 I'm sure you'll be fine. Just don't get a credit card.

figure out how much everything else is going to cost first , then you can calculate how much you need for food , and also be sure to have money left over "in case of emergency" and if your not spending money on drugs or doing them then it should be a whole lot easier to figure out where it is your money does go |

Thanks for all your helpful replies. I really appreciate it. That's why I love this place. I should mention that i'll be by my lonesome with no pesky roommates, so i'll have the run of the house, as well as any/all expenses. Can anyone give me an idea on how much to spend TOPS on food? I think I could live off of Top Ramen or Campbells until things get better, and all these other foods mentioned sound pretty pricey too. I've haven't had fast food in a long time, and I plan on not breaking that record anytime soon. No drinks necessary, I love water. Quote:

Oh boy where to start. 1. Do not move out if you are already in debt!!! 2. Do not move in with your best friend, or someone you cannot communicate well with, it can have disasterous effects. 3. As others have said, don't get an expensive internet/phone/tv package. You do not need it! 4. Learn how to cook simple meals such as omelettes (you might call them tortillas), pasta dishes, jacket potatos, stir fries, curries and perhaps a roast dinner or two - for impressing people (ask your mum she should be able to help). 5. Do not move in with anyone that you love or care for, you will end up hating them. 6. Independance can be a little disapointing after a few weeks of staying up to 4am (just because you can), sometimes its very lonely. Keep your friends close and don't be afraid to invite your parents round from time to time. This has added bonuses of your mum cleaning and cooking for you and your dad slipping you extra cash. 7. Last but not least, invest in a good saucepan, frying pan, plate, scales, knife and fork and cooking utensils. Practice cooking especially basics like rice and potatos before you go. Jacket Potatos are good comfort food. I nearly forgot. Takeaways are extremely expensive and they soon add up. Laziness with cooking results in laziness in other areas of your life. Cooking is a good stress reliever. Also take books and torches for when your electricity runs out. Also don't forget to change your sheets. Have at least 2 of everything so you can wash one lot of bedding while you use the other. I may remember more later... |

get a job that pays under the table , don't always eat out , figure out a way to get other people to buy you beer or you can just marry an old dude and scare the shit out of him so he has a heart attack just make sure he puts everything in your name and remember its ok to spend all your money on pot if your going to sell it for profit . other then that learn to shop for bargains |

| Marc Summers | I get a student discount at this supermarket i go to (like 5% off or something), so I usually buy like a pound of chicken a week or so, plus veggies (under $1/lb for most), and bananas are like 30 cents a pound, and then there's like milk, bread, oj, whatever so if you plan out what you'll be eating then it should be ok. I usually end up spending around 10-20 bucks a week on food :/ | ||

don't fall into the credit card trap, regardless of how enticing it may seem. budgeting, i agree, is crucial. if you don't have the money for something, don't buy it. plan for expenditures. and regardless of how much you end up hating your job, don't quit until you have one to replace it. and don't rely on your band's jobs to pay the bills. and don't move in with anyone you want to remain friends-forever with. |

| mburbank | Don't listen to him! I fucked a Foreman Grill once and it was AWFUL! I'm still peeling. | ||

| ziggytrix | fuck the Foreman grill, beg someone to buy you a Cuisinart one as a housewarming gift - it's so much easier to clean up, with the removable griddle/grill and you can cook anything on it - it's awesome. | ||

1.) Your parents are going to move and not leave a forwarding adress. 2.) It's all downhill from here. How fast you go depends on you. Sometimes. Other times it's all about who's ever pushing you. 3.) We all die one day. 4.) Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. 5.) Prison is even worse than you've heard. |

And Asian women will only break your heart and put you in therapy. So stay away from them, too.
