lol.. this question, the whole thread made me nervous too! ..haheeha.

well, I'd say... go for it! only if $870 is true! .. hey, I'm 21 too so maybe that's impulsive of me saying that..lol.

maybe it's black/white difference from of living in a house and studio (I own a studio alone).. it's always best to have at least 3x - 4x of your income in before you make a big decision. and move in after you're so sure! (that's when your heart is talking..)

well, I'm not gonna read all of overwhelming, awful expenses said above.. they every don't happen to everyone, you know? but, obviously, be prepared -- just before, inspect every square, good questionnaires, etc..that'll help a lot.

so...also just remember one important thing, financially failing? god won't create you a mountain that you can't climb! (possibly of parenting financial support? no broken faculities? luck? or winning lottery?)

what I'd do, move in if everything looks good or stay put with parents, reaching the goal I had made.. now, go crazy, amy!!! follow your heart and nebo will love it!!

a luck hug for you,
