well I can myself a tip, DON"T DO IT haha I'm not ready, even though I really want to. I have a lot to learn and living on my own has a lot of responsibilities. For example managing a monthly budget to make sure I don't spend more than I have, paying the utility bill, cooking or buying food, finding time to clean and a whole bunch of other stuff. I can afford to live on my own but my budget would be so tight that I wouldn't have money to go have fun or money to save for a special trip or any gadget I want. Plus, how can I leave my mom's home cooking for fast food. The reason I want to move out is because I want to grow more as an individual. But one thing is wanting something and another is dealing with the consequences that come with it. Plus, once I moved out I'm probably not going to see my family as often. So enjoy them will you can, or do you think moving out is the best way to begin my independency?
