Is it possible??

[DsMJUNKY54]

Im considering moving out. I want to know how much all bills will cost. I pay 200/mth rent which isnt bad but idk how much the average bill cost is monthly. My gf is moving in with me she works full time at walmart, making roughly 375 every two weeks, and i work part time at applebees(30+ hours a week) making 275 every two weeks. Note that im 17 and cant get a full time job to im 18 do you think we could afford this.


And she is 19 so she is renting the apartment so dnt commet saying i cant becasue im underage.

Well, anything is possible. Being young tho may be your down fall. These days, people want the perspective leasee/renter to have some sort of rental history/credit history. I don't know how it is where you are, but, you could look for some low income apartments, or something similar. But yes, it should be possible

It's possible... but with a COMBINED income of only $1300, you're going to be living pretty tight.

Just gotta dewerk

I wouldn't do it. you're just setting yourself up for failure.

I know but the house im living in now isnt healthy i would rather be living tight than living with a dad that treats me like shit and talks bad to me everyday. They spoil my sister and dont give me anything or help with anything including my car insurence or any bills i do have. I worked 40+ hours when i was 16 just to pay for my college mechanical classes. They have the money they just wont help me. He keeps trying to get me emancipated so he doesnt have to house me.

No you didn't.
You said "I pay 200/mth rent".
Which, to the reader, means that you currently pay $200/month where you currently are.
You made no mention of utilities.

[DsMJUNKY54]

Ohh sorry sorry dont jump on me haha i thought i stated that. No i currently live with my parents so rent is nothing. Im thinking bout moving into a apartment where rent is 200/month. Sorry for not clearing that up for yall who are reading my thread. But it has utilities and rent is only 200/month.

[JoshM]

You should be fine then.
Rent and utilities will only be about 1/6 of your combined income.

[DsMJUNKY54]

Thanks man for taking the time to read my thread and help me out. Im really scared of failure. But i found the apartment with 200/month rent and just thought to myself thats a good deal. They are really nice one bedrooms apartments. They were just built and i will be the first one living in it hopefully.

your good. wow 200 a month. that's super cheap. the cheapest here out of the ghetto are $400 for 1 room..

and yeah what vdub said. you'll realize shit you'll never see about your girl until you actually move in with them.

200 a month dosnt sound right. My rent is $1150 a month. Before you move out you should by as many things for your new place you can. Its not easy moving into your your first place.
