I want to move into my own apartment how much would I have to save up?

Question

I make 300 dollars every two weeks at work.

When i go to college I want to move into my own apartment how much would I have to save up???

How much is the security deposit?

Answer 1

Depending on the college, it is usually about $350-$600 a month.  Plus utilities.  Security deposit is first and last months, sometimes three months rent.  My suggestion, live in the dorms, it is pain free living and you can meet people, which is important.  Your meals are made for you, your bathrooms are cleaned by other people, and you can party at the houses as you meet people.  Stay away from the apartment until you can get 2 or 3 roommates to help with bills.  

Answer 2

first you would have to call the apartments in the area and price them and ask them those questions! I also suggest you save the deposit and also at least 3 months rent! you should also take into account that there are utilities such as phone, cable, electric, heat, that you have to pay for!
