Hey guys, I am 17 and in another year i plan on moving out with a few friends but i want to get some input on some things. I figure by the time i move out that i can have up to 15000 to 20000 dollars saved up. I have been looking up apartments which brings me to my first question. Do you think it would be better to live in an apartment or would it be better to find a cheap house? i figure a house would be better because its an investment and you own it but i wanna hear some opinions? Another thing is i wanna know what all i have to be paying to live on my own so that i can see how much i will need to make at my job. If i look into getting a house i would like to know what costs are involved when purchasing a home for the first time. I will be living with 4 or 5 people so i dont know how exactly that will affect budgeting. well i hope that some of yal will be a help and i would appreciate and help or advice
