<prompt> Human: I cant decide what would be the smartest move. Heres the backstory: I am 25 and make 36,000year. I live with my parents for free but I do pay for:my phone 130month, my credit card bill balance is at 300, but I pay it off every month, and my car payment 235month with 7000 left. The apartment I want is 1000month including everything. Also, I have no savings. Ideally, I would love to save up enough money to buy my own house at some point. I am a full time student and will graduate in May. I do not have any student loans. So my dilemma is this: continue living at home and save money even though Im 25 and feel like I am way too old to live with my parents or move out. What do you guys think?  <response>: If you have 0 savings what makes you think you can afford 1000 a month more than youre currently paying? Set that money aside for 6 months. If you find you can do it easily then it is a comfortable rent amount. If you cant; its better to knwo before you commit to a lease.
