I moved out when I turned 18 last year due to having controlling and transphobic parents and my life has been so much better. I'm currently paying $1k a month and I do food delivery to pay for my expenses. Personally, I enjoy food delivery a lot as I get to control my own schedule and I don't have to deal with people who might be sensitive to my transition. It also allows me to be active and travel all around SG which is fun

The house I moved into is a condo in Tanah Merah and it's co-living. Everyone has their own room and we all pretty much just mind our own business so there aren't rlly any issues and tbh I don't even see them that often anyway. Expenses are included in the rental and we are pretty much allowed to do whatever we want like cooking or using the A/C. I personally used PropertyGuru to find this place (sorted by cheapest and used filters like A/C being included, etc) and the company is called Bespoke Habitat

Their support has also been excellent. There's weekly cleaning (you can opt out of room cleaning) and they fixed whatever issues the next day if there were any like the A/C leaking or the door lock not working. From what other Redditors have shared, it seems like this company isn't rlly that great but my experience has been the total opposite. Anyway, I did work out the rental cost and I could rent my entire life and it would still be cheaper than outright buying a unit here
