Im leaving the 1st week of December and I will have alil over $800: that includes gas, hotels (3 hotels til I get to Phoenix) & alil emergency $$ on the side. I have already found an weekly rental apartment there and I have also mapped out my routes during my extended road trip. I am excited and scared all at the same time. I guess it doesnt matter how old you get, there will always be alil anxiety. I am 26yrs old & Im bout to move from Wilmington, DE to Phoenix, AZ & I am alittle scared.

In your moving cost you have to incorporate a cost of move itself, which you can easily calculate by getting <a href="http://www.realmoving.com/MovingCompanies.aspx" rel="nofollow">Free moving quotes from moving companies</a>.

I never paid utilities , but now I have to budget it in. I've had second thoughts, after second thoughts, after second thoughts....and still have them. However, I've come to learn that it's natural, and sooner or later they will disappear or not be as loud.

Can you boost your income with a second job? Or maybe you can find a situation where you do some work for the landlord/landlady, in return for a break in rent. Or find a room with an elderly person who needs help with shopping and housekeeping. For someone older than 18, apartment sitting could also be a temporary option, but probably not for an 18-year old. Also, check out if your income level entitles you to some rent help from social services. Good luck. That is a tough one. Can you boost your income with a second job?

There is no way the rent will be divided by 40 of the salary and still work because no place here is under $425 and even that needs $17,000 salary. What do you do then? That's only divided by 18 instead of 40. Any help or tips? Oh yeah, also I have my own furniture for my bedroom and office that I can keep with me.

Put that to a test while still living at home. Use the system of envelopes suggested by the Anonymous above and pretend you have all the expenses you would have if you lived in your own apartment. If after two to three months it looks like you will be able to cover all the costs and still have a few dollars left over for fun, you are ready to start looking for a place. The money saved in those envelopes will cover your security deposit, first month's rent and moving costs. Good luck! Hi Princess Scooby,
