How to get my own place by neonhearts

"Scary but liberating!"

How I did it: I decided that it was time that I found my own place as I'd always lived with people in the past (boyfriends, friends, family etc) and wanted to experience living alone.

I started by saving as much money as I could to cover moving costs and furniture/connecting services like electricity etc.

I then started looking for rental places and finally found one that suited me, so I applied for it and organised to move in.

Lessons & tips: The tips above are important. Save as much money as you can to cover costs. Save MORE than you think you'll need (there are always hidden costs!).

Look around for the right place, one close to everything you need/work and that you can afford to live in comfortably.
