Help! How to save + move out?

PasturesNew

You could try to get a 2nd and 3rd job. When I was your age I had three.
1] Full time (40 hours) in an office
2] Weekday evenings telesales for double glazing
3] Weekends on the forecourt of a petrol station

That way you're not in much - AND - you can save more and be able to spend less. Every hour you're at work is an hour you can't be spending money

Stay as long with your parents as you can, and keep on excellent terms even if you would prefer to live on your own, otherwise it will be difficult from both sides.

As mentioned work at increasing your income, because obviously the faster you can save, the faster you can move out. Are you in a graduate position or something unrelated? If unrelated, try hard at getting a foot in the door at your type of work, or some other skilled role with a career path.

Cut your regular expenses to as close to zero as possible. If your income increases make sure you do end up saving more and not just spending more and saving the same!
