I moved out at 23, for the sake of comparison I was on £15,000 a year and the rent and bills inc. council tax for a 1 bed "kind of" flat was £325 (which I guess is pretty cheap especially these days). I got cable installed and even had one of the 'adult' channels for a few months. I had guitars in the lounge, cooked women dinner, and had some memorable times with friends. I never really felt like I had a lack of money. Shopping for food is pretty cheap for one person if you want it to be.
I didn't have a car to run I guess. I never really had any issues with my parents, but yeah, it's a pretty good feeling to be supporting yourself. You do feel a bit more grown up in a way.

You'll make little economies elsewhere; food, soap, electricity... You'll only need to buy half as many Playstation games and you can get 7 cans of DAB Premium German Lager for £5 at Oddbins.

I'm pretty sure London's what? 28 yrs+, now so the baby would probably be retarded anyway. I wouldn't bother feeding it, to be honest.

Yes but Vikram, your take on 'The Swedish Way' is probably a naked sauna with three Nordic beauties whose names you can't remember (but you loved them all equally and immediately) whilst drinking Caloric Punsch from frozen glasses on the VIP rooftop of a Stockholm Night Club called Balticity.

on the plus, newspapers can never have too many columnists writing about the trials of bringing up babies. You know, you could approach the whole thing from a feminist perspective, and practically re-invent the art of recounting humourous stories about school runs, designer clothing anxiety, feeling exhausted, and thinking that your child is a genius. I'm sure I speak for the whole of the UK when I say that these subjects are infinitely interesting.

You lose, baby-cakes". But then I read this thing and it's all "babies needs tits so they don't go gay" or something, and even though my baby is so totally gay anyway (he pops a boner every time I play back my seth cohen compliation DVD), I don't want to find him wearing my heels to nappy-club.
So I think wtf, and let the little dude go at my bumps an he looks like matt lucas on a black man's cock - Shhhhhweeet! It was kinda painful, but then I got into it and it was I don't know...pretty sexy in a way, and I was all like moaning and shit, but then we reached my stop, so I got off the bus!!!! Geybies RULE!!

In accordance with the Misc plagiarism laws, I should point out that once again, I've sourced a cheap gag from Lee and Herring, with the whole "And then I got off the bus" routine.

it was funny when they did it though, which may mislead viewers into not immediately finding the connections between my material, and that of Richard Herring and Stuart Lee.

23? You're 23 and you live with mum and dad? Christ, dude.
I moved out when I was 16. Lived in burned out buildings, slept in cars, ate out of dumpsters, sold my body for bags of crisps. It was way less humiliating then staying with my parents. Posts: 7436

16!? You simpering fag! I moved out when I was 9. I was raped to death by paedophiles and my corpse was ground into saveloys... and I've never looked back!

Yeah but none of you beat Dang what left home at 12 and turned into George Orwell or something. I might have got that wrong.
London! You could have one of Dang's babies. He's got fuckloads. I bet he could spare one. For a bit. Then you could give it back if you got bored. Or fall in love with it and spend your next years constantly on the run from the social services, living in up boarded up terraces in abandoned estates. That would be fun.

You have no money at first but it's worth it in the end..
It's like most things - A pain in the arse, who needs the hassle but it's just one of those things you do.
Mind I come from a seriously fractured home so I'm not one to give Ringo advice really, my little brother who is also in his early 20's still lives at home with the folks who look after him, spoil him in point of fact. He wouldn't be able to eat let alone pay a mortgage 'he says' if he lived alone and all the time he gets free take aways, free cans of beer and pays no rent I guess he is better off there. All this for a boy who left at 21 and got a fat girl pregnant. My parents then gave them a flat 'rent free' (which would have actually been a gift to my brother if he could have held down a job for a year) and bought them food, nappies, smokes, clothes and whatever other nonsense they wanted for the year they were together and then when my brother couldn't keep his dick in his pants and was off fucking around behind fat girls back making her dump him they took him back into the house. She stays in the rent free flat.
I was dumped out of the house at 16 and HAD to fend for myself, they never offered me the chance to go back, no money, no help, no nothing.
I forget where I was going with this..

quote:Originally posted by Ringo: ....Now a mate of mine has been renting a bungalow for a few years now and has asked me if I want to move in with him. It’s a gorgeous bungalow, good facilities, in a nice area, close to my friends and close to where I work. The rent though, combined with the general cost of living (I’ve worked this out as best I can) wont leave me with much money to myself though...It’s a tough choice, one which needs some careful thought. I wonder if anyone here is able to give their opinion, and maybe share some experiences with me?...
I say do it...If I had a similar offer now I'd jump at the chance. I've been back living with my parents for like 18 months now and it sucks. I miss having my freedom, I miss pottering about in my own little world and only having to be sociable when I want to be. I even miss cleaning my own kitchen and having things just so...
sad really.
I think the disposable cash question is a big one and one that obviously needs thinking about but when you live in your own place, you do actually need less because lets face it...when you have your own space you dont need to go out? Well thats how it was for me anyway.
Even if you move out for a bit, i guess the worst thing that can happen is it doesnt work out and you move back home?
I'm sure I meant to say more with this post; but its taken about an hour going back and forth trying to type between calls so I've kind of lost my thread...
