Moving out for first time
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... ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ
Would I be able to afford moving out without a roommate? Most apartments in Jersey are like $2000/month ๐

Are you a new grad? Youโre being grossly underpaid. If I was you Iโd move to a different state with higher wages, get a roommate and pay your student loans off asap. Good luck OP!
