<prompt> Human: Sadly, im really dependant on my parents. They pay my car insurance, my gas, food and let me live there. So all I pay for is my phone bill. I make 12 dollars an hour and work 36 hours a week. Due to unforseen circumstances, I have no savings and around 1000 dollars of debts to pay back. If I move out, I definitely need to pay those debts off, and start paying my own insurance and gas like normal people. How much would I need to save to even consider moving out as a smart idea? Where do I begin to look for a place? I dont think I can leave my job since its super hard to find someplace thay gives me steady pay, even if its just 12 an hour. If im staying at my job, Im looking to pay almost 1000 for rent. Please help, I cant stay dependant on my parents anymore. I need to be a free bird. I live in Ontario if that helps.  <response>: Its less about how much you have saved before you move out, and more about how much you can save afterward. You only make around 1800month and you shouldnt be spending more than a third of your income on housing. So 1000month is way too much. Thats only going to give you around 180week for all your other expenses and any savings. You need to either find a cheaper place to live, such as living with a roommate, or make more money.
