[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doing the math, after rent and phone bill you'd be left with $440. Assume $200 for groceries/eating out/coffee, $100 to toiletries/paper goods, $150 for transportation, and... oh wait you're out of money. I totally understand wanting to move out on your own but until your financial plan/budget is rock solid and you're able to break even while still building up an emergency fund, it's just not a good idea.[/quote]

Honestly I only spend about $50 dollars bi- weekly on groceries and my family provides toletries for me (s,all family and we buy in bulk) Also I love this place because its a two block walk from my job so no transportation cost. I don't drive so no car expenses. If I need the bus I get on for free being a student.[/quote]

If you're only spending $25 a week on groceries then you are not eating enough or eating healthily enough. You said you have three jobs and are dropping one. I'm not a whiz at math but that seems like you'd have two jobs left over so when you say there are no transportation costs because the apartment is two blocks from your job, which job is that, and what about the other job?

Fine, so your family provides tp, tampons, shampoo, soap, conditioner, moisturizer, sunscreen, any makeup you may use, all your cleaning products, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, sponges, Windex, Swifter, etc. That's awesome of them. Are you prepared to rely on them for those things indefinitely? Do you foresee your salary going up? If so, when, and by what percentage? You're a student you claim, so the bus is free. Great. When you stop going to school will you have to add loan payments to your budget? [/quote]

I'm currently work as a nanny which is my main and highest paying job this is the job it's walking distance to. Yes I do see my salary going up I get a raise in July. Also I don't have student loans because we just pay out of pocket[/quote]
