Moving Out Anonymous 10/08/15 (Thu) 14:11:12 a63f77 No.742

I know this sounds dumb but honestly I lived a very secluded life during my adolescent years and now I don't know how to live like an adult. My parents want me to move out, I want to move out, problem is I have no clue how. I don't know how to talk on the phone with landlords, I don't know what I should be doing, etc. Even worse is I'm planning on moving to a different state (next state over, not too far), and I don't even know how I should integrate into another state. I try googling this shit and it all goes over my head. Time is running out, I want to move before the snow falls here and I'm really cutting it close now since it's autumn already. My parents won't help me with this and they bitch at me every weekend that I tell them "no, haven't called any apartments yet…". I have a job and I have money saved up.

Essentially, I need advice on how to move out and be independent. I need a guide on everything there is to living on your own. Please help.

First thing first you should learn the basics

1) How to cook

2) How to clean

3) How to wash, dry and iron clothing

4) How to manage finances

5) How to manage grocery shopping

You will also be responsible for getting yourself out of bed, abiding by property rules (no pets, no noise after x) and usually setting up utilities and internet services (unless otherwise included).

Do you think you can do that? It's a lot of work.

I can manage all of those things except setting up utilities. Never done it before and don't know how it works.

To be honest you will most likely find landlords who already deal with this. But it's a good thing to learn about and familiarise yourself with the local businesses just in case.

Budgeting is probably your biggest hurdle, if you plan to live on your own you really need to be smart with your money.
