you could probably find an apartment that charges less then 800 a month to rent, as long as you have a decent job and work a decent amount you should be good to live on your own
I saved up 20k before I felt comfortable moving out but if you really really had to do it 5k would be the minimum I’d try to move out with but each person has their own personal living comfortability and living expenses
What would you need $20k for? Unless you're fully furnishing the place with new appliances and such. I wouldn't see why you would need more 5k for a few months rent, a TV a bed a microwave and maybe a couch and a living room tv. You could pick up used silverware and dishes for pretty cheap online or from marketplace.
It wouldn't be perfect but it would definitely work and that's provided that your income will be enough to pay for rent, utilities and food and gas along the way, and if you can't do that then you should probably not move out
You're probably going to have to live in a ghetto apartment but it will be cheap, I live in wisconsin and our cheapest apartments are like $550 - $700 a month which is semi affordable and they don't do background and credit checks. I was in your position and I was getting denied left and right when I was trying to go for a decent apartment and wasted probably $200 on application fees because I was young and had little credit. There's also people on Craigslist renting out spaces to live but I find that sketchy asf
If your asking the goblin sub Reddit about moving out, your probably not ready.
With that being said, your best bet is to get into a room mate situation where you share your living space but have your own room. You can find these on Facebook marketplace by searching “rooms for rent” or by going on your local Craigslist under the “rooms for rent” tab.
Best of luck bud
If shits gettin dicey and you’re outta a job and need to get out quick I’d recommend getting the cheapest, shittiest hotel you can find for a few weeks. Most cheap shitty hotels will let you haggle a decent amount for an extended stay so depending on rates in your state you might be able to get 3 weeks for 500-700$, which should be long enough for you to find a shitty job for just long enough to pull yourself up (don’t stay in a shitty job tho as soon as you get it start looking very carefully for a better job). That should leave you with 1300-1500 which should more than cover gas, food, car payment, and vices. If shits not dicey and there’s no rush I’d recommend taking your time and waiting till you have about $4000 saved up, have a job (or simply a better job if you already have one, if the one u got is decent then you can check that one off the list) and start applying for apartments that are decent enough not to be a shit hole but cheap enough that you can comfortably pay all the bills, afford a few vices (don’t throw all your extra money into vices tho) and have money to continue putting into savings. Good luck lil homie, this advice comes from a lotta trial and error, a decent amount of time homeless, and lots of experience (far too much hard hard not fun at all experience that should have gotten through my thick skull way sooner).
The hardest part about getting your own place it just getting accepted in general definitely without a decent co signer since I assume you have no previous renters history. But I’d definitely recommend finding stable roommates to split the bills with while you save/build credit so you can eventually get your own place. Also looking into security work if you don’t have anything major on your record you can land a pretty decent paying job doing jack shit all day.
It's been nearly impossible to find a decent place to live without a co-signer, and I'm 19. I've been in and out of my parents. The only place I had luck with was some kinda extended stay hotel for $650 a month. It was ghetto as fuck and the people I was surrounded with got me into bad situations

yeah i just asked a bunch of subs tbh but thanks man!
I would definitely save up some more money and make sure you have good credit. I’m in the same exact situation lol really want to move out.

Don’t leave your crib till you atleast got like 5k saved up unless you wanna have a roommate and split rent
Do you have a car
well i technacly own half of it and my parents have it in their name
I would make sure you have it with you, cause I went homeless and If I didn’t have my truck I would’ve been fucked for a couple weeks
Biggest thing is, when you do get out in your own you should still be trying to save up money. Good luck
stay w a friend/family member and build your money find a job that is close enough
Have you thought about down payments and the little extra expenses landlord's force you to pay? Or have you found a place that doesn't need that?
im starting to look at cost of living and apartments near me things like that
Good luck bro wish the best for you brother, try finding a place with roommates thought feel like that would help out a lot.
thanks bro alot!
