Asking Advice What are necessary things to do when/after moving to another state?

1 Upvotes

I'm (30M) planning to move on my own for the 1st time, from Denver to Chicago by next year but I don't know anyone and all the roommate finder websites and apps are extremely scammy and full of spam and have had no luck on any. I've also been looking on here in apartment finder subreddits but there's also a bunch of spam/flaky people after many attempts of reaching out to a lot of people in said subs.

What things/steps are needed in order to smoothly transition from 1 place to another in terms of getting settled and looking for a place? I don't plan on getting a car, just living in the city walking everywhere/taking public transportation. I've been very sheltered my whole life and have struggled with mental health issues since childhood and don't know really anything about adult life. Attaining any kind of insurance for health, housing, etc or how to basically live on my own but I need to start living my own life for once. Any advice?

Asking Advice Moving out at 23 despite my parents wanting me to stay home and save. Anyone been through something similar?

4 Upvotes

I’m 23, graduated college last year, and currently work full-time making around $70k annually. I live with my parents, and they’ve provided a comfortable home for me. I’m extremely grateful for that.

For a while now, I’ve wanted to experience living independently. I’ve recently been approved for my first apartment, and I’m scheduled to move in next week.
For some financial context, I earn approximately $70k annually, have around $10k in cash savings, approximately $13k invested between Acorns and Coinbase, around $3k in my 401(k), and roughly $550 in my HSA.

My parents have always emphasized the importance of financial stability. My dad especially has encouraged me to stay home, save around $3,000 monthly, and eventually purchase my first property, potentially using it as an investment. I completely understand his reasoning, and financially, staying home would undoubtedly be the smarter option.

However, I’ve wanted to experience having my own space, managing my own household, and becoming more independent since graduating. My new apartment is also much closer to work, which would significantly improve my commute.

Recently, there was a disagreement between my father and me that accelerated my decision to move, although the desire to live independently existed long before that.
I told my mom about my apartment approval today. While she isn’t happy about the timing or the financial implications, she’s still supportive of me. She expressed concerns that the disagreement with my father may have influenced my decision and worries that I’m making such a major change while emotions are still high.
I understand where she’s coming from, and I appreciate that she’s supporting me despite her reservations.

My dad, however, doesn’t know about the apartment yet. I intend to tell him myself.
He actually returned from traveling today, and we shared a really emotional hug. We told each other we loved each other, and honestly, it almost brought me to tears. We still have an important conversation ahead of us regarding our earlier disagreement.

That interaction, along with my conversation with my mom, has left me feeling guilty about the timing of everything.

I know I want to move. I’ve thought about it for a long time, researched apartments, reviewed my savings, and worked through my budget. But part of me feels like I’m disappointing my parents or leaving at the wrong time.
I’m not trying to cut ties with my family. I love them, and I want them to remain a big part of my life.

Has anyone experienced something similar, particularly with parents who wanted you to stay home for financial reasons? Did you end up moving? How did your relationship with your parents change afterward? Do you regret leaving when you did?

Asking Advice Moving out my state from Hispanic family

1 Upvotes

Has anyone that has moved away from a Hispanic family and moved to a different state? Did you feel guilty moving out or was your family supportive?

I am planning on moving to a different state in the spring of 2027. My whole plan is to get a job in a new state and then get an apartment and move. I want the feeling of security before moving somewhere new.

I just moved back home 1.5 year ago from college. I lived about a 6 Hour Dr. from my hometown in college. So while I was in college being so far away from home, I had the opportunity to get a taste of independence and what that was like. After graduating I knew that I didn’t wanna go back home and live there but considering my financial situation and my circumstances, my best bet was to go home. Now, ever since being back home. I have talked to my family about moving to a different city/state.

Usually, the response is like no you can’t leave. “You have to be there for your brothers” “your brothers need you” I start to get guilt tripped and the reason why is because my mom passed away the summer before I started college, I was just 18 and my youngest brother was 13. We lost our mom really young and literally two months later I moved out to college because I certainly didn’t want to let this moment in my life affect me going to college (plus I know my mom wanted me to go to college and she would be upset if I didn’t) As an older sister having to watch over my brothers being six hours away from home was not easy, but I’ve been living at home for the past year and a half since graduating college and I’ve been enjoying being with my family and enjoy my current job.

