Does Anyone Have Thier Own Place! Posted: 02-06-04 17:34pm
Hello everyone im thinking about leaving
active duty and going down to the
reserves(one weekend a month). I dont
want to go back home and live with my
parents. I would like to get an apartment
and find a job and go to school. Im so
tired of being active duty. I miss
civilian life. Im just afraid I will get
out and cant afford to make ends meet. I
was curious if any of you had their own
place.

Hey Posted: 02-07-04 14:44pm
I've been living with my boyfriend for 2
years now, but only during the school
year. We go to a school that is about 3
hours from where we live. So we moved up
here together, and although our parents
pay for our rent (only because it would
cost the same as room and board at the
college) money is tight. We still have to
pay for our phone, groceries, cable,
internet, gas to drive back and forth to
school, and anything else we need. I have
a job, but my boyfriend doesn't. His
mother gives him money, because he plays
soccer for the school and doesnt have time
to have a job. My point is that, even
though our parents give us money to pay
for rent, we have to be very careful with
what we buy, its tough let me tell you.
It's nice to have our own place, but
unless we were both working full time, we
would never be able to afford our own
place. I mean right now, we live in a
small town in central new york and our
rent is only $500 a month, and thats
pretty expensive around here. We wouldn't
be able to afford this place without our
parents help, so I strongly suggest
finding a roommate to help pay for the
expenses, it would make it ten times
easier on yourself. You could ask a
friend or even put an ad in the paper, and
you can choose the person to live with
you. I wish you the best of luck!!

Hey Posted: 02-08-04 12:27pm
Congratulations to those of you who have
been on their own, and made it, that's a
great accomplishment. But, honestly when
i'm finished with school, i'm moving back
in with my parents until I get married.
Because, when you live on your own at such
a young age, you are forced to become more
responsible, and you in a sense miss out
on being young. And trust me, you don't
have to lecture me on being responsible or
being immature, I was forced to grow up
way before I should have. My father was
an alcoholic and my parents split up, but
I am happy to say they are back together
now, and my father has been sober for 12
years now. I was raped when I was 15
years old, by my older boyfriend. I lost
quite a few years in all that mess. I
want a chance to completely enjoy myself.
This is my last semester in a 2 year
college, i'm going home to live with
parents after I graduate, I am going on to
a 4 year school, and I am going to live it
up while I can. I have plenty of time to
move out again, on my own, and start a
family. I don't want to rush into it. I
want to get a good education a good job,
and become successful. And when I live
with my parents I can save money, and
still enjoy my time with them. My
relationship with them hasn't always been
great, and now that it is, I want to spend
as much time with them as I can. I work
hard, I have 3 jobs ( not when i'm in
school, when i'm home) I have a brand new
car, a 2003 honda civic coupe, and I pay
for my tuition. I hate it when i'm living
up here on my own, and money is tight. I
hate being able to just get by, I like to
know that I have more money than I need.
It stresses me out, and I can't deal with
all that stress, I have other things that
I should be worrying about. I mean it
feels like I spend more time at work, than
I do at college, and thats not right. I
came up here to college to get a good
education, not to work.
Like I said, to those of you living on
your own, more power to ya, and you should
be proud of yourself, I am proud of you,
cuz I know what it's like!!
