this depends on if you are on a full time or a part time wage, the construction income should help,
To live on your own you need to take in lots of factors, like council tax, TV License, Furniture and loads more, if you fall behind you could find yourself in a bit of trouble. I would suggest lodgings, one payment pays the lot, i would estimate that to live on your own it would cost roughly £750-£1000 per month, this includes rent, food, and transport to and from your respective jobs, and also bills.
Also you have to remember about unexpected payments, like a boiler breakdown, maintence.
At 16 I personally dont think you should move out though, it is much harder than it looks, and like I said, if you fall behind you could end up going down the road of CCJ's and even bankruptsy, try looking for a more better paid job first.
Good luck anyways! |

If you have a 10 month old baby, and you are 16 now, then your 26 year old boyfriend (saw your other posts) is already in trouble since you were under 16 when he took advantage of you. You are a child, understand?
Find some help fast. Making babies and working at McDonalds is only going to continue a cycle of despair, poverty and ignorance.
Do yourself and your child a favor.
Find some professional help (Church/Counselor/State Agency) before your child has a brother and a sister to play with.
I wish you good luck |

Stay at home as long as you can.
You're way too young to be hitching up with someone, I don't care how mature you think you are. |

No, finish school and then go to college before you make that decision or you will be stuck in a rut with the only words that you know..... Do you want fries with that? |

Construction jobs don't provide sick pay. They must have money to fall back on or they might be knocking on your door. |

You should wait and fiish education unless things are real bad at home, if you do move in together finish school anyways. Your parents could get the law involved if they wanted but not once you turn 17. Cant kick em out till their 18 cant stop them from leaving at 17, if you leave now you could face charges for runaway and he for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. I guess you know your parents best do you want to chance it? Or would they understand? |

an income from mcdonalds cannot support anyone but a 16 year old who stays with her parents and buys lipgloss and hannah montanna cd's. I suppose a construction workers income may be able to support someone but hardly more than two people. Regardless, a 16 year old is a child and cannot "get her own place". |

a construction worker and a mac worker? i don't think you can even rent a decent place. don't forget water, electric, gas, heat, internet, cables and food on the table.
suckup to your parents is still a better choice. |

I think you have to be legally 18 to be on your own, regardless of the other details..Don't forget the security deposit and the last month's rent and first month's. |

I am just simply going to say - please don't do it. It would change your life forever in soooo many ways.
ADD1 - Now that we know you have a baby you will most certainly have financial problems. What would you do with your baby while go to school and work? Does your mom help you a lot with the baby while you go to school and work? I really don't think that moving out will be very beneficial to you. |

Unless you have an abusive situation at home I would not recommend leaving home before you have at least completed High School. If you have an abuse problem I would recommend contacting the police after an incident if you can prove the abuse. Good luck. I left home at 18 after much abuse myself. |

I don't want to seem rude, but honestly at 16 years old I don't think making the decision to live on your own with your boyfriend is something you are able to make. You have to realize that if you move out on your own, you will probably have a hard life the rest of your life. Finances are important and in order to have a good life you need to finish high school and most likely go to college and get a degree. I know now you are young and thinking you love your boyfriend, but girl trust me, at 16 I thought I loved some people too that looking back were NOT the ones for me. My advice to you would be to stay with your parents, finish school, and have dreams and goals for yourself greater then working at Mcdonalds for the rest of your life and struggling living paycheck to paycheck. Think about yourself and the life you WANT to have, I know its not living in a trailer or on welfare with a low-life boyfriend all because at 16 years old you felt you knew what you were doing with your life. You have so much life ahead of you and you have so much to see and experience, please don't ruin your life. I wish you the best of luck. |