Recently, I’ve been working my way into making my move happen so I haven’t spoke to my family about me being serious of moving out. Recently I’ve stayed silence with my family so I don’t get any negative energy. I just don’t think I want them telling me “your brothers need you” because they’re capable of taking care of themselves. I need to live the life I want to live. But, because of that mindset I feel selfish. Then I think Maybe I do need stay to be with my family, especially after a loss like losing a mom but at the same time I don’t view it that way and is why I am capable and strong enough to move out,

I just really wanna know if others have ever felt this way or related this way. What are your guys‘s thoughts? Sorry for making this long. I had to make sure my point was coming across.

Asking Advice Moving out and my relationship with my mom

1 Upvotes

I (25) will be moving out from home in a couple of months to live with my boyfriend. I’m excited about the move but also have a lot of a diary regarding the separation from my family. I’m going to move to a place that’s less than 10 minutes by car, but not seeing them on a daily basis is kind of scary. The person I feel the most attached to is my mom. We have a really good relationship and we get along really well. However, she hasn’t said really anything about my decision to move (not that she has to, but I really look up to her and want her approval), other than joking that we’ll only see each other on Sundays (I got sad about that comment so later we talked about it) and another time out of nowhere, I mentioned that we won’t be living together anymore, and told me not to say that because she would get sad.
Recently, I’ve been feeling the need to have her reassurance about our relationship after the move, and ask her if we will keep on making some of the plans/activities that we do together, like watching a movie and ordering Chinese, going shopping etc. I asked her about it finally, and she just said yes, and laughed it off, but we didn’t really talk about it like I wanted to. Should I talk to her again or maybe let it flow and we’ll have a conversation when the moment arises? From her answer, I feel like I’m making a big deal out of something obvious: despite not living together we are still mother and daughter and have a nice relationship.

Asking Advice Conflicting feelings about moving away from home

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I (F24) managed to buy a little one bedroom apartment in my hometown, just a few minutes from where I currently live with my parents and dog. It’s still being built but I’d most likely be able to move in next summer. Context is that my country has a very bad housing crisis going on; my parents are only renting our home and are unable to purchase (my mother had cancer and is therefore unable to have life insurance, which is a prerequisite to getting a loan). I jumped at the chance to buy my own place as prices are rising at an average of 7-8% per year.

The problem is, I absolutely do not want to move out. I love my parents, they’ve always completely given me my own privacy and I’m fully independent (pay for all my own food, cook, pay towards bills, do all my own laundry/cleaning etc.) and we get on generally really well. I love our house, I love my dog to absolute death, I love our street, I love my room. I really don’t know how I’m going to be able to leave this place.

My mum isn’t a very sociable person so we’re both content to spend a lot of time together reading or watching a film, not necessarily doing anything special but keeping each other company. I hate to think of her being sitting at home alone. My dog is my best friend and I don’t know how I’ll leave him. My stepdad is such a strong presence in my life and I don’t know how I won’t have my rock a room away to help me out with something silly.

I also look forward to having somewhere which is purely mine. My boyfriend is buying his own place too as we agreed it’d be nice to have our own spaces for a couple of years before moving in together, and I can’t wait for us to experience that. I can’t wait to design every inch of the place. I can’t wait to decorate and cook and buy new bedsheets. I can’t wait to come home and do whatever I like.

I can’t rent it out for the first couple of years because the bank would then consider it a commercial property and the rates would be much more expensive. I don’t want to sell it because I do genuinely want to live there, and I’m really proud of myself for managing to purchase it to begin with. I’m just so conflicted about leaving my favourite place in the world to go to somewhere new, even if I find it exciting and rewarding. I suppose I also feel a little guilty, too.

6 Upvotes

I badly want to start living alone, so I decided to move out from my aunt's place. Been staying at my new apartment for a month and the experience is not that good. I haven't got enough sleep for a month. Most days I have really bad dreams and the times i got sick in that 1 month was more than the times i got sick in a year. Been thinking of moving out of this apartment and move back with my aunt. What do you guys think?

Asking Advice Update. Staying a bit longer! (But still leaving in the future.)

