<prompt> Human: Hi, 23 years old, I currently live in NJ and I need to move out of my parents house. I make about 2k a month after taxes and I have no idea what to do. I have about 25k in savings and no investments other than a car no payments. Im reading about rent vs. buy and its just sending me down a rabbit hole of gibberish i know nothing about.nbsp; I want to live somewhere that wont cost the majority of my monthly income so I can save at least a little bit of money while Im making this shit income. I can live essentially anywhere because I work from home. Any advice? If more info is needed that I havent provided I can do so. Thank you.nbsp;Side note: Ive been looking at apartments in many places, and there seems to be a distinction between regular apartmentsmulti-family homes and apartment communities. Whats the difference between these and which is better?  <response>: If you dont have a reason to buy, dont buy. The biggest money saver in renting will be finding someone to split rent with. Try craigslist.
