    Default Moving Out of Parents Home - HELP!

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    hey
    I am an 18 yr old female (turning 19). I currently live with my mum. I have a 19 yr old boyfriend and we are thinking of moving out and into our own house (or with his grandparents, whom he lives with). I want to move out of my mums house, as we are almost always fighting/ arguing with each other and i'm sick of it.
    we have had the thought for a few months now and have done our research on cost of appliences, funiture and the house itself, we are just stuck on the bill cost. I've ask around about what its like to live 'alone' and they all make it sound like its the worst thing ever. I've ask my brother who moved out of home at 15 and went to live with his father (he is now 26), my sister was kick out at 16 (she is now 21) i've ask my aunty and other family members and they all say i should wait. But i can't any more.
    Me and my boyfriend have jobs but they are not full time or perment. I am studying at TAFE and he is doing an apprenticeship. i have a lot of money saved up but i dont wanna use it all and i save between $70-$200+ a week but money is still a issue (i have more money saved up than my boyfriend but he makes more money than i do with our jobs)
    I wanna know how did you move out? i want opinions and tips on moving out.

    Firstly you have to ask yourself, if you didn't have a boyfriend, would you still be moving out?

    Because if you move in with him and his grandparents, if things don't work out, where do you go?

    Base this decision on what YOU want to do, not move out because you have a boyfriend and want to live with him.

    Moving out can be tough, and being out there on your own, paying your own bills and so on, isn't as easy as it looks. If you do move in with your boyfriend, bills have to be split in half and each pay equal amounts, as you say you have more money saved. You say he earns more but you have more saved, so you seem more practical with money.
    You really have to think this over before any decisions are made.

    If it's okay with you that all of the money you have saved will be gone in the blink of an eye, then move out or move in with your boyfriend.

    If not? Then don't.

    While I don't know your situation, I think it will be far easier and better financially for both of you, if you patch things up with your mother.

    Ask yourself some tough questions:

    Why do mom and I fight?

    What are most fights about?

    If I were her and she were me, would it be the same result? Why? Why not?

    Fighting is generally very childish or over stupid little childish things. Mature adults dont fight very often. Mature adults discuss and work through their problems and concerns without allowing it to degrade to fighting.

    There are many amazing ladies in this forum that have probably had similar life experiences with their mother's...listen to them, learn from them, do what the majority of them recommend.

    As a man, my ability to help you is limited.

    I wish you all the best.

    If you are thinking that you never gonna fight with your boyfriend ever in you whole life than think again. Where was the fault and who was in the fault?
