18 and Moving Out. Help?
I am 18, making more than enough money than I should at 18.
I am wanting to move out, which I ambut can not decide on a hard choice. Me and my older brother agreed on moving into a place, together. All the bills would have to go in my name except on the lease it would be both. The problem is he has a girlfriend I have a boyfriend. His GF has a child. I do not want to see his Gf too much, and I am not too fond of females especially in my home? But I would like my BF to be there whenever I feel. OK. So I have a lot of "what if's" for example what if his GF is there way more than my liking or what if he does something shady? I can do it myself with no problem, but it is my first time, but now I am thinking about doing it myself after pondering for a while How should I tell him or what do you think?

If I were you I'd just get a smaller place of your own. Then YOU can decide who comes over when. You are fortunately smart enough to have already foreseen what some of the problems might be if you & your bro share a place. I don't care for living with females much either but you can't tell your bro he can't have his GF just as often as your BF.... and what if she somehow gets into a prob w/ her other housing and says "Honey can we stay with you a week or so?" and she comes over with her kid and moves in....and stays...and stays.... THEN you're looking at a major battle with your brother to get her out.

Plus if you are worried about your brother getting into something shady then you KNOW you got SOME reason for that worry. Why put yourself in the position? This just sounds like trouble waiting to happen.

Tell your brother you really feel like you want to have your own place where you can chill & be private with your BF, kick back after work, etc. And just be honest and tell him you don't like having other females around in your house much (most men think we're catty anyway so it'll be no shock to hear you say that) but then say sweetly that you know it wouldn't be fair to tell him he can't have his GF over, & you want to keep yr relationship as brother/sister good, so at this point sharing an apt. is not the best plan.
Good luck!

It sounds to me from reading this that you've already realized it probably isn't a good idea for you and your older brother to move into a place together. You should let him know that you've had second thoughts about it, and proceed to get your own place. He'll probably appreciate not having your BF around as much as you appreciate not having his GF around.

If you decide to get a place together still, make sure you both have clear expectations and understanding about having significant others come to visit and/or stay. Agreeing on the rules in advance makes it a lot easier to deal with things like that.

Good luck.

go it alone if you can afford it it's so worth it, you can do it up as you like, no arguing over bills, furniture, girlfriends, boyfriends etc, you can do what you want when you want it's not worth the hassle of sharing if you don't have to xx

tell your brother the truth. Your 18 and can decide whether living with him is a good idea or not. Since, he has a girlfriend with a child maybe living with him is not a good idea, because she might move in and that would make you very angry. Since, your boyfriend would be there whenever you feel try getting your own place because it won't be fair if your brother GF cannot come over whenver he feels and your BF can. You should sit your brother done and tell him the truth if he gets mad, oh well.

Your plan for "group living" is a disaster waiting to happen. Rethink it.

Tell him that you are 18 and want to live by yourself for a year. After that year you are not satisfied and you miss him or whatever, work something out then. The first time you live on your own you should be by yourself anyway.

Sounds like you already know the answer. I think you should probably try it on your own. Bills can add up quickly, and a housemate helps a lot but you you have to remember if they are paying the same as you, they have a right to have their GF/BF, and friends over, just like you. Maybe he doesn't like your BF there all the time either. It works both ways. Even good friends can become a real pain in the butt to live with. You don't really know someone until you have lived with them.

Lady. You are going to be USED.......big time.....X


GOOD LUCK........You are going to need it.!

Either move out on your own, or go with your brother and when you're sick of it in a month or two then get your own. (And ignore that horrible first comment, I gave it a thumb down for ya) Chances are your brother would expect to have his girlfriend over more frequently than he does now.


Night Owl
In my experience there's nothing worse than being unhappy with your living situation. Don' t go through with it if you think/know you're going to be frustrated with your roomate/his girlfriend, even if he is your brother.

you shouldnt move in with him. you are just headed for trouble. Move in by yourself so you have have your BF there whenever you want, and not have others there.

Its sounds like you'd be happier getting an apartment on your own. You might want to rent a room or a basement, instead...for your first venture...follow your intuition. Remember its all a learning experience.

Is your brother trustworthy? Do you see yourself holding all the cards. From what I see It looks like you might be setting yourself up for failure. But that's your decision.

I'm sure you have listed out the benefits for living together, but it probably wouldn't hurt to write them out as part of the agreement you working out. Listing all of the benefits and putting them together will make it more tangible; loss of benefits will also be a consequence if rules are broken.

My suggestion is set boundaries/rules before you move out!
Granted there will be some give and take, but both you and your brother need to realize and abide by these boundaries if you and your brother want to make it work. Lay down the consequences if rules are broken. Once you agree, make sure it's in writing, so if there are any disputes, the rules are already documented.

The other alternative is to find a friend/roommate with the same likes and dislikes.

Establish an alternative plan if rules are broken; like move back home or something like that.

Good luck

OK, first off a roommate of any type would be a good thing to help you with the rent...

Second, DO NOT, for the love of christ, move in with your boyfriend!

Until he puts an engagement ring on your finger, he is not nailed down... Putting him on the lease would only result in bad credit should one of you want to break up. (And for the love of little apples make sure your on some goddamned birth control... Your only 18 and you DO NOT need to breed!)

YOU ARE FAR TOO YOUNG TO PUT ANYONE BUT FAMILY ON YOUR LEASE!

If you want the freedom to have your BF over whenever you want then you need to accept that your brother or whomever you choose as a roomate needs to have the same freedom... Unless they are not paying rent...

A 50/50 agreement means that you both have the same rights.

If you don't want to spend time with your brother's GF and her child then get another roommate...

Just make sure you pay the $20.00 to go online and run a credit check/background check on them through a site like http://www.zabbasearch.com

If s/he breaks the lease it will be YOUR credit that gets jacked up too... So be careful...

You need to think about these things like your credit is already in ruins... Because if your not careful then it will end up in ruins!!!!!

It is better to be paranoid with good credit then young and carefree but unable to get another apartment or a car loan!


Michael the Psycho
Errr... Isn't that kind of unfair? You get to have your boyfriend but he doesn't get his girlfriend around? I don't know... Unless you're paying 100%, your brother gets some privileges too. If it's too small to accommodate three or four people then you're not making enough :P I live in a one-bedroom apartment and it's good for four people. If you get a two-bedroom you're pretty much good to go.
