Moving out of home..

I won't pull the 1-word answer on you, but in a word.......TONS! I would first figure out an area where you want to live. Explore the rents, looking at the high side. You will need 1st & last months rent, plus security. Which is usually another months rent. You will probably need down payments for phone, electric and cable..... Moving costs, if you are going to have a company come in. If you don't have furniture and are trying to be frugal there, go to a Salvation Army for those things. If it's nice weather, try looking at peoples yard sales. Sometimes they just don't realize what they have. Plus, there are always dishes and linens up for grab. and don't forget to dicker there. I'd look for a place that comes with appliances and then get yourself 1 very good food order to start. Maybe, since you are moving Mom and Dad will spring for that. As you are trying to save, start watching your parents on how they make more than 1 meal from the one they served that night. Hope ths helps...and GOOD LUCK.
