I live with my partners parents simply because we're not in a position to afford a house at the moment.
I'm 21 on a ~16K salary, Amber is about to turn 19, full time student & does late shifts 3 days a week at Waitrose.
I just about get by at the moment paying:
Rent
I buy all my own food etc
RAC
Insurance
Car loan
Phone contract
Fuel/other bits
TBH i'm quite happy how it is, yeah it's time to get our own place but currently without 2 full time incomes, I wouldnt dream of it. This country is in such a mess, I wouldn't trust being able to support myself fully with moving out.
Do what you feel you can cope with, I saw so many friends move out when they hit 20 because they had a job paying £6.50 an hour and thought they could afford it all, it's amazing how quick they ended up back at mummy & daddys. These days it's really not unusual to hear of 30+yr olds still living at home.
