I'm trying to move out of my parents house and i need help with some questions?
i was wondering what is the average amount of money it cost to live in a apartment a month after you include ALL bills (not just rent) and some of the basic needed supplys (grocerys, toilet tissu, paper towels, ect.) |

generally, if you live by yourself you can get by with about $50 or less in groceries a week if you bargain shop at Aldi's or someplace similar. Depending on where you live the cost of living could vary. Normally in an apartment your average electric bill will run about $60/month; water about $25/month; and gas at about $40-60/month. rent could be anywhere from $200-700. If you rent from an apartment complex your rent is normally a little higher but the utilities are normally cheaper. hope this helps... |

we can't answer that...we don't know where you live and costs of living vary from city to city, state to state...store to store....apt to apt....so you're going to have to research all that on your own... |

All depends where you live.
Rent - $400-$800 ( 1 to 2 bedrooms)
Water and Electric - $100-$200
Food/Supply - $200-$300
Cable/Internet - $100
This is on the low end and I am also considering that you will be moving out on your own without a roommate. These figures are common for the area I live in. I do not live in the city. The landlord will usually pay some of the other bills. |

It depends upon where (what city) you live...prices vary alot.
More info needed.
I live in CA. If you can qualify for subsidized living (help from the state), you can get either low income housing or affordable living housing.
If you are a student, you can get extra help with bills. Utilities, like phone & elec. companies, will put you on a special plan.
If you shopped with coupons, looked for sales, etc. you could probably get by pretty well on $500 - $1000 on top of rent. That is a high amount if you do what I mentioned above.
Getting a roommate cuts it down even more. And CA is very expensive so you can see that it would be at the high end of the scale. |

Before you move out you must sit down and calcuate all the expenses you will incur (rent, gas, electric, gas for you car, internet, cable, cell phone, food, car note & insurance, etc.). This is called budgeting. The only person that can prepare a budget for you is you! You can get an apartment guide or go to their website to get market prices for rent. I wish you the best in moving out and congratulations when you do it! |

Well that depends on the place you get, and then the utilities included in the rent. Search for a good deal, don't just take the first one. Then the phone cable, net and eletric. All together, a single person could pay between $300 to $500 for everything. But it could go as high as $600 to $800 depending on the location you are at. If your in a big city some places run higher than others. In smaller areas it is less expensive and a better value. You should get ready to search the paper and the local pst in window ads. Good Luck |

Until you learn a few things (such as the fact that no one here can answer your questions because it all depends on WHERE you are moving, the size of the apartment, and a host of other issues such as how much food you eat, water you use, etc., etc.), stay with your mom and dad. We don't know what YOUR bills will be, even fixed expenses. Only YOU know these things. Really, did you expect that we could give you exact figures? |

You really would have to do some research based on where you live. It will vary (sometime greatly) depending on where you live. For example I have friends in Cali who pay $600. for a studio. Where as, I paid $475. for a 1bd. rm apt. in TN.
There is a LOT that goes into living on your own. If you can't stay w/ your parents I would suggest looking for a roomate. Getting a 2bd. rm. & splitting costs. |