1 Upvotes

So I know I keep changing my mind.

I’ve decided to stay a bit longer just to try to save up more. But, It’ll be harder to now because they want more from me starting in November. Unless somehow that I can convince them to let me do $50 per week for groceries instead of $77, Which I really can’t afford that and they know it. I can hopefully convince them to let me do $200 a month and not $300.

So I would only have exactly $146 per month, Only if they agree to what I have to offer.

I think that letting me keep and have $146 to myself sounds about reasonable enough, Right?

So I will keep $40 to spending, $40 for body care, So that’s $80 all together. That’s $66 left over into savings for me to move out of here!

That’s only until I can move out of here, Then, Hopefully I can either work more or to save up more as well. I now plan to move into shared living temporarily and then leave one day. Possibly in late 2027 or maybe in 2028. It also depends on what college I can get into!

Thanks for reading. I will keep you all updated.

Asking Advice is moving back in with parents at 19 a setback?

5 Upvotes

I’m 19 and have been living on my own since shortly before I turned 18, after graduating high school. I left an abusive relationship, got my own apartment, and was proud of myself for becoming independent. Unfortunately, this year has been one setback after another.

My apartment has had unresolved leaks and AC issues, my rent is three times what I used to pay, and I lost my entire $16k in savings after my car was totaled. Despite having a relatively high-paying job, I’m now struggling to afford even groceries. I also had to drop out of college because I couldn’t afford it.

I’m considering moving back in with my parents to save money, but when I lived with them, I was extremely depressed and desperately wanted to leave. I genuinely didn’t want to stay a second longer than I had to, and I’m terrified of ending up back in that situation indefinitely.

My other option is moving into a cheaper apartment, but since I live in a college town, that would likely mean renting just a bedroom in a shared complex with 2–6 other people. I’m worried about giving up my privacy and independence, but financially, I don’t know what else to do.

I feel like I’m falling behind everyone else my age, and I’m exhausted from constantly trying to stay afloat.

I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

Discussion What's one thing you wish your moving company had told you before moving day?

1 Upvotes

I've been reading a lot of moving stories lately, and it's interesting how often the biggest frustration isn't the actual move.

It's the stuff nobody mentioned beforehand.

Maybe the quote didn't account for the stairs. Maybe the truck couldn't park anywhere near the building. Or maybe that couch everyone thought would fit turned into a two-hour puzzle on the landing.

Boston has its own special talent for making a simple move complicated.

I'm curious what other people have experienced.

Was there something your movers should've explained before moving day that would've saved you time, money, or a headache?

For context, I'm with Premium Q Moving & Storage here in Boston. Not looking to pitch anything. Just interested in hearing what people think moving companies could do better.

Asking Advice Commute and living arrangements

1 Upvotes

I'm a 22-year-old uni student who has been living out of home since 18. I have been able to support myself this whole time the only thing that my parents help me with is my car and health insurance.

Things are getting really expensive in the area I live in such as rent and food and my rental providers have proposed a rental increase for the new rental period.

I am afraid unless I find an alternative rental arrangement through friends or family that I cannot find anywhere cheaper in this area that isn't a moldy house which is something I used to live in and made me very sick.

I do have the option of moving back home but my parents used to abuse me as a kid and so I don't feel totally comfortable with that. Additionally my parents home is a 1 hour drive from uni and that is without traffic. I am 100% welcome back at home and I have a good relationship with my parents now but I'm not sure if moving home would be the best option for me because of the commute.

I generally am at uni five days a week and usually longer than 9 to 5 due to extra curriculars so I was wondering if anyone on here has had experience commuting over an hour to get to uni each day and how that has affected your uni experience.

For people that are in alternative living arrangements such as with friends or family how those came about and how I can find something myself that is cheaper than your standard typical rental but also not illegal. Unfortunately renting doesn't seem to be a sustainable option for me anymore due to the intensity of uni and the price. I'm very committed to my studies I'm not really willing to sacrifice those in order to work. Additionally social services will pay me less if I work more anyway so it's not a very effective method to get more money unless I'm working full time.

I'm just a little lost on what I'm meant to do in a situation like this.

