Hi all. I want some input.
Ok right now I live with my folks. no big deal but we are in 15 miles from town wich is a big deal. And I dont pay nothing here except for my internet bill's eletrical bill's for my pc repair service. but Something is telling me to move out. But I do not make a emnough cash to get an apartment. right now I have like $500 a month and I got some pretty big bills i am paying back plus a new bass I am currently paying for and lesson's
What would you guys do? I dont want to be that Old guy anymore that lives with his folks like my uncle was. suggestions are open.
FYI = apartments here for a small 2 bed 1 bath flat is like $600 - $800 ( not including utility's )

Ehh, get a "real" part time job(by real, one that is consistent and pays well)
I'm assuming all you do is PC repair?
Another option is increase our rates. That's a pretty hefty price for an apartment, in my area it's not uncommon for "Lower value" houses to rent for that much.
Look into sharing an apartment with a buddy or get a job with higher pay, I moved out at 17 and have been well situated since then, just bought my first house this month at 22 :D Just keep you bills paid and skimp here and there and stay away from fancy things :p

well...all depends...
how old are you?
If you have life easy with your parants, but want to move out. Get a full time job or try to expand your Repair buisness while you live with your parants, and try to get a more permanent income.
Living with your parants allows you to save money. Which you need to do. you don't want to go rent an appartment and not have any other money to buy anything like Chairs, beds, A TV...etc...
What you have in your single room won't fill an Appartment.
Honestly, i would recommend you stay with your parants and get a better source of income via a actuall job, or doing more repair work.
But thats just my own opinion. I prefer to think things out and be ready instead of rushing head forward into things, then have to come crawling back because you realize that you wasn't quite ready yet.

Join the army!! The national guard pay for your college, and you get paid big $ for going to basic, and doing drill once a month. Think about it....ONCE A MONTH. :santa: You'll get to travel and see the world. You wont get shipped to iraq, national guard dosent go there, they go to afagastan and other little sutff like that. My dad was in afagastan for 6 months, and he loved it, aside from missing all his family back home.
lol, im all for the army, cause my dads a cournal in the national guard. Been in 24yrs, and he loves it

Well my thoughts
1. dont move out until you pay off your debts
2. wheny ou move out try to move out on your own - Why ?
Well moving in with a friend buddy might seem great - but what happens if that buddy loses his job and cant pay his bills? GUESS WHAT - you get to!! or get everything cut off - then it gets into owing money etc etc and problems
If your going to move out move out on your own - less worries, no hassles - might cost more, but in the end it is alot less stressful!
If you join the army - just dont whine if you get drafted for duty in some foreign country where you could get shot.
Like people said, get a more permanent job, even if its not fixing computers, you could make more than 500 a month doing a full time minimum wage job, and i'm pretty sure you can handle a more demanding job than just min. wage. If you work 40-50 hrs a week at 6 bucks an hour, thats 240-300 dollars per week, which equates to 960-1200 bucks a month, enough to pay for a small apartment, food, and basic needs. you'd have to be more frugal and maybe not enjoy so much leisure, but if you want independence it comes at a cost. Now if you could get a pc-repair job that paid more like 10 bucks an hour, then you can work 40-50 hrs a week and get 400-500 a week, giving you 1600-2000 per month, and making life more enjoyable. You just have to be prepaired to make sacrifices.

thank's guy's I may have to stay here for another year but working on soem leads to a perminate job with lots of funding. ( I will become a gopher ) wich i wanted to be sense I was able to drive ).
And to this statement .If you join the army - just dont whine if you get drafted for duty in some foreign country where you could get shot ( they will not let me in becuase of my heart tried 3 times ). and I would think it be exciting but yet scary at the same time.
Like the other guys recommended, it's definitely time to find a new job. At your age you should be able to find a job that pays 7-10 dollars an hour depending on where you live. I was making 12 dollars an hour this summer as a lifeguard and I'm only 20 so there's got to be a job in your area that pays more than you're making right now with your computer business.
Do you live in a large or small town and what jobs are you interested in doing? Even a job that you would consider boring would be worth it if it payed the amount you were looking for..... you don't have to keep the same job forever, just long enough to get some money saved up so you can afford rent, food and utilities for the month, and the security deposit. Don't forget most if not all apartments require at least one month's rent as a security deposit and sometimes the first and last month's worth of rent, so make sure you find out the owner's particular policy before you sign the papers.
Good luck :)

