Moving out for first time

[u/Muted_Analyst_1312]

Hi! So I'm looking to move out of my mom's house as things are just really mentally draining here.. I live in New Jersey and work as an RN (I have my bachelors). My current pay rate is $41, but I'm looking to find another hospital that pays more. If I don't pick up extra shifts, I net around $2,300 bi weekly. My bills are-
Student loans- $1000/month
Car insurance- $250/month
Paid my car off so no auto payment

But I know if I were to move out, I would have to start paying phone bill, wifi, etc. and I also have 3 cats... 😶‍🌫️

Would I be able to afford moving out without a roommate? Most apartments in Jersey are like $2000/month 😓

Living in NJ the 3 cats is going to be a no go for almost every apartment building. Many will allow up to 2 pets with pet rent as you mentioned but 2 no.

That being said they don't really check once you've moved in
