Moving Out

I've been responding to a lot of people on my leaving mylot discussion baby... so most likely you'll get a lot of inquiries as well, in any case, I meant to just quit but then I realized it'd be a waste to lose the money, so I said we should make it to ten dollars and then quit, so that's what we're doing, lol. That's for your info, which you know, as well as for other people who need clarification or just want to know... I kind of "concealed" so to speak information, I mean I told everyone tidbits but not the whole story about us moving, I figured you could make a discussion about it and then clarify if need be.

I'll miss you guys on here but if it helps you out then do it for yourselves. I left home and never went back. My mom has cancer and now I'm staying with her, you can always come back home no matter how long you've been gone. Drop in with us when you can.

You will both be missed. Its fun to move out on your own...or sometimes even to a new place! Enjoy it. When i moved away from home the first time i moved in with my grandparents for the year for university. It was different from home but at the same time no bills to pay. Moving out on my own the year later was..overwhelimg and scary to say the least with bills and such but it was also very nice to have a place of my own. Coupons work really really well for saving money with groceries...combine them with sales!

aaawww! how sweet to try on your own. im sure it will work great. when i first married we lived with mother in law we moved out and made it fine. we did have to give up some things and we ate home made fries and peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches, which we lived on and i cant stand today but the great thing was we had peace in our home.

Hey Cowboy! I just responded to your lovely wife's discussion! I wish you both the very best and will miss you two! When I first moved out I was very scared! I moved out first with my ex-fiancee! We were living together for a year and then I decided that I didn't want to marry him so I kept the apartment and decided to live here on my own! I am still here 29 years later! I have had "almost marriages", but never did marry. I preferred working and living on my own. Right now I am living with my boyfriend for the last two years, but it looks like that is going to end soon too. It is going to be fine for the two of you because you are married and happy! You are going to love your new life! You both are young and have your whole life ahead of you! Everything is going to work out! Try to keep in touch if you can! Hugs, Opal

First of all, congratulation! Moving out is indeed a huge step in life. I moved up and live in another province to continue my study. I was terrified at first, but finally I could handle it all with no problem. I'm married, but we're still living with my husband's family because we don't have our own house yet. My husband refuse to rent one because he thinks it's better to save the money for our own house rather than using it to pay the rent. We hope this year we can make it. However, I like it here. My in laws are the nicest people. I have a newborn now, and they help me a lot.

Hey there, friend! I know this discussion was posted quite a while ago, but please know that you will be missed here! (Or perhaps things have been worked out so that you now have Internet all the time.) I remember the first time I was on my own. I would say I was only on my own part way the first time, though, because I went away to college, and my parents paid almost all the expenses. I was on my own in the aspect of general responsibility, but I had no idea what paying bills was all about! However, when I graduated from college, got back to working, and lived at home with my family for a year, I decided it was time to move out and get my own place. The situation wasn't great at home, so I was kind of booted out, but that's ok. I needed my independence! I got a small apartment where I lived within walking distance of my friend's apartment. She was a great help in showing me the ropes of the complex and everything. The bills were a little tough, but it was definitely doable on my single income. My fiance-now-husband moved out and got his own apartment shortly after me, so he was over almost every day after work. That was nice. My grandparents helped me with rent for a couple of months, not because I couldn't afford it, but because they wanted to be nice and allow me to have some extra money for some nice things that I couldn't have afforded with the tight budget my rent caused. All in all, it was a great experience, and I'm so glad I lived away from home before my husband and I got married. We closed on our house a month before our wedding, and have been enjoying being married and homeowners ever since! We don't make a whole lot, but we were wise enough to purchase a house well below our means while the market was really bad. It's like we got our house at half price! We've really never had to struggle to pay our bills, which has been wonderful. We've had some tight months, but we've never had to cancel cable, shut off or Internet or cell phones, or anything like that to pay utilities. I'm very thankful for that. My hubby and me work very hard for what we have, and we can take pride in that. I surely hope that you and your wife are able to do the same while still having some extra money on the side each month to go out on a nice date! Take care, my friend. I hope you both are back to myLot soon!
