<prompt> Human: In september of this year, I 18m am moving into an apartment with 2 of my best friends who are females. The apartment is 3 bed and 3 bath with a kitchen, laundry, garage, whole 9 yards. Onto the finance part, I make 9.25 an hour at between 25 hours a week to 35. Rent is 1400, split between 3 people is 467 a month. Is this a viable plan? Any advice on a budget or about my plan would be great, thanks in advance.Assistant: Itll probably end up taking up half of your income. What other expenses do you have? Human: 60 a month for car insurance, other than that nothing.Assistant: Youre going to college for free, with a paid off car, and no cellphone bill? If thats the case, good for you man. Youll have to budget yourself, make sure you set aside that money for rent, and dont touch it. If all the rest is disposable income, try and save a chunk of it each paycheck for an emergency fund. Human: I will be saving up for college this summer as well, I bought my own truck cash completely paid off, my mom has agreed to take my cell phone bill as I help out my siblings alot over the summer. I was just looking for some advice to make sure this was a viable plan from a outsiders perspective, do you think so?  <response>: You need to put more details in your post.How much does school cost? include booksHow much do you spend a week on gas?How much do you spend on going outentertainment?How much do you have budgeted for groceriesfood?My guess is at the end of the year, youll be in debt to either your parents or to the credit card company. This happens with many people when they go out on their own. Its important not to let it spiral out of control. For example, you may build up debt during the school year but can knock it down very quickly during the summer. Its not ideal, but it can be an acceptable way of doing things while youre in school.
