[nabs-l] Question about moving out of your parents house

[Ashley Bramlett]

I agree Nimer. Living as a 19 year old with a 22 year old is not the best 
idea. You don't know how stable their life and finances are.
I am looking forward though to having a job someday and being able to have a 
place. Rent is expensive!
Entry level jobs are hard to come by for us though as many require filing, 
sorting mail, and visual tasks.
There is a series of books from National braille press, NBP.
They may help in knowing the basics of apartment renting and opening a bank 
account and finances.
I plan to get it. The books are The Real U guide to Finding your First job, 
the Real U Guide to your First Apartment, and the Real U guide to your first 
bank account. I cannot say how useful they are without reading them, but by 
the table of contents/description, sounds very useful so you know how to pay 
your bills and manage on your own.

Yeah, I have an idea. Don't do it.

OK, so you didn't ask whether you should do it or not, so if you
decide to do it anyway, you should just tell your parents straight
out. You're an adult and have a right to make whatever decisions about
your living arrangements that you want. Doing this on December 20th,
five days before Christmas, is really bad timing. If you insist on
going through with this, then you should tell them ASAP. Like that
means today. This will get them time to adjust to the idea.

OK, hope that helps somewhat, but as you might have guessed I'm
really, really against this idea!