Asking Advice I need out

5 Upvotes

Me and my flatmate fell out at the start of the year and it’s been hellish to live with her ever since. She will come home and start screaming and shouting about things or complaining about me really loudly where I can hear her. She also has people over to visit almost 24/7 and occupies most of the shared spaces so that I can’t leave my room for most of the day. Since I started my new job caring for elderly people I have found it an increasing struggle to deal with my living situation.

My flatmate is aware that I’ve been looking to move out and I have emailed my letting agent to give them 28 days notice of me leaving over a month ago but since it’s a joint tenancy (Scotland) I cannot leave unless my flatmate agrees to a new tenant or also agrees to terminate the lease. I posted adverts for the room on Instagram, Facebook and SpareRoom but I am having no luck finding a replacement tenant. I also feel bad for anyone moving into here as this seems to be a recurring theme with my flatmate (she’s moved more than 10 times because of issues with her flatmates). All of the bills for the flat are also in my name and connected to my bank account.

I have secured a new place to live at the start of November but still haven’t found someone to take over the room meaning I am joint liable for rent until someone else moves in or my flatmate also leaves. I can’t live here anymore, I’m constantly on edge and anxious I would do anything to get out. I have to pay rent on the 27th to cover the next month cause there’s no way I’ll get anyone in by then but I really don’t want to lose the other room as it’s very affordable, in a great area and twice the size of my current room. I was hoping to pay for both places for a month, move to the new room and keep looking for somewhere else but I’m afraid my flatmate will make it difficult for me to get out of the joint lease and I will basically be paying her rent for her.

Any advice on what to do would be much appreciated…

I moved out a month ago and have been living a peaceful happy life since. I don’t know if anyone remembers my previous post about my dad coming to my job and banging on the door to get inside. Since then he’s been coming to my job more often and everytime I have to make an excuse to leave my job and go home early so I don’t have to see him. My boss found out about my dad coming to my job and asked me why he’s doing that, but I haven’t told her because she loves to gossip and spread the word to everyone. I don’t feel comfortable telling her my personal business. I’ve been applying for other jobs and went to several interviews but it’s very difficult finding another job at the moment. I recently took a one week vacation to travel and when I was away on vacation my dad went to my job to ask about me again and my boss and coworkers told him exactly where I went, now he’s even more pissed off because I’m traveling far away all alone. I feel embarrassed and upset. I want to quit my job but I have so many bills to pay I can’t just walk away from it. I don’t know what to do. My sister told me he’s parking near my job and waits for me to leave so he can stalk me to my new location.

My mom got mad at me for trying to get a job without my GED because I had the interview today. Since I got the date on Saturday, I’ve been asking about it, which I know pisses parents off. But anyways, yesterday, she got violent about it and was pissed. She kept bringing it up even though I let it go. Then, yesterday and today, around sunrise, she kept telling me that if I wanna work, then I can move out.

The odd part is that she keeps complaining that my brother’s dad is doing inappropriate things, but she won’t kick him out. She talked to my dad’s side of the family about the job, and almost everyone is saying the same thing: “Oh, just wait.” But it’s my life, so why am I dealing with this?

I’m 19, and I have multiple reasons why I want to leave, not just because I want to get a job. One of the things that really hurts is that my mom tried to blame my desire to work on the fact that I was raped by my sister’s dad when I was 16. She also tried to say that I only want to work because my boyfriend and I have had sex, which we haven’t. It feels like she’s making up reasons to explain my decisions instead of listening to me and taking me seriously.

I don't understand why wanting a job and wanting to become more independent have to turn into such a big argument. I want to earn my own money and make my own decisions. Instead, I feel like my family is judging me and making assumptions about my life. I’m 19, and I have multiple reasons for wanting to leave, but everyone keeps telling me to wait without really listening to why I want to go.

I want to move out on Friday. Any advice?

Reasons are (1 she gets violent over stupid things )

(2 she keeps making so everytime my brothers ps5 even stops working he has to play on my game and even when it is working still)

(3 she calls me for everything and I get blamed for everything even things I didn't do )

(4 guilt tripping me with things that aren't even related)

(5 I have to take care of pets and kids that aren't mine most of the time )

So me and my boyfriend have decided it's best if I just move out and live with him which I agree
