<prompt> Human: Hey! Im 19, Ive lived with my grandmother for the past 10 years now. While I love her, the relationship is pretty toxic and Ive decided that I want to take steps towards being on my own. Right now Im not in school and I have two jobs. Im currently only working 3 days a week but Ill be able to get more days in the summer because some of the other employees will be leaving. At one job Im a dishwasher making 7.50 an hour plus minor tips, averaging about 6 hours per shift. My other job is at a smaller reataurant, there I make 4.50 an hour plus at least 20 per shift in tips, I typically work 5-6 hours there. At my one job I will probably upgrade from being a dishwasher to a fryer because the current fryer will be leaving once her semester ends, which I think will mean Ill get paid more.I live on the East Side of Pittsburgh, its a college-y, hipster-y area so there are always students and artists looking to find roomates to share a cheap rent with. I browse craigslist a lot, and on it I find many places that go from 300-500 a month. Most of them are already furnished and have utitilities included in the rent. If you could estimate, how much do you think I would reasonably need to have saved up before I make the jump? Do roomates usually ask you how much money you have, and how much would make them comfortable? What financial roadblocks do you think I might run into? I used to think that it would take me like over a year and I would need to have thousands of dollars saved up before I moved out, but looking at my circumstance it very much feels like I could pull it off sooner rather than later. At the same time though, I want to be wise about this and not be unprepaired.  <response>: Ideally 3-6 month emergency fund, moving costs, first months rent, deposit.
