<prompt> Human: Im 20 years old and really need to move out of my parents place for personal reasons. Ive calculated my monthly income and how much Id have left over after my monthly expenses:Monthly income: 1,200-1,400Phone Bill: 122monthGas: 40-60monthMedia Subscriptions: 20monthCar Insurance: 125monthSavings Deposit: 100monthWhich leaves me with around 773 leftover. Rent near me is around 500-600 for a 1b 1ba apartment. Ive gone through many potential roommates but they keep flaking on me.Lets say I have to pay 600 a month in rent. That leaves me with 173month for groceriesincidentalspersonal spendingetc. I have no idea whether or not that is enough. I have no credit or credit card. Should I get one?Staying with my parents isnt awful but is also not ideal. Should I wait out for another roommate or go for it?Thanks.Assistant: Obviously 170mo is nowhere near enough. Why is your phone bill so much? Suck it up with your parents and invest some money in developing a career path so you can comfortably move out later. Human: I got the most reasonable cell phone plan I could with a safe amount of data to have to use navigation when ever Im traveling or access the internet when away from WiFi. Theres no point in investing money in a career path when Im already in one and working my way up from the bottom. Id rather get paid to do shit work in a kitchen and get promoted to chef like most everyone who works at my job has than become thousands of dollars in debt going to culinary school. Im asking for genuine advice here.  <response>: 50 unlimited - there I just added 40 to your budget. Thats great really that you know what want to do, but at 10hr Im guessing there are additional skillstrainingclasses you could be learningdoing. Invest in yourself and it will pay off.If youre adamant about moving out you need a roommate for sure. Less rent but also cuts utilities costs.
