Gonna move out in a year without any financial help from the family... and i know i'm so totally unprepared for it. :] Moving in with mi novio, we get to throw sexy parties. we're hoping for a small house, but we might settle for a flat (that accepts pets oye... ). I'm saddened that i probably won't get to travel next year like i planned (east and west coast) since money is gonna be zapped away for paying for place to live, but i'm anticipating it. It would just be great to get away from my mum for a bit, she drives me insane :]
what was it like moving out for you guys? or what are your hopes when you do move out?

I'm moving out at the end of the summer - no more little sisters stealing my stuff!! *happy dance*
I'm terrified, though, because I'm close to broke and rent is going to hurt. Badly. x.x
But I'm more excited about it than I think I've been about anything else, because I'll finally be getting out on my own, away from my family and everyone who looks at me and instantly knows who I am, even if they've never met me before.
It's making me realize how much crap I have that I won't have room for in the apartment/house/whatever I end up living in. Which is going to suck a little bit, but eh. Oh well.

Good luck. :D
I dont really want to move out till I can afford to buy a house. Paying rent seems like such a waste of money. Ill probably buy a fixer upper and have my parents help me clean it up. They do it a lot with all the rental houses they own. If I do that Ill probably have to save every penny for the next two years.

Why do such young people want houses, houses are so awfully much work!? D:
My parents bought me my own flat less than a month ago, I'm superhappy and spending pretty much all my money on making it comfortable and nice. It's tiny, and everybody is telling me that in ten years' time I'm gonna have people rent it, or even sell it to get a bigger flat, but I love it so much.
It was a rather spontaneous idea, but I've always wanted to live in the city. I hope that it will save me a lot of time because I won't have to sit in the train for 2 hours every day to get to school / work, and that my relationship with my family will improve when I can actually visit them because I like spending time with them, instead of being forced to be with them all the time.

Still living with the 'rents. I will for another three years or so, until I get through with community college. That's fine, though, because I get along really well with my parents (usually) and I can't work and go to school at the same time so I couldn't afford a place anyway.
When I go away to college, I don't want to live in a dorm. I'm hoping I can rent a super-cheap apartment somewhere close to campus.
When I do get out on my own, after college, I want to move to a big city and get an apartment in the downtown area. But that probably won't happen since living downtown costs a bucket o' cash. Sigh.
I only want to live in the city for a year or two. Then I want to move somewhere where I can build my own house. I already have the blueprints. It's a modified farmhouse looking thing. It's pretty. heart And then I hope to live there with my dogs and cat for the rest of my life.

Good luck with your move!
I moved out to go to college and then I wound up with a job and just kind of stayed out, so it wasn't a big transition for me.
Right now I'm renting a house with two other girls, and while I would LOVE to have my own place, I'd rather split the rent and use the extra money to pay off my student loans. gonk
My relationship with my parents has improved since I left as well... my diet on the other hand... no more homecooked meals unless I home cook 'em.

Kastalio Why do such young people want houses, houses are so awfully much work!? D: Well, I dont really want a house in 2 years. I just want to have a good amount of money saved up so it can gain intrest as I travel around and get some higher schooling. Ill probably live with my parents into my 20s, unless I can get some friends to move out with me and share the rent. ;p

You're much too young to really keep up and financially support a house. I would advise against it. An apartment is a perfect way to start off on your own. It teaches you the values and responsibilities of living on your own without the major stresses and responsibilities of owning a home.
I've been living in my own place with my S.O. for a while and it's one of the most satisfying experiences in my life thus far. I would urge anyone old enough to move out, you won't regret it.

Leyna i woudln't mind a flat if i could find one that lets me keep pets... :[ not to mention my 'better' half wants a house cause of resale or somehting weird like that... flat just sounds easier lol With a house, unless it's paid off fully, you'll only get back the money you spent on it, minus the down-payment and what you spent on keeping up appearances. Unless the both of you plan on living there for a long number of years or the both of you both have steady careers, buying a home this early in life will only screw you over. That is if you and your partner even find a bank willing to grant you the loans needed to buy a home.

I'm living with my parents, and probably will until at least first year university, but after that I have no specific plans. I really don't care if a place is "nice" or not, so that'll probably make it easier.
My friend's mom is saying how she is going to buy him a fixer-upper because she dosen't have to pay taxes on it if it's for him*. He can't complain, and says he might as well live there and repair it. Small price to pay.
*(Don't ask me. I live in Canada, and that probably makes a difference. I have no idea how it works though.)
