How much do I need to move out

acarmine · 2010-01-02 16:42:29

I hate living at home and want to move out..... I want to live in leeds in a rented accommodation by myself, 1 bedroom apartment/studio rent about 350-400 per month. How much will I need to save, I have a degree but no job and live in derby. I also have a car, should I get rid of it (insurance is 70 per month)

I just think I may be in need of personal space now and again, can you have this flat sharing? or is it considered rude? Is there an etiquette to be aware of.

I think you'd be best house sharing rather than flat sharing. Generally you have your own room/private space and share other rooms such as kitchen/lounge/dining room etc. It depends on the situation so you pick the house share that you think works best for you and have the best of both worlds rather than the slightly solitary and more expensive rent your own place arrangement

Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
