So many of my friends thought that they had enough money and whatnot to be out on their own, only to move back home after about a year or less.
It may not be ideal for you or for your parents but unless they are at the point of kicking you out, you should try to hack staying home.

If you absolutely have to move out and don't mind living with other students/roomies. I would check out local community programs that offer really cheap rooms and efficientcies to students. Some of these places offer room and board for as long as you are attending school. Most of these places are "all bills paid" so that should help a lot.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I read your response the other day, but I didn't have enough time to formulate my thoughts and think about what I was going to say. I've actually thought about that a bunch of times, and I realize that staying at home benefits me a lot because everything's already there, and I won't have to work my ass off. However, I would eventually like to move out anyways. I want to have responsibilities, I want to make mistakes, etc. From doing all of that, I will learn to be a more responsible young-adult. I don't get along with either of my parents, we argue almost every day and it's driving me insane. It gets really bad when all of my friends tells me that I need to find another place to live just so I can get the stress off of my back. I feel as if my life's being hindered because of my own parents at times, though I understand that they do care about my education and well being.

I love them to death, I respect them both up to a point, but I cannot get along with them. I hope this makes sense. I will probably visit the house every once in a while to see my little brother though. I told my brother years ago that I'd move out eventually, and I did mean it. I just don't want to make a hasty decision and regret it because as of now, I realize that it's impossible. Even if it were to be slightly possible and having to deal with a retail job, I would surely be miserable and in loans / debts. Which is why I will gladly wait until I get my education done and have some backed-up money to save my carcass while the money starts accumulating in the bank.

I'm not too worried about that, and like I said, I can afford used clothes. I have a lot of clothing in my closet right now, I think only 20-30% = my brother's, since we share the same closet. But I have enough clothing to last me for a while. I'll probably wear the same shirt for every two days or so too, just to conserve laundry costs. I actually thought about this over and over.

The hard part is getting INTO that circle. Either you have to start working first, or start surviving until you get the money from work first.

Idealistically, I think you should start saving up from now, and allow enough money to survive on for a good quarter at least while you look for work to maintain that lifestyle.

I completely agree with you, getting into that mindset is going to be hard for me, since how I'm used to spending my money as I'm currently living with my parents as of now is entirely different than how I will be spending money when I move out. I have to change how I think a lot when it comes to affording the necessities.
