But im planning on moving in Feb2009. My check at the most just be 280 for every two week! i dnt know wut to do!! Im tips?

Answer 1

You might want to reconsider moving out in Feb.  Your pay is barely enough to even cover the bills you already have, let along rent and all the other expenses that come with being out on your own.

Answer 2

If you are an adult who is working and spending money on your own car and credit cards for personal stuff you should also be having a bill of rent and food or room and board.  Don't wait until February to grow up...grow up now.  

You need more money...get a second job or find a new full time job.

Answer 3

If your in college, stay at home if you can. don't listen to the people who say to "grow up and move out" educating yourself is a very grown up thing to do, and affording both tuition and rent is very difficult unless you have a good paying full time job. the people who do that on minimum wage jobs usually have to give up their car and live on Raman noodles, and occasionally end up dropping out because they can't pay the tuition. I'd recommend getting a 2nd job to pay the bills. chances are you can't get a loan without a cosigner since your only 19, and that's not the best answer to financial problems.
