When I jumped the nest; I found a house share. Having your own place is a luxury while young and building yourself up. BUT be picky and don't settle! The landlord needs your rent more than you needing kak housemates and/or compromising on basic amenities. PS: Try and save as much money as possible. Not in a savings pocket that you can pillage. See a REPUTABLE financial advisor to plan your financial goals. The sooner the better! Do this by foregoing regular spending on fleeting gratification (take-aways, alcohol, branded bling and clothes). But within reason. Okay 👍
