How can I move out successfully?

Question

When my boyfriend turns 18, Im older, we want to move in together. How can i do this while attending college? It cost tons of money to pay rent and i doubt Ill make good enough money as a high school grad to keep the place we share. Another problem is that we live in NYC so you can imagine the costs. I dont want to wait because of issues were going through so how can i possibly do this? It seems utterly impossible.

Answer 1

It may be impossible now. When ou get evicted its hard to rent again so be careful

Answer 2

This is one of those situations that makes me wonder about the subtext you're not sharing.

There's no *need* for an 18-year-old guy and his older girlfriend to live together the moment he's old enough to move out. Sure, it'd be fun living together (maybe), but the financial burden, especially in New York, is going to mess with your education. Your financial future rides on that education, so it's not something you can detract from with too many hours of work, or too many hours of distracting boyfriend, either.

I strongly suggest you work through your issues while living cheaply and apart, you in a dorm and he wherever he is now, unless the situation is abusive.

Answer 3

You and your boyfriend will just have to get employment to pay for an apartment  .....

IF possible; move to a less expensive state , like Pennsylvania or Ohio .....

You can always transfer your college credits ....

Answer 4

First, do not sacrifice your education.  Do whatever you need to do to stay in school.

Second, your boyfriend can work a full-time job and you might be able to work a part-time job, if it doesn't hurt your school work.

Third, if you will both be attending college, you could both get student loans and both attend the same college full-time.  You could live on campus or off campus.

Before you do anything, make sure you find out how much you will need to pay all the bills and save a bit for emergencies.

Answer 5

find a part time job and get your bf to do the same. you'll have to work very very hard in school and at work to keep it up though.

good luck
