Tired of living at home with my mother

In a word: Budget. You can't set up a budget until you know what your income will be. When you know that, add up your monthly bills, then add in the cost of food, clothing and so on. Don't forget insurance payments, a little money for fun and so on. Whatever is left will be available for a place of your own and you will have to look for something that costs only that much. You can make some adjustments starting now by learning to not spend money on non essentials and disciplining yourself to save money whenever you can.

Its nice to live living at home with your mother when we are about 10 to 16 years old, then we wanna get away :D

I can certainly understand how you feel. I graduated last spring and got my B.A.. And I had to live with relatives for a while. It's definitely not easy living with parents, finding a job, and such. I think that the best thing you can do is to keep trying and do the best that you can. When it comes to bills, the key is to budget, and stick to it. It won't be easy, but so long as you try to make it work, I'm sure that you'll manage.

There are so many heavily indebted people nowadays. They pay more than they get. Because of this, they have to rob Peter to pay Paul. This continues for many months and years. I can not blame them all for notb being careful about spending their money. They need money to keep living: feeding the family, paying regular bills, etc. I can not give you some solutions as I myself am heavily indebted and trying to get out of it. Currently I am trying to sell my house and buy a cheaper one, so I will have the saving to pay the debt off.

Yeah, So do I, I live with my mother.....She is old, and I have responsibility to take care. Of course, I've a dream to be have independent live. You should get full time job, to reach your dream. It was common issue of undergraduate people, your mom must be tired....because it's your time to show your responsibility

Ya its really terrible after 23 years.the age is totally for getting a job. you just speak your mother frankly she will realize that my son is now grow up.

Try to find job first before thinking of moving on. Or else you will be facing more debts. I know how you want to live independently but the situation doesn't allow you to do this time.

Hi, Ayumitakashi, you sound just like my daughter and she is almost in your situation. She is 25, she has graduated, she still has no job. At the same time she wants to live without her mother and have "a personal space". She says this too often with an angry voice. Maybe I should feel guilty for this situation? Or maybe she should make something to get what she wants? By the way I still pay all the bills and buy the food in the house. I don't mind to take care of my daughter, even if she is not a child any more. But I don't deserve to hear her angry comments. Sorry that I had to write all this to you. I just wanted to describe a bad situation that could befall on you if you speak like this to your mother. I understand your need to be free, to live on your own. But the times get harder and harder. Living together you can save money, you know. And it will be easier for you and your mother if if you don't repeat that you are tired of living at home.

Before you make any big decisions like moving out on your own I would do a little planning first. I understand your need for wanting to move out on your own because I felt the same way once upon a time. I didn't have any huge student loans to pay, but I did have a few bills that I had yet to pay. It can be very scary moving out on your own but it can also be very exciting as well. What you don't want to do though is to move out only to have to move back home after a few months or a year because you couldn't afford to pay your rent. So here's what you need to do. First & foremost get a full time job because you will need one. You can't even think about moving out on your own w/out having one. Next get a few of those apartment guide magazines or newspapers so you can roughly get an idea of what rent is going for in your area. Then pick an amount in your head that you think you would spend on food, add in your student loans, what you would pay for your phone, electric or anything else that you would have to pay for once you were out on your own. Add that all up & subtract it from your paycheck(once you have a job of course)& that will give you an idea of what you would have to pay out monthly. That way you can see for yourself if you would be able to handle moving out on your own or not. If you can't afford to move out on your own just yet then don't. There is no shame in living at home for a little while longer. This will give you the time to save up a little money first so that way you can be ahead with a little extra to spare. Better to plan it this way rather then to move out, be unable to pay your rent/bills & have to move back home again maybe this time for good, right?

You think adults/parents/not students haven't got high bills? Wake up we all have and many do work but still have to pay for years (20 or so over here) for the loans they had during their study. You might be tired of living with your mother, I guess she is tired of taking care of you too. Make a financial plan what you have to pay off every month and you will see what is left over for living (plus buying clothes, shoes, paying doctor/dentist, relaxing/going out etc etc). If you will succeed in living on your own all depends on the fact how willing you are to give up the easy life you have with your mom. How responsible you are with paying off and how realistic you are (party time is over no way to safe). We all been there and most of us succeed. So if we can you can too.

Always remember my frend, sad moments in life are not permanent. you will get a good job and all yout debts will be eased off..:)
