<prompt> Human: I read the article on emergency fund and 6 months savings is recommended. I dont have 6 months savings yet but pretty darn close to it and Im thinking about moving out. As I shop for apartments for rent, Im realizing maybe I can deal with my long commute and wait a little more to save up. So, Im curious on how much money did you guys save up before moving out and did it work out in the end? How did you balance your finances?  <response>: None. I moved out into a paycheck to paycheck life and never looked back. The freedom was worth it. Had a child much too soon but we worked hard and made it work.If you wait until everything is perfect you will wait forever.
