Hello everybody,
I am trying to figure out if I will be able to afford this townhome or not. It's only a little more expensive than an apartment but I currently do not rent an apartment. My situation is as follows.
I am 18 years old living in the Houston area of Texas. I currently live with a friends family but I am looking to move into my own townhome with my girlfriend in a few months. I pay all of my own bills except for rent (and other bills associated with renting property).
I am trying to figure out how much per month I could expect to be paying when living at my own place.
Currently, I pay:
1) Car Insurance
2) Gas
3) School (I don't currently qualify for financial aid)
4) Internet
5) Cell phone
6) Storage (for an antique car)
7) Food
I know that I will have to pay,
1) Rent
2) Renters Insurance
3) Water
4) Electricity
5) Gas
6) Trash
Is there anything else I am missing from this list? I don't want to jump into a situation I won't be able to handle, so I am looking for as much information as possible. If somebody could please give me an estimated monthly cost for two people (living conservatively) and a break down of bills, that would be VERY much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Tim
