<prompt> Human: So Im 24 and live at home. Would really like to move out and not sure if I can afford it. Take home about 1600 a month. 300 goes to car and insurance. 10k in savings. I am working on getting a better job but not quite sure if I ready to make the move. Anyone have some advice? Pittsburgh metro area if that mattersAssistant: I would try to have my rent and food low which means still living at home. Unless living at home is a pain then I would try to milk it as well as help my parents out with bills and whatever I can. These days theres no shame in living at home. You can help your parents and they help you its a win win. But every situation is different.Human: Good advice. Is it feasible though? Hypothetically  <response>: Well, 10k is definitely enough to last you awhile. However, you dont really want to be dipping into savings for very long. The question is, can you afford to live off of 1600 a month? I dont know what rent is like in Pittsburgh. The rule is housing should be 30 of your income...thats only 480 a month for you. If you can find a room for that much, then sure, do it.
