Is there any quick way of doing it, i dont wanna get pregnant and claim of the social for a house... even tho current circumstances

Answer 1

simple answer is renting.

I'm 19, and moved out into a flat with my boyfriend when I was 18.

We both have full time jobs, so being we saved up for the deposit (which is approx a month and a half rent) and the first months rent - which split between 2 of you can be saved in a couple of months.

Just look on ebay for furniture, and try take as much as you can from your bedrooms.

Start stocking up on kitchen supplies now, you can buy first home style packs from argos which are really cheap for the amount you get in them.

And as long as you two stay in full time employment you will be able to afford the rent and bills if you split it all.

If either of you are going to university instead of working though, it may actually work out cheaper to go half on the rent that having you're own room at uni, so use you're uni loan for it. Plus you may get subsidised council tax for being a uni student.

And getting pregnant really isn't the answer, buy the time you've got housing a tad bit cheaper, the baby will cost a lot more each month - so it really doesn't work out too well.

Answer 2

Don't get pregnant to help you get a house.  You'll find the costs of raising a kid are way more than any help you will get and this is just one terrible reason to get pregnant.  

To get a place I'd first off go find out exactly what you need, both in terms of money to get in as well as if your credit and income are good enough.  Then set your goals firmly in mind and do what it takes to get there.  For your circumstances getting there faster may mean increasing your income (ie get another job).  Of course reducing your costs is just as good but not sure how easy that will be in your circumstances.

Answer 3

i feel the same way with my boyfriend i love him to death & i wish time will go a lil faster so, i can live with him already. but, unfortunately it doesn't work like that :/ i say you do what you gotta do & when you think the time is right & you guys are ready financially to afford a house you can move in together. but, make sure you don't go crazy without the money & stuff cause, then life will be hard :/ good luck with whatever you do :)

Answer 4

Get yourselves a decent education and a career, get decent jobs, then you can get a nice place to live.  Why aren't you in college instead of griping about living with your parents?  Get yourself into school and a job before you think about spending money you don't have.  

Answer 5

I don't think so, everything takes time even if you work really hard. The first thing that you would need to do is take jobs and save up some money as backup in case you need money for rent and stuff when you move out. Then when you feel that you have enough, look for an apartment or a room for share in another house. Look around. You don't want to be in a place that you don't like.

This is what I think you should do. Either rent an apartment or a room in a house (this is much cheaper than an apartment) or get together with another couple or person and share an apartment since it has like 2 or 3 rooms right? Then you all can share the rent money and don't have to work as hard for that but remember that you need money for food and bills too.

Good Luck and don't try to rush as much because money will be a problem for people as young as you. Best wishes.
