    I need a little help.

    I have been fighting with my family for some time now. The unstable home condition took a turn for the worse when I quit my job to pursue a little off time between high school and college. Even though I planned on picking back up and working for another year before college I wanted a little freedom from things. Well my dad saw it as me being lazy, a slacker, etc. And because of this we speak maybe 10 minutes out of each day.. for a month it was about 10 minutes outta the week. That may not seem like much to handle but when you live with someone then you tend to speak to them a little more then that. My sisters have grown to tell me to leave daily. Blah. That doesn't bother me. But my mom, who has supported me through everything now wants me to get a job and move out. So within the next couple of weeks I must find a decent job to afford my own living on now. Being 18 it will be sort of tough so I was wondering if some of the people that live on their own can tell me how much they spend on a weekly/monthly bases on important things. I realize I won't have net access anymore after I move out. I won't even have a computer. But I do plan on getting one down the line if it's possible and I'll try and be back on RB within a couple of months (lol..). ANYways.. I was wondering.. how much do you spend a week on.. food ? gas ? what's rent like these days ? things of that nature. I gotta try to figure out home much money I'll need to be making in order to survive. Thanks.

    Rent depends on where you live...

    seeing as you are in a popular area, youre prolly looking at around 650-700 for a shitty apartment..

    I spend roughly 5 dollars a day on food(althought i could probably get away with around 2.00 if i shopped right)..

    I use around 80 a month on gas..

    50 a month for a cell phone (no home phone)..

    70 for cable and another 70 for internet access..

    200 for car insurance..

    100 or so on misc.

    and i save the rest. jobs in your area probably pay more than here because that cost of living is higher..

    so it may vary..


    overall, if you are looking at getting your OWN apartment with no roommate, and choose to drive, youll probably spend at least 1000 a month..

    or you can get a roommate and a shitty car and spend around 6-700...

    1000 isn't too bad.. actually I could go for that.. if I can do it. I'll say to be safe.. 1200 a month would be ideal. I could afford that probably. I'll be getting a factory job anyways..

    Welcome to the real world man.

    It sucks.

    I'm lucky enough to be living with my old man.

    I pay $20 a week rent and buy my own food.. which I guess is alright.

    Really hits you after leaving school tho huh?

    Yea I probably won't go to college now. I'm mos def not telling my mom that though. It'll cause some serious shit. She wants me out but wants me to go to school.. like wtf. Stupid whore. I guess when I move out it'll be easier to see the reality of it all. I doubt I'll speak to my family much. Oh well. And yea.. it hits hard. For all of you still in High School.. enjoy it. The real world fuckin sucks.

    Try to get a friend to live with you and pay half the rent.
