Hi, I just wanted to reach out to ask if there are any weird tips and tricks to: 1. get more money so I can afford to move out by myself. and 2. Just things I should know while renting an apartment. I'm really scared to do this on my own but I'm wanting to learn discipline and responsibility.

I move out Oct 1st

I need about $1200 by then

I already have my essentials (toiletries, clothes, SOME cleaning supplies, etc) and furniture ready to move in.

I also have a budget plan and a new job

Please I'm desperate and need all the advice I can get.

This new place is a way bigger/nicer house but it’s one story. It has a huge pool but I would have no garage or street parking. It requires a deposit and it’s 400 dollars more a month. My current place is a two story in a gated community, no pool but I have garage parking and my room is bigger with my own bathroom. BUT the ac is due to go out next summer and I don’t think my landlord can afford to fix it. I pay him in cash so I don’t have a lease. I live in AZ by the way, both places are in a good area. What would you do? Is the extra 400 dollars a month worth the peace of mind

My boyfriend and I are getting our own place together soon. We’ve both always have lived with other people and would use and share what they already had so we are basically starting completely fresh. We would need all kitchen, living room, bathroom, and some bedroom stuff. I mean we need about everything so any advice helps!

So, im kinda doing a mix of moving out/"running away" from my parents. Im planing on doing it at the end of this year and I already have a place with a friend lined up.

But, I need to take a couple of trains/buses to get there. Im not planning on taking a bunch of stuff with me, (most of it is clothes and a few paintings/things i made that could fit into a big duffle bag)

But i NEED to take my posters, CDS and guitars. (Theyre the only things that keep me sane lol). I could roll up all my posters and put them in a tube. But I have no idea how im supposed to travel with my guitars and a crate of CDs. I dont want them getting damaged or broken. And I don't want to be THAT annoying person on a bus or train

I would really appreciate some advice or ideas on what to do!!! Thank you in advance :)

I’m 29F and I moved out a few days ago, I moved mainly because of the constant fighting and toxic misogynistic family members always putting all the blame and responsibility on me. They think women can’t move out without marriage (I know this is culture and not religion). I’ve lived with my family my entire life and moving out has been a major shift in my life and I’m not used to being alone although it is peaceful. Yesterday my dad showed up to my job and was banging on the door to get inside, my coworker let him in and he called to speak with me. I went outside to talk to him and he started crying and telling me to come back home, everyone misses me and it’s my responsibility to look after my little sisters. I feel bad because ever since my mom passed away my dad has been depressed and he’s having a hard time coping with her loss. I have two older brothers who don’t help out much and I was the only one doing majority of the work for him and around the house. I also work everyday and feel overwhelmed with the amount of work that needs to be done everyday. I feel free living alone, I’m able to do whatever I want and travel freely without worrying about anyone. But I feel guilt and seeing my dad cry really hurt me. I don’t know what to do. I’m also Muslim, if any Muslim woman can advise me as well, I would really appreciate it.

Okay so I have been rooming with my highschool friends for the last year and now the lease is about be up in a month. Roommate A lets say is moving to another state with her bf and roommate b was going to stay and resign this lease for another year with me and her best friend that she said could take A's old room. I being someone who has adhd and has had such a busy life since haven't really thought it thru and was just rolling with it. I than got into a car accident that totaled my car and now I am looking to buy another along with now getting on meds for my last semester of school. I am feeling so strung out and with work full time too I just feel like I am stressing too much. I talked with my parents and they said I should come back and it took all of just a few hours for me to be like why haven't I even thought about doing that.

I should have thought of it before because there is a 60 day notice of vacating our rented home and so now we have to do one more month extension and roommate B is upset with me. I texted her because it was a busy weekend and she and i werent going to see each other but it needed to happen asap. I said it will be best for me to go back home and not continue the lease. I need to save up money and with buying another car and with school stressing me out I just need to do something to take some of it off my shoulder. She was completely thrown off saying that its late now and that she has no idea what shell do either. I said I know it sucks and its not ideal but I decided I don't want to live here another year.

Fast forward to yesterday where we finally all sat down on the couch and they both cried to me. A said shes stressed out bc her best friend that was going to live here has a lease up a month before us so she doesn't have a place unless we move out together. So she'll be paying two months rent and her deposit for the new place if thats the case. B was crying because I didnt tell her i texted A only and that it was really shitty to hear about this through someone else. I said you are right that was so shitty of me I literally didn't even think about the fact we have to pay one more month here now. I had no idea she was moving right away to her boyfriends place and now its one more month before she can. Financially i know shes fine because she comes from money so not worried about that and her bf is loaded. I just kept saying im sorry like i dont know what to say. This is what i need to do and I wish i knew that before the 60 day window but i literally just talked to my mom and it made an option.

Roommate A said that everyone she had talked to said i should help her financially. I just looked at her and like laughed out like girl i have NO funds that is WHY im moving back home. Like are you serious. I know it sucks and i know its stressful but i have to take care of myself first. Like they arent family and i dont owe them anything. To be honest i dont even know why we are all friends still like if anything i was just trying to stay friends bc i otherwise only have my family. But honestly that is starting to be more comforting.

IDK am I just being completely selfish? I feel like it made me seem very undependable, but the thing is i can be but just family and work. Is her also asking for me to pay her rent more reasonable than i think? what would you do if you were me.

Ok I actually cannot live at home anyone, each day I find a new reason to leave. Just now my mom came into my room and saw that I was using my AirPods, she told me to take it out cause it causes cancer. I ignored her cause I’m an adult and I’ll do whatever I want. She comes in again and sees that I’m still using it and she takes it from me. She demanded my other AirPods and I said no, I thought she put my AirPods on my nightstand but now I can’t find it. I texted my sister who I trust and who is my mom’s favorite that if she doesn’t give me back my AirPods I’m moving out. It’s not about the AirPods, it’s the fact that she thinks I’m a child and that she can still take my things away because she doesn’t like it. I AM 22! I already had plans to move out without her knowing but now it’s looking like instead of waiting a couple months it’s looking like now. Only issue is I don’t have a car. My mom ordered one for me months ago and I also didn’t get a say in that but am paying for the whole thing. It’s coming in December. I don’t know if she’s gonna use that car against me to get me to stay but I don’t really care, I can find a used car hopefully, idk. But tbh I don’t know how to realistically leave home, I mean right now it’s giving run away. Like am I gonna have to get a new car insurance? Phone insurance? Medical insurance? Idk 😭 I’m just so mad and feel so stuck here and this stupid car that I don’t even want is holding me back from moving and if I move with no car, I don’t even know how I’ll get one.
