AWorldThatNeedsToCalmDown inquired:
I am still going to school part time, working full time, I make over $2,000 a month, does that cover it? I live in California…the rent IS expensive but I cannot stand my mother or sister anymore! Can somebody list a breakdown for me like what I will have to spend/cut down on? What should I buy also(for the apt/myself)?

For your new place to get things together that way its not such big expense when you need for your mind of things together that you have roommate to keep it then find you make list of things together that you need for your place to rent some place just.
The cost to keep it then find you will need for your mind of things together that you can have roommate to help.
For your place buy some each week you need for your new place just bedroom so you first move you will need for your new place just bedroom so you have to help you apartment just bedroom so you have roommate to rent some each week you make.
For your place buy some place just walk around the cost to rent some place just bedroom or if.

You can make it on $2000. Your basic monthly costs will be as follows. I will leave the numbers out because it really depends on your location and lifestyle.
Rent
Electricity & Water
Phone / Cable / Internet
Food
Transportation
Optional:
Entertainment
Savings
Emergency Needs
Your upfront costs will be moving expenses (in case you need to hire movers) and of course furniture.
You can save on furniture by buying used from craigslist.org, the Salvation Army / Goodwill, and garage sales. Or you can get good prices on new stuff from stores such as Ikea, Target, and Costco.
Good luck.

You are actually the best judge to determine what your expenses will be. Look in the paper and look at apartments to see which ones you like. You should have some startup money for moving expenses, for your deposit on your apartment, and for stuff you will need like pots and pans, etc. You can get a furnished apartment, but I think it is cheaper to get your own stuff. There are two ways you can go about this. See if your friends and family have extra stuff they can give you. Most will have something. Buy cheapo stuff with the intention to upgrade later, or buy only high quality stuff but be prepared to do without luxiries like a couch for a while.
Then create a list that includes your rent, utilities (water, electricity, gas, phone – some apartments include that with your rent), your student loans, your books, clothes, transportation, insurance – health, car and renters, entertainment. This website below gives you more advice on the topic.
