How old were you when you moved out

Why dont you move to a bedsit? The £100 was for student accomodation but this was a few years ago but even now I see many student accomodations offering like £200 deposit

I pay £400 per month for a 1 bedroom flat and would pay £350 for a beautiful flat in a rough area about 20 minutes walk away(and it would be 2 bedroom!)

If I wanted a bedsit I would be paying £200-£300 per month including everything inc internet which if I was living at home would mean I would save on travel so wouldnt be as bad as it looks.

and in all areas I have lived the up front rent has been no more than a month.(but I havent lived in the bigger cities)



Why is that harsh if hes not living there, not paying rent, not paying bills etc, and even if he lived with his parents that doesnt mean he is entitled to a key.

Otherwise whats the point of moving out if you can go to your parents at anytime?

I do not want to rent and there is no such thing as a bedsit around here lol And in all honestly, I am not making it up, but all rented accom around here to ask for a month and half rent up front. Plus with only £50 a week to live of whilst at uni I still could not afford a place. Even with a job I would be cutting it close even for the cheapest accommodation and job prospects around here are very low at the moment.

My point is rather the fact that it is so difficult to actually buy a home, not to rent. Saving up a 10% deposit takes years and your lucky if anyone will offer you a lower deposit unless you join some kind of shared equity scheme or whatever.

On another note though, nothing aimed at you lol, but it really annoys me when people say "oh yeah I moved out when I was 17" as if they are so great when really they just got a council house and sponged off the tax payer. Get that a lot from people round here. My facebook is full of people like this haha "Yay got my own home" ...I'm so ace, I'm such a success....NO YOUR NOT! I'm not annoyed at people who need a council house, just people who think that it is the same as actually working and buying or renting your own. Just a rant haha

council houses arn't free

I'm at university and live in halls, but in a different continent. Does that count? :/ I think it does, though they're paying for everything, I don't live with my parents anymore, and I can feel it whenever I go back "home."

Well it's up to your parents to push him really... Not neccessarily to move out, but he should pay his way. Sounds like he needs a kick up the backside.

When you say move out, do you see your parents and family ever again?

I was 18 and moved out to go to uni. 6 years on I'm still here I love my family to bits but could never live with them again, i'm too used to my independence.

For various reasons, whether it was bad relationships with family etc or just for the hell of it. (going to uni doesn't count)

I'm 19 and desperately trying to get out of my sisters house as quite frankly, her and her partner are both poisonous and without trying to sound melodramatic, it feels as if they are killing me, all the stress caused and the unjust bitchyness and down right b**I****** that they are. I am always completely miserable and have no other family. So yeah, how old were you and how did you cope?

FYI I'm not working properly, on an apprenticeship atm so don't really earn enough, and I don't want to get stuck in a horrible area. HOWEVER I currently live in the middle of nowhere and would LOVE to be able to get to the town to see my friends, this is however, completely impossible.

Thanks,
