1. get a job. 2. make a budget - how much you can reasonably plan to spend on rent, food, gas, car payments, healthcare, utilities, etc. in a given month. Don't forget those payments that you may not make often, but can ruin you finanically for years or put your life on hold if you don't plan for them. For example, you don't plan on your car breaking down altogether, but you will need several thousand dollars in the bank in case that happens. If you don't have it, you don't get to work, and you don't get to keep your job. Likewise, you don't plan on being in a wreck, but you can have tens of thousands in bills if that happens, if you don't have good health and auto insurance. Even just one visit to the doctor for a sinus infection can run you over $200 in doctors visits and prescriptions drug cost. here is one sample budget form: http://financialplan.about.com/cs/budgeting/l/blbudget.htm Remember, you don't want to just "break even" with your budget - you want to come out ahead at the end of the month. In other words, you want to have some money leftover to spend on thinks like going to the movies, eating out, taking a trip, going on a date, etc. Sometimes unexpected things happen - if you have money in the bank, you can deal with it; otherwise, it's back to live with your parents. Remember also that a budget is just a THEORETICAL list of expenses. We all wish that gas was still just $2.50 per gallon, but it's isn't. I wish my rent never went up, but sometimes it does. Prepare for the unexpected. 3. find a place to live that is in your budget. Take into account the distance you will be from work, the safety of the place, etc. The closer you are to work, the less you'll spend on gas and car maintanance. 4. think forward. You don't want to JUST "move out" for the sake of being "moved out" the rest of your life. Do you want to be living in the same place, driving the same car, 10 years from now? College graduates have been shown to make much more income than those without a college degree. Whatever you plan on doing, do the best you can do get the best education and training as you can - it will pay off big in the end.
