What expenses should I prepare to pay for when I graduate college and begin to live on my own without parents?
I will be graduating in May and will be moving out on my own. I'm wondering what types of things I will need to be paying for now that I am not a full time student or living with my parents. For example insurance, rent, bills, etc. Thanks.

If you rent, that will be your primary bill. You'll also want to get renter's insurance, which is pretty cheap (usually 100-200 a year).

If you buy a house you'll have a mortgage, PMI (if you don't have 20% down), Home Owner's Insurance, and taxes.

You also have to have car insurance, which depending on what type of car you have, how old you are, and what your driving record is like, can either be cheap or ridiculously expensive. If you don't own your car yet then you'll either have to lease or have a car payment.

Also count on utilities being expensive these days (depending on your location of course). These include electric, water, sewer, heat, cable, phone/cell phones, and internet.

Food budgets can vary depending where and how much you eat. Try to make your own instead of eating out all the time, it's a lot cheaper.

Finally, you'll want some sort of health insurance. You can either get this through your employer or independently. Either way, it's usually expensive.

My advice: find a roommate and rent. Live modestly and save your money until you can afford a house.

Ugh... Being a grown up sucks! haha.. but I graduated last year and the things I have to pay for are rent, bills (gas, electric, water, sewer, cable, Internet, phone, trash, and credit card) car payment & insurance, & groceries. You'll also want to set aside money for clothes, & having fun!! I think that's about it!

Congrats on graduating! && best of luck to you!

Ha! Rent or mortgage payments, if you buy a house, you'll need a down payment (usually in the 10% range), fire insurance, trash , water & sewer payments, property taxes, plus if you own, you'll have to pay to fix everything that breaks. If you want a car, you'll have that monthly payment, plus insurance and registration and plenty of cash for fuel. If you decide to rent in the city, be prepared to pay for a parking space. Then there's electricity, phone, heat, food, clothing, cable / internet and laundry to wash. That's why so many kids decide that living at home isn't all that bad after all. I almost forgot - health insurance. You'd better get a job with an employer who has a low cost health plan or you're doomed.


grapelady911
the cost of everything depends on where you live in the country and what type of accomodations you choose, high, medium or low end.

rent / house payment
income/property tax
utilities (water, sewer, trash, heat, electric...)
cable/satelite
internet
groceries
health insurance
renters/home owners insurance
car payment
car insurance
any student loans you might have


good luck and congrats on your graduation!

I think you'll be good if you bring in $2k a month.

mostly you'll need deposits to get an apartment and turn on utilities, and buy whatever household items you'll need. you'll need to make sure your vehicle insurance is in your name with your address. some places require renter's insurance, others don't.

pay back any student loans, rent, gas & electric, water, phone/cell phone, cable, car insurance, gas, food, spending money... If there isn't a washer and dryer, you will need quarters to do your laundry at the laundry mat.

Well put it this way ---

It will cost you about £700 per month to live in your own place in the UK

Im not sure how much rent is anywhere else but i would imagine that it's similar - Rates and Utilities vary from place to place too.

Holy crap.....good luck. What you need to be asking is how can you get help!!!

Seriously....here you go-
DO NOT SKIP ON THE BIRTH CONTROL

rent
car
insurance
health ins (most plans will not cover you after you move out)
food
clothing/toiletries - this adds up
entertainment - adds up and don't think you'll be so happy in your own place that you'll stay home b/c you won't and for goodness sake - NO CREDIT CARDS
gas for car
gas bill
electric
water
maitenence (on anything) This can screw you.
prescriptions you may need
cable
phone
cell phone

Basically, there are no pat answers as life is changing every 7-11 seconds.

Good luck in graduating and beginning your life

Rent, you also need a deposit.
Utilities...unless they are included with the rent. Gas, Lights, cable, phone.
Food
Insurance......get Renters Insurance!
Do you have furniture, dishes, towels, all of the little creature comforts? Small appliances?
When I was getting ready to move out, my mom and dad started getting me stuff like that for my birthday and Christmas. It really saved a lot of money and stress, and it helped me out a bunch.

I just graduated last may. The only expense that I was not expecting was the closing costs on buying a house. I had 25k and wanted to buy a house. I decided to put down 20k on the house and live on the other 5k in case it took me a while to get a job. Well, I did pay only 20k down on the house, but all the FEES associated with it - inspection, warranty, closing costs - I ended up spending about 24k on everything.

Another thing - if you're moving out of state, you will need to pay money for transferring your title, getting vehicle registration, plates, and new drivers license. For me and my wife, the total was about $400 in Texas. Each state has its own charges. We even had to pay a new resident tax of like, 90 bucks each.

Too many to list. I would definately set up an emergency fund. You're gonna need it.
