Like venom said..
I would look for apartments that offer utilities included in the rent. That helps out a lot.
Bills range in price according to how much you use, and where you live.
I live in a big city so my bills are like this.
1200 for rent.
100-120 for electricity (AC takes a lot...)
150 for water
100 for internet, and phone (no cable but with cable it would be 150)
200 for gas for the truck
400 for food and such
100 for random things like a new part for the truck, or replace something that broke in the house
80 for the cell phone bill
So far were at 2350 a month....divide by 2 (assuming your friend splits the cost) is 1175.
This is just about what we pay in my city...
Then you have to take into account going out to eat, the movies, fun stuff, clothes, video games, and so forth.
Be prepared before you move out...It can get expensive...

It's hard living on your hard. So far as prices of living are concerned, it's based on what city and/or state you reside.
I moved out on my own at the age of 17. I had a baby, and I have lived on my own every since. Why not go to college, since you just graduated from highschool? This would give you the experience of living on your own in addition to getting an idea of how to budget wisely so that you can pay bills when you get an apartment of your own. I am listing bills that I have always had to pay associated with living on your own:
rent or mortgage
rentors or home owners insurance
Electric bill
Water bill
Cable bill
Phone bill
Sewage & trash bill if not included with the water bill
Stuff you need to buy for the house: things your parents' had in their houses, (essentials) not like china cabinets and all the luxurious things - economical, things to get ya by - toiletries, eating utensils, pots, pans,microwave - oh and find out if you have to have your own refrigerator and/or stove. if you need more detail, email me - sophia_pettus@yahoo.com
I do want to encourage you to go to college- life is hard enough out here without a college degree, it will be hard to make the $ you deserve to make - even consider a technical college or community college if you don't want to attend an university
