Well, I moved out when I was 20, so it has only been a little over a year since I moved out. I pay 525 for rent (2 bedroom/laundry hookups/dishwasher/double sink/ bathroom sink/vanity sink). Then I pay for electric about 80-90 dollars a month. But, the biggest expense other than rent is food. I spend about 200 dollars every 3 or 4 weeks. Moving out isn't all that you think. I would stay at home longer and save up and get a good job to really enjoy yourself when you move out. I went to the wellfare office about three or four months after I moved out to get foodstamps. While it is nice to get free food, by moving out to early its almost like abusing the system. I am now off of foodstamps because "I make to much".
