    I still live with my parents. My mom and dad live here plus my siblings. Its 8 kids in all my oldest sister is 23 and the youngest is 2. and My grandmothers stays here shes 85. I have been debating about moving out for 2 months but, I think i really want to now. I live in a 3 bedroom house with 11 other people. Its small but its been like this since I was little. I sleep on a couch every night. I have a job making $16 an hour but, Im scared to move out because I might fail and I dont want to fail. As im getting older im noticing that I dont want to sleep on a couch any more I want my own room for once in my life. There are a few apartments in my area for rent for aorund $1000 with everything included ( rent,cable,internet,sewage,water) and I want to apply but something is holding me back. Ive talked to my parents about moving and they think I might not do so good because Im going too fast. Another thing about moving is I dont have any furniture..I never have had my own bed, I dont have a tv, If i move the only thing i will have is my clothes.I have been buying little things here and there to start me off for my apartment but I dont know ? I have a car that I pay which is only $118 a month, and my car insurance is $100 a month

    It sounds like your work situation is pretty stable - forgive me if you have covered this in other posts, but have you been there for awhile and is it full-time, permanent work? I think it sounds like you could handle this and the all utilities paid thing seems pretty legit to me. I live in an area with unusually low cost of living and that would still be a pretty good price even here where rent is generally quite low.

    I think if you have confidence in your job being a sure thing, and you've been there at least a few months, it sounds like you should go for it. You can't fail if you don't try but you also can't succeed if you don't try, right?!

    Maybe you could check on Craigslist or other give-and-take sites, FreeCycle, or something like that to get either a bed, futon, or sofa that you could sleep on as you're starting out. I don't know what stores you have available to you but I know in my area, Big Lots discount store is a pretty cheap place to get new mattresses & other furniture. A lot of college students I know who are just starting out like to get stuff there because it's as cheap as used, sometimes. I wish you the best!

    I’ve been there a year and 7 months! My job has been stable for me for almost two years
