Should you move out of your parents house and live on your own?

Answer 1

If you're asking for yourself, you need to consider several options. First, are you 18, or a legal adult? Until you're 18, you won't be able to legally enter into a binding contract such as a lease, car payment or utilities contract, which makes it hard to find a place to live. Secondly, do you make at least $18,000 a year? Living on your own requires rent payment, as well as monthly payments for transportation, food, utlities, laundry, phone and general upkeep, as well as a cushion for unexpected expenses. Lastly, why is it you're considering moving out? If it's to be independent and mature, then it might the the right option. If it's to avoid trouble in your home, running from it may not be your best decision. Ask other young people who've been out on their own what they'r experience has been like and then look to yourself to see whether you think it would be a liberating or trying experience. Hello - The choice is completely yours sweetheart but you need to consider your babys welfare and the babys social interactions and everything else that comes with baby development. Living at home can be a god send because you will have your family there to support you, a comfortable home and accomodation, possibly low rent or rent free (if your lucky enough to get away with it lol) and your family may offer to babysit when you need them to, be there on hand for advice (they've been there before with you and siblings)and teach you everything you need to know to bring up a happy and healthy child. Good luck to you and all the best. :o)