$500 a month? Wow you need a better job :/ try to get your A+ certificate, its easy to do you only need ONE book and pass two tests/exams and your there. Then you can get $10-12 an hour working with computers. This is not enough to make a living so youll need a small business or something on the side. Forget renting apartments its a waste of money youll never see again. Get a mobile home, they are bigger, better and cheaper than apartments plus you get most of your money back when/if you sell your mobile home. Pay no attention to sterotypes, not everyone living in mobile homes is hoodlims or trashy. Many people that dont make a "fortune" choose to save $ and get mobile home. I am likley to get one myself :)

I actually agree with you there, my brother and I are currently renting a trailer a few minutes away from our campus. The rent on a trailer is typically less than that on an apartment, and the trailers usually have more ammenities than the apartments do. We have a dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer and refrigerator provided with the trailer, and we're paying 520/month in rent with water, trash, lawncare, and basic cable provided.
Trailers are typically larger than your average apartment as well, so you'll have a bit more room for your stuff. I know there's a stigma of sorts against trailers, but it would be worth your while to go look a few to compare them to any apartments you're looking at.

Life is a symbiosis. If and when you are ready to get a life without your parents then you are. Then and only then will you forget all money and make the move as your own person and leave the nest your folks have made.
No, I am not trying to degrade who you are. I am suggesting that it may be good for all involved. (either way..) You know (how much) you do as far, as conjoining for your current home life. You may help your folks, you may give them an 'un-burden' of some things they enjoy. Only you know if it will be a burden; your folks will suffer if you leave. Even if they desire the "getting on your own". If they want you out, then get somewhere. Don't worry about money.
I moved out from the nest in '85'. Yes I failed in some aspects. Some aspects I overcame. If your tired or ready to go on your own, use your life experience and do it.
When you are ready the money will not matter, you will just do it. If it is a good thing, then stay the course and help the family.
Back in the "old days". Families stayed together for their whole lives as one unit. They stood firm to enjoy comforts of combined monetary pooling. Today it is a social stigamtism.

FYI = apartments here for a small 2 bed 1 bath flat is like $600 - $800 ( not including utility's )
I don't see how you can get your own place, the general rule of thumb is you need to make roughly 3x the price of rent to be able to live comfortably.
If a $600-$800 flat is what they charge, you need to make $1800. Don't forget, the $600-$800 flat per month is not your only expense, there is power, water, cable/Internet, food and many other expenses. A roomate may be your best option.
DerekDRP... have you always lived at home? 32 years is a long time man and I hate to break it to but your never gonna get out and live by yourself making 500 a month. You need more income my friend.
If your looking for part time and don't want to work in fast food or retail you can make decent money ($8-12 hour) working in a warehouse, as a delivery guy, or at a place like home depot. 25 hours a week at $10 an hour gets you 1K extra per month and still leaves time for your pc business.
Check the paper and internet or print up copies of your resume and drive business to business dropping it off and filling out applications today. If your looking for non-retail holiday work check out christmas tree lots or garden center type places that sell outdoor christmas stuff starting in a few weeks.

you need to seriously get your priorities correct if this is what you truly feel needs to happen.
1. you must find better job ooportunity
2. pay off all debts and do not create any more
3. save money before you decide to move out (i cant stress that enough)
do your parents have good credit ?
you may want to bypass the whole moving out thing for a bit. save your butt off and buy a house. no sense in paying rent when you could put that towards owning it. play your cards right and your there. even if it takes you longer it will be worth it in the end. you will have so much more satisfaction in the end.
you have to decide whats more important. bass guitar or moving out... etc..
its alot easier meeeting a companion also when your out on your own. having one helps a ton too. unless you spoil her and pay everything..

