Cutting the apron strings, spreading your wings, entering the real world\u2026 there\u2019s a bunch of cliches to describe moving out of your parents\u2019 house for the first time, but none of them really do it justice. It\u2019s a huge step that\u2019s terrifying and exciting all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arguably, it\u2019s a bigger deal than ever before. A mixture of COVID, job losses, and massive student loans has made it increasingly difficult for people to move out of the family home. It\u2019s tough, but if you\u2019re ready to make the big move we\u2019ve got some moving out tips to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether the next step is university, a houseshare, or a place of your own, independence, privacy, and (unfortunately) utility bills await\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It might seem like we\u2019re starting with a bit of a downer, but this is the jumping-off point that everything else hinges on. Getting a handle on your finances is going to be crucial to moving out successfully. But how do you figure out if you can afford it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s time to take a deep dive into your finances to work out the answer. List down anything that you pay for, from your phone bill to car payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, make sure you include things that you might not pay for now, but will have to once you move out of your parents\u2019 house. That might be stuff like groceries and rent. Get really specific here, from gym memberships to nights out, note it all down no matter how small. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll also need to add bills to your outgoings. It might be difficult to nail down an exact figure here, but you\u2019ll be able to get fairly close by researching companies\u2019 rates and checking out council tax costs in the area you want to move to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To put it simply, you\u2019ll need to make sure the money you have coming in will cover all the outgoings on your spreadsheet. It does? Perfect! The next step is to consider the up-front costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are things that won\u2019t be ongoing but will need to be paid out before you move. So that goes for deposits, which can be anything from 0 to eight weeks\u2019 rent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019ll also cover anything you need before moving in, like a mattress and a bed if the property is unfurnished. It might even take into account the logistics of moving, like hiring a moving van or shipping your items for university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
