[kerryjoy]

Most youths find it difficult to get out of their parents home because they get it hard to shift from depending on parents to behind independent, what should you have minimum?

When once you have been able to pay your rents, you can actually start living alone. There is nothing like amount. All you need is your house rent and a source of income.

You should have at least three month salarys saved. First addition cost is rent. You didn't had it and now have it. Second is bills for new apartment. Third is buy some stuff for apartment like grocerys. In family home you already had it now fridge is empty.

You can start with any amount provided you are able to pay your rent. But importantly have a source of income and you would be good to go.

Yes, it is difficult to be independent and buy your own house or rent a house because when you start a job, it's difficult to pay a large amount of amount of money in house rent.

You forgot to add that he or she must have financial intelligence too unless he would run back to the parent's house by the time the rent expires and he can't renew again.

I haven't thought about it. also dislike living alone. It makes me lonely and blue. Even if I can afford to live alone, I will never do it.

Since college I have lived in another city and been separated from my parents and relatives, but I have many friends at the boarding house. they are from various cities. So the minimum amount of money required is food and drink costs, boarding costs, transportation, college needs, etc. Of course our costs of living are different.

I think at least you can afford to pay for the rent and have a relatively stable source of income to pay for the daily necessities.

 

[eLdavis]

Yes it takes time to actually adjust, but I do not think there is a minimum amount, the most important thing is you are able to work and care for your daily necessities.

In my country, you need at least $300 per month to live in a city.

For me l can say that so long as one has got like six months house rent and upkeep money then they are good to go for that matter.

It depends on the individual and other factors like; the kind of lifestyle of the individual, the cost of housing, the location of the house.

After leaving my parents' house, I had to come up with money for rent, a deposit, household items, and other expenses. Initially, I was unsure what amount I needed, but I estimated it to be around $800. Now that I am settled, I do not need to spend as much since I already have everything I need for my apartment. My main expenses now are just food and some bills. The rental cost include electricity, internet, and water.

Wow, you are lucky, the rent of your apartment is inclusive of your electric bills and internet. Even if you use the aircon day or evening, the rent remains the same. But I have my own home. I have not experience living alone.

 

[Stardom22]

For me l think that most important thing for one to move on with their own life from their parents is the availability for the permanent income source of for that reason.

 

[Starmix]

I cannot live alone so I cannot estimate as to how much is needed for a start up in living alone. Others said that they need $ 3000.

Anyone that wants to start living alone should ensure that he or she is earning a minimum living wage.
