  1. How To Afford Living On Your Own? If you are looking to move out of your current situation and into an apartment on your own, then you should start planning early. If you properly handle your finances, you will find that living on your own will be relatively stress-free and affordable. Here are some potential tips to consider when preparing to live alone.

  2. Before looking for an apartment or a house, establish a budget so that you know how much you can spend per month. You should financially budget for the following expenses: ● Rent ● Utilities ● Car payment ● Insurance ● Gas/Car maintenance ● Recreation Once you have created your budget, you may want to share it with a friend or parent to see if they believe it is reasonable and contains all of your potential bills. Establish a Budget

  3. Before moving out, try to pay off as much debt as possible. If you have a balance on an outstanding credit card, try to eliminate or pay it down while your financial obligations are still low. Since living on your own may be more expensive than living with others, you will want to pay off as much as possible. Pay off Debt

  4. When looking for an apartment or house, look for something comfortable, yet financially reasonable. Although you may have found a place that offers nice amenities, can you really afford it throughout the duration of your lease? You should look through various surrounding communities to find something safe, comfortable and affordable. Don't Overextend Yourself

  5. Before you move into your apartment, make sure you save a cushion of money just in case something unexpectedly arises. For example, you may have a nice job that provides a decent salary with benefits. However, what happens if you are laid off or fired? If you do not have a saving account to rely on, you may be evicted from your apartment. Save For a Rainy Day

  6. You may want to change certain aspects of your life when moving on your own. For example, if you constantly go out to eat, consider making your lunch at home and bringing it to work. If you go to happy hour four times a week, you may want to cut back to only two nights a week. Consider Making Lifestyle Changes

  7. If you go with the budget accordingly and spend your money prudently, you will find that living on your own is financially possible. Find ways to cut down on your costs, save some money, and plan early to ensure that living on your own will not be a financial burden.
