who killed his family and then himself. that would have been a worse idea.

but this is second worst idea ever.

I know how you feel, i've had exactly the same idea myself, but think this through: how much money do you earn per month?
how much is apartment rent? 600? 700? 800 per month? how much for health insurance, food, utilities? another 500 per month?
if you live with your parents and have "3 hots and a cot" (food and a bed) you have no better place to be, no matter how difficult things seem.
at 15, no one will pay you the money you need to earn to live on your own.

this is without even mentioning the awfulness invovled with the idea of moving in with a girlfriend at that age. it's bad enough at 18, 20, or 21, but at 15 it is just insane.

what's most insane about it is that there's no way for you to know it's a crazy idea!
the amount of changes you will go through in the next five years will, *guaranteed*, put you and this girl in such radically different places physically, mentally and emotionally that there's no way you will still be together, even if you *arent* living together.

throw in living together and you won't last two months.


bad idea!

Answer 4

I rolled my eyes when I read this one.

At 14 and 15 it is your job and responsibility to finish high school. You should NOT be so involved in a relationship at this age that you would even consider such a move.

You are not mature enough, the two of you could not make enough money to pay bills in "the real world" and I am sure you would piss off your families. Not to mention, I am sure you would have unprotected sex and then she'd pop a kid out.

Then the burden is on the taxpayers to pay for your bratstard of a child. I am not in favor of my hard earned tax dollars for this cause. I work to damn hard and have my own children that the government has never been asked to pay for. Even when I was widowed and they were very small.

You need to get off the pc, the phone, do your homework and get with your buddies and play some baseball. After you are out of school you can start playing house.

Answer 5

No, it is not. I know you will not like my answer but you are very, very young and you want to play an adult game. Have you given any thought to realities of life? Do you have any income? Do you have any idea how much it costs to pay rent, food, utilities and other living expenses? I assume that you want to play a real couple, have you considered a possibility of unwanted pregnancy? Your idea of living together is absolutely, hmmm.. how to put it... nuts???
Legally you won't be able to get a place. You can't get into a legal contract (signing a lease) because you are still under age. Don't rush to grow up. Being grown up means taking on responsibilities that (trust me) many real adults have difficulty handling.
If your question is a joke, maybe my answer will get you thinking anyway.

Answer 6

well considering you cant even get into a contract until you are the age of 18, and im pretty sure that you cant get a job and go to school that would be able to support you and your girlfriend. i dont think that it would be a good idea. maybe waiting a few years and seeing how things work out with the 2 of you. dont be like 50% of americans that get married for the wrong reasons and dont realize it until its too late. you are young. live with your parents, go out on dates, see each other at school, and live the simple life. there will be plenty of time to play grown up with you are older.

Answer 7

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! You are too young. OMG! How will you support yourself. what kind of job could you possibly get. stay where you are and let your parents support you until your at least 18. i know it sounds fun to be together without any grownups in your business but thats a lot of responsibility for someone so young. think this through. what happens if you break up. then what? just don't even think about it. enjoy your teenage years and don't make them more difficult than they need to be.

Answer 8

just wait awhile free rent is good and you will spend all your time working and not with each other plus most places dont hire 14-15 year olds,and your parents could be in trouble for letting you go

Answer 9

I am 17 and i started living with my boyfriend when i was 15. I think it depends on the person you are with and your maturity level. If you have to break off relations with family and friends who disagree then no.

Answer 10

Yes,
well even if 1/3 of the world tell you that is not right.
you will end up doing something like that, you guys are in fire right now.
go get try if you don't find any sencible land lord who can let you enjoy your beautyfull love, then under the bridge will be very romantic. lol,,,,, got it??

Answer 11

I hate to break this to you, but you're way too young... why do you need to live alone anyways? Get to know each other more, people change with age.
