      flip acoin I'm getting kicked out in 2 months and i agree. I looked at apartments and I'm fucked lol. I can't afford a apartment child care and car note. The cost of living in Cali is ridiculous.

  • @BeeGoldenSunflower
    @BeeGoldenSunflower Před 8 lety +162

    I would also like to add before you move out get things like plastic cups, paper plates, dish washing liquid, laundry detergent, mop bucket, Ramen, Can goods etc in bulk, prior to actually moving out. It can help save on the cost while you are actually on your own. That can add up and bite you in the ass later on.

    • @firstnamenicole
      @firstnamenicole Před 7 lety +6

      Ashley Golden yes!!! I started a stockpile (w/ toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, hand soap, clorox wipes, etc) about two months ago for my new apartment and I know it'll save my ass when I move next month so I won't be stressed financially or mentally. I'll have more important things to worry about than purchasing small things the first few weeks I move in.

    • @firstnamenicole
      @firstnamenicole Před 7 lety +3

      + the key to buying things beforehand is finding the best deals and even couponing a lil

    I lived with my parents for 37 years until they pasted away. My father from a heart attack and my mother from colon cancer. I'm 42 now and I still live in the same house. It's hard not seeing them anymore.

      IamKayRenee At the beginning it was very hard. But as time went by it got easier. Time does heal all wounds. I did some remodeling around my parents house to make it look like my own. Now a days it's all good. I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking.

There’s nothing more fulfilling then listening to your self and supporting yourself. I recently just did a video on the same topic pretty sure y’all will like it. Much love ❤️

I just feel it’s time to spread my wings and try something for myself. I’m honestly scared thankfully my best friend is also renting a room in the same place and that gives me peace of mind. Hope for the best though. Other videos put moving out down instead of giving tips to help those that see a lighter side in it thank you for that

      @darkapothecary4116 Před 8 lety +13

      I would aim for 1500 at the lest. if you are moving into a apartment you have to make at least 3×rent before they accept your request. depending on where you go you have to factor in start up or transfer fees for electric and water start up and all. if you can aim for 1500 or 2000 would help absorbed the moving complications. you thought need to make sure you can keep it up at least make enough for the bills. foods and gass is a unknown cost each month though.

      @motomookie8032 Před 7 lety +14

      Shay Renae Secure a job. Put furniture on layaway. Save money. Start buying toiletries, pops, pans, dishes. Shower curtain. Make sure you buy a vacuum cleaner. Find a place that has a washer and dryer in unit. Be walking distance to public transportation if u don't have a car. Do not have roommates. They will destroy your experience and your learning curve. Good luck.

    I honestly can't wait till I move out, I'm 18. I want to be able to support myself and be dependent, I know I can be. I want a job asap and be able to do it while in school. Still in highshool. And sadly didn't graduate, but I know or sure I will this year. Most confident I've been of anything. I've been changing everyday to ready myself when the day I do move out. Like your channel and advice, I'll subscribe:) want to be able to move out by next year when school is over or if I'm making enough, hopefully move out before. I know it'll be tough at first but I'm ready for what comes ahead.

    Thanks man that was really helpful. Im planning on moving out just before school starts. My parents are opposing me leaving but i just think that is time to go. I have a well paying job and im about to start school. Any tips on how to ease my parents into accepting me moving out?

      @@leonela3947 budget lol dont spend wrecklessly because there is no one to bail you out if u do. I also recommend developing a bit of cooking skill, itll save money and keep u from getting fat (if you cant cook, the urge to order food will be too great for most people to resist) have your expectations together, youll spend the majority of your time working and youll be tired when you get home and all of those parties and activities you think youll have, you wont😅😅

  • @TheTruthFadeswithTime28

    Thanks for the video man. I have this issues where my dad is verbally abusive to my mom. My mom is in poor health so it makes it worse ( I'd rather not go into the details). I want to move out and get away from my verbally abusive dad but I also need to stay home to take care of my mom. I only have enough for a one bedroom apartment and idk what to do.

      i think we both know what the best thing to do is.
      your mom should be save.
      unless you think your dad should be in prison, find another way to eather separate them or fix it between them.
      you'r wise enough to figure out how to help your mom, eventho it sometimes seems diverent.
      if you are grown enough to move out, you are grown enough to keep trying.
      succes and i hope your mom gets better.
