Help moving out!

Hi,

Not sure if there's already a thread for this but I couldn't find one.. if there is please point me in the right direction :)

I'm moving out in March (problems at home, won't bore you with the details) and I was just wondering if there's any help out there financially for your first move? I'm sure there probably isn't but thought I would check to see if there is anything out there!

Thanks!

    When I was young it was called 'saving up'

    Sorry, but I don't get the humour.

    It meant not going out and not spending a penny on anything that wasn't essential.
    Three years later - we were married and had bought a house.
    Sadly, today, youngsters are not willing to do this.

    Correct.

    Can't see why your fist move should be any different from any one else who hashad to scrape together a deposit, beg borrow and steal furniture and scrimp for the first 2 or 3 years
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Go to secondhand shops,freecycle,car boot sales, gumtree, I moved into a council house with a 5 month old babe and a nother age 4 with no money we made doo, had to sleep the babe in a chest of drawers draw for many months..........so did most people , I couldnt go to my mother and father, dad always said once we got married,"youve made your bed now lie in it."....and so we did......no hand outs......if your single with good health you can work to get your house together on your own.........
