<prompt> Human: Hello first time poster, Im 17 and have just landed my first job, Im in the UK and live with parents. I want to move out and maybe save up to buy a car, I know there is no rush but i really want to kick start my life, I have no debtloans and make around 18,000 a year 23,000 for you Americans. I want a game plan to set out with, Thoughts on what advice you would give your younger self to get the best start they can and what they could have done to make things a little easier. I dont have many costs other than phone bill and getting to and from work everyday, any advice appreciated i want to hear everything and anything thanks so much for taking time out to read and comment. I have important choices to make and i can make it easier by starting now.  <response>: my advice. DONT DO IT. Unless your parents physically abuse you you are throwing away your future, keep living with your parents, get some higher education wether that be college or a trade, 23,000 is not enough to live on after rent, utilities, food, car payment, etc. And its definitely not enough if you want to have any disposable income to make life worth living.
