How much money should I save to move

How much money should I save to move out?
I am a single guy aged 27 with no children and living in my parents.
I am unemployed and I was paying my parents rent up until I got fired from my job recently as they don't work and get benefits.
I worked a low level office job and I don't have a degree.
I want to move out and my living expenses arn't high as I rarely go out anywhere other than to a gym.
My weekly living costs are around £40, I have considered moving into a flat share and I am getting JSA.
I want to move to England, I don't know how much I should save for around 3 months until I get a job.
How much should I expect to save for 3 month in a large city like London or a smaller city like Liverpool?

If you don't have a job, how are you going to save money? Worry about getting work before you move out of your parents.0

how much is your gym fees costing you?
You can search right move yourself for flats to rent in London and Liverpool and you will see it is expensive especially in London.
Flat share you can try spare room or just google.
But you need work first before you rent a place"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"

I thought I could save up whatever I need and then move there and live off my savings until I find a job. How much would I need to save for a flat or flatshare?0

How long is a piece of string? Depends on the area you want to live in, and that will likely depend at least a bit on where you can find work.
Again, how are you going to save money without a job?0 -
Are you using your JSA to save up? If so, how are you affording to eat etc?I thought I could save up whatever I need and then move there and live off my savings until I find a job. How much would I need to save for a flat or flatshare?
If you're planning to move anyway then why not register with a few agencies and try and get a few months temporary work over summer. I think you really need to concentrate on finding a job before you even contemplate moving.0