I know alot of hard working people that do whatever they HAVE to do to make a living. Your statement above reminds me of the first Vacation movie, where "Uncle Eddie" was dead broke, but holding out for a "Managment position"...
What would you guys do? I dont want to be that Old guy anymore that lives with his folks like my uncle was. suggestions are open.
Get a real job maybe? No one said life was easy, sometimes you have to actually put forth some effort in life. Or you will end up being 32 and still living with mommy.
I would not move into a mobile home unless you can pay it off instantly and never pay any interest it's not worth it. You can find decent housing elsewhere mobile homes will just depreciate more than it's worth ( unless it's paid for then you can make money off it ) And jobs are jobs it doesnt matter if you pick up trash as long as you think you get paid enough money to live how you want that is all that matters. I run a Pizza Hut as RGM in the food industry i started out as a dishwasher now im 20 own my own house and two cars ( wife works as a shift under me while going to college ) do whatever you have to just get the $$$$$$ :p

Very harsh. But i do like honesty. right now i got a few plan's and no none of them is robbing a bank lol.
anway's one of them is to volunteer for a guy that builds driverless vehicles. Because he said his business is getting to the point of paying his workers.
You might want to consider finding a stable job..... and you'll be taking a risk by assuming that this guy's product will take off and he'll make enough to pay you your salary.
What town do you live in? That way we might be able to look in your yellow pages and see what's in your area.
DerickDRP - 32 and living @ home. poohwah. Some of the comments here have handled you with kid gloves. Other's comments have mentioned getting a 'stable' job. I'm 48 and have 2 kids in college (paying for their tuition) and have worked my ars off since the age of 15. I worked in food service, retail, etc. I never went to college, but I did trade school. (that didn't pan out) I married at 23yrs old, when I was working a full time warehouse job. I quit that job to go to school full time for computers and worked partime. I took out loans for school. I graduated computer school and got a job, and worked my way up to where I am today (a high 5 figure salary) SO GET OFF YOUR LAZY BUTT AND DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE - shame on you, and shame on your parents for letting you stay so long at their home. My kids have a one time rule for moving out. They can move home one time, for one year max, then they are OUT.

Seriously, none of us know the situation. He could have had to move back home at one time or whatever, we don't know. It's commendable that you all said the truth, but be a little more sensitive. Just because he lives at home at 32 does not mean he is lazy, etc. like mentioned above.
As for the original poster, sometimes you got to put the pride down a little and get the job that is less glamorous to make a buck. I had to do it, the husband has and I am sure most people have. No one is too good for any job. A job is a job and a good ethic makes it a good job.
If you want to futher your education, you should. Depending on where you live, a bachelor's is quickly becoming the equivalent to a high school diploma. It's very common and now you need a master's. You can do a job and go to school. Heck, become a nurse. It's a fantastic job, hard working, but pays damn well. You also get your loans forgiven as a result.
Good luck on your journey. :)

michigan is like a black hole.
if i lived anywhere else, i would be on my feet and doing pretty good.
i dont think its the person, i think its the context.
im in the same boat. you gotta know people to get the lowliest jobs.
blood relatives, that sort of thing... (who in this town isnt? i must be one of the few)
from someone who lives in small town michigan after growing up in a huge city in tejas. i know. the idea of walking out and geting a job is totally bogus.

10-13-05, 01:31 AM
well i can speak from experience..
i lived in omaha nebraska. hard to find a good paying job unless you highly qualified.
so instead of going to school and working a crap job that doesnt pay the bills i decided to move to california and get a higher paying job and go to school here.
ruff move and very hard on family but i had to ... i couldnt sit there and let half my life pass me by.
he has options, how he wants to use them is up to him ...
How bad do you want it ???
my situation is semi similar to your but, im 18, a full time student in college, and work 30hrs a week @ $7/hr to gimmi $700/month @ blockbuster after taxes...i really want to move out but @ this point i dont think it would be wise esp since my parents do provide me w/EVERYTHING minus car and gas(i pay for those)
SSS ~ iv never heard that before..but it makes sense to me :) ill keep that in mind!
but ya man..if your making $500/month your just not trying hard enough ~ if you go out and find a job that even pays $8/hr ~ work 40hrs a week and you'll be makin $1200 (b4 taxes)
find a job that pays $10 and your upto $1600..wow i need to get my ass over to geek squad..they pay 10-12/hr ^^
another way to make $$ if your up for trying is to birdog ~ find forclosures, asses their rehab cost, figure out profit, compile all the info and sell for $3k :shrug: heh..my mom's an agent and keeps pushing me to do it!..and i should esp since i have access to MLS, know where buyers are, and may even be able to buy my own house to rehab via private money from investor..damn i wish i could just get off my but and do that :p

