who here lives on their own?

What do you do, as in what job do you have? How are you doing living alone, as in financially? Man I have a lot of questions but those are the basics for now. And oh yeah, how old were you when you moved out. I just turned 23. I don't know, I've been thinking about it. I'm trying to make the best decision I can so I'm asking those who had been there before..

I live by myself. It's pretty good. Financially, not that bad if you keep other expenses down. :kick:

I'm close to it. Have a cheap apartment (cheap money-wise I mean) lined up and ready, just not biting the bullet yet and taking action.

Its hard to break out of the living-at-home comfort zone.

yea i'm really close too. i made the mistake of getting into debt, and so i have to pay that off first, but like this summer i plan to work full time and hopefully get out of here by the next year and start living my own life

I've lived on my own since I was 16. Back then I drove cabs on weekends and attended school during the week...sometimes. The cab company was Russian Jew and didn't give a sh!t about hiring a kid. I pulled in about 500 or so in cash a weekend minus gas. Enough to keep a small efficiency apartment in a ****ty section of Philly.

Obviously it was not ideal but my household wasn't either.

You can live on your own pretty easily as long as you live cheap. No eating out or going out. No new clothes. Cheap overprocessed food. Not hard at all.
