get my own apartment

I will probably lose my home by this time next month, and go into a youth shelter. So my goal, which everything I do now is to build up to, is to get my own apartment. This time, as I will be 18 next month, I want it to be in my name. I don’t know what shelter I’m going to go to, but there are two possibilities I know of, one here in Baton Rouge and one in New Orleans.

Now I just have to conjure up 300 bucks and sign the lease on Tuesday.

i put down the downpayment, now i just need to get my mom on as co-signer. i pray they give it to me.

to show that i too can have responsibility

i need to get out of my parents house and live on my own

My house has an uneasy feel to it, just not a happy place to be, so me and the boyfriend are saving up to get our own apt more than likely in uptown.

this goal was almost accomplished. found the perfect first apartment, but the day before i found out i got the place i got laid off. i guess the bright side is that i didn’t sign the lease, move in and then get laid off. they have quite a few apts available so hopefully i can find a job soon and try to still get the place.

I found a place I like and am researching my finances to see if I can afford to live for $635 a month. (is that too much? prepaid electric, water, trash, and sewage, plus furnished with kitchen appliances like dishwasher, fridge and microwave AND it’s right in town near to my singing teacher, not far from work, and not far from mom and dad either)

Anyway, point, not two days ago my dad said to me “I’m so glad you’re not one of those kids whose in a hurry to move out. i can’t imagine what it would be around here without you.” I felt so bad I cried!

Mind you I am 23. I want to gain my independence. It’s not that I don’t like living at home.

But I have only been making a little more than 400 every two weeks from work lately, and these next two weeks I’m only on for three days cause nothings going on.

I’m not sure what to do. I think I’m stressing myself out.

I have made no forward motion except for buying a pan… lol. I will get there.

I am excited about the plans i have made as for as moving to atlanta but the reality is that i have never really lived on my outside ecspecially so far from my family and i am scared, nervous, worried, everything i want to be prepared for every situation but still you never know..i dont want to have money issues or any other issue and be forced to come back to ny to live with mom. i want to prove that i am independent and that i can make it on my own
