Question
i am trying to move out of my parents house i make about 1600 a month and am still having trouble budgeting to save enough to move. what can i do?
Hi Ashley,
You will need to calculate the total amount needed to move. Then decide how long you are willing to stay with your parents so that you can save enough to make your move. The reality is that you may need to earn additional income (ex get a second job or a better paying position).
