Moving Out Of Your Parents' House- Episode 2

So- you are beginning to think about moving out of your parents’ house. Congratulations- this is a big step. I know it is low-key terrifying in the beginning. Whether you are excited, anxious or fed up sharing a room with your sibling, I made this episode for you.

On this episode of the WeeklyBagel Podcast, I talked about the process of moving out of your parents’ house. I break down everything from how much money you should save to spotting apartment scams. Or even worse, anything else which may make you question whether you are ready to move.

As working class adults, the first steps toward a semblance of independence is to break the yoke of parental dependence. Would you agree?

Without getting a place of our own, it is hard to grasp the extent of our strengths. This is especially, when someone else is always solving our life challenges. The surest way to maturity and financial stability is to leave our parents’ nest and establish ours out there with the rest of the maddening crowd.

This episode explores the following below:

Building your credit score and history before getting a place of your own. This is since leasing offices usually run a credit on you before deciding to rent their apartments to you.
How much you need to save before moving out. This includes for how long.
The kind of job you need to get to meet the saving goal.
What kind of apartment to go for- studio vs one bedroom.

Below is a list of articles I talked about on this episode. Be sure to check them, since they touch on credit card and building credit. These are important, because it is hard to get an apartment with no credit.

Finally, moving out is not about boxes and leases. It is about building your grown-up life step by step and one bill at a time. This is while growing in a way which makes sure you do not move back into your parent’s apartment. So, hit play above and let us map this together!
