ok so i want to move out of my house after i graduate from high school, but i brought it up with my parents and they arnt going for it. ive explained that i want to move out because i want to be more independent even though i will be going to a community college here in town. they just dont get it. they told me if i do move out that i have to pay for every thing, my car, cell phone, rent, etc. it kind of like they are bribing me with money. i would be moving in with 4 guys and another girl but me and that girl who ive been best friends with for over 4 years would be sharing a room. does anyone have and ideas of what could get my parents to change their minds. im going to start savingup money from my paychecks every month to try and prove that i can save my money and be responsible. ive always been a good kid and have gotten good grades. so im going to continue doing that. but if any one has any more tips that would be great! thanks!

the other poster said to figure out how much money it would take to pay rent, car cell ect. that is fine to think about the big things you must pay for. But you need to think about how you will pay for thte little things.
go the store and price everything you will need to live alone.
I went to walmart the other day and i spent over $100.00 on just things for the house
toilet paper
paper towells
toilet bowl cleaner
laundry soap
deoderent
sos pads
shampoo
soap
laundry soap
fingernail clippers
I think you get the idea of what you will need

Gee do the same thing i did and communicate ya seems impossible but we said i had to have full time job, insurance, and paid bills on time, reliable car, and graduate and be 18 a legal adult. Well buddy i did all that and still been on my own and have a loving dog by my side and my parents are glad. But dont remember taking off is going to cost money from work so do work before play. but talk with them and attempt to negociate and really my mom after i did everything i had to in order to move out, bought things for my apartment on her own. She is glad and i am happy so she is happy. It is expensive. It is like the commercials on tv where every dollar helps but dont get u nothing much except going to yard sales for home items and dollar tree. it will work out.

Once you turn 18, they can't do or say squat. It's good that you are saving up money. Find out how much rent is going to cost and calculate on what you normally have to pay for, then add food, gas, water, electric, that way, you know how much you will have for spending. Also, keep some emergancy money with you in case something happens.

Your parents are doing a great job with you They are teaching you a life lesson Yes when we are moving from our parents home its because we are ready to pay and assume all the responsabilites who come with our new life Are you ready to pay all the bills ALL I said No Well you are not entitled to ask your parents to support your lifestyle

Dude, don't forget you can loan money from the bank. You can beg? Usually that doesn't work though. You can give them a speech. No... You can ask again politly. Try to be persuasive to them.
