avrg. cost to move out?
since im 17 now my years relying on my parents to keep a roof over my head is getting smaller, even though i know they will always let me live with them i still have that urge to fly from the nest. I did some research and made a rather silly summary of how much it might cost me to move out, im not sure if ill wait till i finish college or high school, but my idea of the cost came to about $15.5k for the first year on my own, you know renting an apt or house and all the little things like groceries and furniture, but I want to see of anyone could tell me how much the avrg. amount of money is that i would be spending to live on my own just so im prepared?

I just moved into an apartment last month. I will tell you it's not cheap.
Moving out takes more thought than you probably thought of already.
A cheap apartment these days run from no cheaper than $750.00 each apartment is different so it's hard to give you an estimate of how much money would be spend if you moved. Some apartments come with unities. My apartment comes with the water and the heat. However I still need to pay all the other stuff eletricity, food, cable, internet etc. I would highly suggest if you don't already to save money make sure you have at least 2k in the bank minimum. As it's always saver to have it than to not have enough. Food a week depends on how much you eat ($75.00) say your rent is 800.00 /monthly you are already up at 875. I would suggest looking for a room mate if not maybe you could go half and half with a friend. That's about all I can suggest for now and if you have a Price right near you I would suggest shopping there for food as I went last night and got a whole cart full for 80.00.
Good luck!

There are a lot of different factors to consider, like whether you are planning on a roomate, and the average cost of living in your area. It sounds like you are a smart person, with a decent grip on reality, so your estimations are probably about right. Now, since you have come up with an educated estimation, you should add another two months average onto the final result for emergencies and other unforseen expenses.
