<prompt> Human: I was told to repost this here to see if I anyone else had some advice towards my situation.reposted from rmovingout: Currently, I am 22 years old living with my parents. I am still in college and will be for the forseeable future next few years. I live with my parents still but recently it has become stressful to live there. They are currently facing the beginning of a foreclosure on our house and we are having family problems in general. The situation has been toxic for years but has only recently reached a breaking point. Currently I make about 1000-1200 monthly. I have almost 5000 saved up as well. Ive considered buying a condo with someone or trying to rent an apt with someone. Im looking for advice on what you would do if you were in my position. What are some things I should know before I try to move out?  <response>: With your current income, job history, and savings, its pretty unlikely youll qualify for much of a loan, if any. So stick a pin in the homeownership idea for a little while until you finish school and get your financial situation more stabilized. Your best bet, especially with this being your first time moving out, is to find the cleanest, safest, and cheapest, possible roommate situation you can find. The general rule of thumb is to spend 30 of your income, MAX, on housing. May take a bit of searching to find that, but stick to the limit. Otherwise youre just setting yourself up to struggle with money, which sucks.
