Maybe mom is the best roommate for you til you make more.Start saving. To rent a place youll need a security deposit, plus 1st months rent, plus utility hookups. Then youll want to have next months rent utilities in the bank so you can sleep at night.Somewhere in here its a good idea to start paying down your debt. Prioritize this based on the interest rate.
