Get Job and/or Go to School[College, tech whatever]. Once you have a steady job move out.

You will need a job and be able to earn enough money to pay your rent, groceries and utlities. Maybe try to get a roommate so you can share expenses with them. But keep in mind that the roommate needs to be responsible so you don't end up paying all the bills by yourself.
You could check to see if there are any places around you that are looking for someone to rent a room. That may be cheaper for you.
Most apartments will require you to put a deposit down of at least one months rent. And maybe a cleaning deposit.

Do you have a job to support yourself? How about a car to transport you back and forth places? $400 bucks doesn't sound much to rent an apartment... but try to see if you can find a cheap apartment, or find some roommates. They should have listings on the bulletin board for roommates at a college (if you go there) or in the apartment directory magazines.

You are over 18, and hopefully are motivated to get a job. It might be a little rough at first, but hang in there. Leaving home and becoming independent is part of life.

Get a job. Rent an apartment. That is about it. Welcome to the club!