not here in oklahoma, and if they do go, there only gonna be there a max of 6 months, but then can vouunteer to stay longer I think. I might be wrong, i'll ask my dad when he gets home from work
EDIT: you were right. my dad said theres some national guard guys there, and they do stay there a year w/ six months of training upfront. Anyways, it still would be fun. Im defnally joining when i turn 17 w00t:D

You wont get shipped to iraq, national guard dosent go there, they go to afagastan and other little sutff like that.
Huh? 2 of my buddies friends in the Guard died in a grenade attack in Iraq a few months ago. They're National Guard and they were deployed to Iraq.
As for moving out, if you have the means then go ahead and do so. If not, then stick around and build the means. If you're close, might want to save money for a few months, that way you have a buffer of cash incase something happens. If I were you I'd save up a good 2 months rent incase you get in a money crunch after moving.
As others have said you will need to furnish the new place, but you can do that on the cheap if you know someone with a truck and hit some yard sales, garage sales or even thrift shops.
Either way, best of luck to ya.

just dont flame me when i say my age. I am 32 . and my uncle was 49 before his mom moved to flordia anway's good idea I been thinking of going to collage get a real degree and then work for a real pc company.
Nothing wrong with that dude. I'm 33 and I'm still "at home". I pay rent though, and have since I was 18. Roughly $450 a month, then I pay my own phone, I-net, and anything else that need to be done around the house. You need to find better employment though.

step 1: remove your debt ( that means pay it off)
step 2: do some research and self searching to decide exactly what you want to do
step 3: start progressively by getting a better job in that or a related field to what you ultimately want to do.
step 4: save at least enough money to servive on your own for 6 months . that is how much money you will burn in your first month if you move out and you already do not own a car and furnature.
step 5: dont be afraid to buy used .
step 6: stop buying Mc Donalds

Ok right now I live with my folks. no big deal but we are in 15 miles from town wich is a big deal. And I dont pay nothing here except for my internet bill's eletrical bill's for my pc repair service. but Something is telling me to move out. But I do not make a emnough cash to get an apartment. right now I have like $500 a month and I got some pretty big bills i am paying back plus a new bass I am currently paying for and lesson's
What would you guys do? I dont want to be that Old guy anymore that lives with his folks like my uncle was. suggestions are open.
just read this over a few times.. your own words..
being 32 and the situation you are in i wouldnt take this lightly. i mean you posted on ocfourms to get advice.
what kind of med's are you on ?
maybe no matter how you "feel" you will need to stay at home with mom and dad.
have you had a girlfriend ?
how about any real responsability ?
and what do your parents think about it ?

maybe no matter how you "feel" you will need to stay at home with mom and dad. ( not really I take care of my self an very independent. ( an showed i could move out long time ago ( another storie )
have you had a girlfriend ? I had girlfriend's I can usally get them but keeping them is a different story.
how about any real responsability ? Lot's keep house clean take the trash out so on ( much as the next guy )
and what do your parents think about it ?Parant's rather see me at home for a little longer becuase of the economy

Bro,
If your ready to leave you will. If your an asset to your current home. Do what you can to enrich the home and prepare to make your wishes reality.
No person here, but you can make this happen. :D

i wanted to move out when i was 18, but after thinking realistically i moved out at 23.
i landed a full time job, good money (well, ok), and enough to cover expenses with one paycheck vs. 2. i got an apt close to work (5 miles), free internet/cable here (helps loads)....figure in groceries, toys etc, you have to calculate and inflate that price a little. even though i find myself eating taco bell and fast food most of the time.
having a job that is stable is #1. don't move out with a temp job, a job that doesn't give good medical/dental benefits (your parents can only cover you so long).
edit: and don't think you can survive on top ramen (it get's old :)
take your time!
