23 y/o single female housing advice needed?

Hi, i'm 23 and currently still living with my parents but it has become unbearable for everyone. I am greatful that my parents up until now have let me live in their house. I have a full time, steady job. My dad keeps telling me that I should have a boyfriend by now to move out with and my only hope of moving out is getting a boyfriend/partner. I'm not that type of person, i'm happy single and I would like to live on my own. But my dad is making me feel really quite low about myself. I have been thinking about looking into getting a Static mobile home but I keep reading that they are most suitable for over 55's and people about to retire. At 23 years old would getting a static mobile home on a park somewhere be a bit weird? I only earn 1,000 a month. Please any response/advice will help me.23 y/o single female housing advice needed?
Where abouts in the UK do you live? 拢1000 a month is a very liveable wage! Some like my sister only earn 拢900 a month at 19, and she still goes out every weekend, has enough for bills, food, clothes etc!


Can be done and doesn't have to mean living badly or being peniless!





The ONLY thing that wage might mean, is that (especially if you live in an expensive city like London) you have have to flat share.





When I was earning 拢1000 a month I shared with ONE other person in a two bed flat and my rent inc houshold bills, council tax etc came to 拢550 a month! (now granted that was with my partner, BUT if he wasn't around I'd still flatshare with 1 other person)





Nothing wrong with NOT having a boyf but your wage MAY restrict you to living alone depending on your area/rent.





Nothing wierd about living in a static home, if that's what you want or can afford BUT i'd go down to some sites and check out the people.


IF it IS lots of older people, you can still live there but it may mean no all night parties and IF you were to bring lots of men or friends home, it could cause problems.





At 23 your obviously ready to move out so do it! But if your worried about bills then defo do a flatshare. Not all flatshares are wild party houses, in fact I looked into some very proffessional houses and these can be young people to!


when I was working (full time carer at the moment) I worked hard and did NOT want to be kept up all night and that was at 23! My sister is 19 and lives in a non student house where everyone works full time.





Just to give you an example of bills so you can write down what you can afford, here's mine.


Total price given but everything is split between two.


rent is 拢300 per person


Council tax 拢109 per month


Gas 拢10 a month in summer 拢20 in winter


Elec 拢20 -拢30 pre pay metre a month


Water 拢15 a month


Tv licence 拢12 per month


Contents insurance 拢20 a month


Bt Landline 拢15 - 拢20 per month


Internet 拢7.50 per month


Then you have food and what not but the above are the basics for houshold stuff.





Hope that helps.


have a look on the gumtree.co.uk to look for rents in your area, then work out your budget! You could be moved out in a few months!23 y/o single female housing advice needed?
Only a 1000 a month, first off you need to be working on getting a better job or at least a 2nd job. 1000.00 a month just is not going to cut it.





Never move in with some one just because you do not have the money to do it by your self. It will not work and you both will be stuck
You'd be best to rent a small flat or just a room. People are often looking for a lodger. That might be the best for you. You'd still be living with a family, but you'd get a bit more space and less nagging.
do not let anyone make you feel 'low' about yourself, you are what you are, you are working and have a full time job, be proud of yourself you are one of the few in this day and age not 'sponging' on society so you deserve a bit of help. find yourself a small bedsit, if you cannot afford the full rent apply for housing benefit. do not worry that you do not have a boyfriend or partner, if its meant it will happen, deal with this housing first. static mobile homes are a good idea, they are not all owned by people who are later in years, its another option for you and you will not have to pay council tax on this type of property. i wish you well.
Depends where you live I suppose.





I'm 26 and single and have always lived on my own, mainly cause I can't stand people for long periods of time. I live in a one bedroom flat but it takes some looking after. I pay 320 a month, no bills included, no central heating, big spiders in the bathroom, but I love it.





I would never give up this flat if I could afford it but at the moment it looks like I'm gonna have to house share 'cause I'm back in education and got 'released' from my job.





If you can, get a flat, or similar, you won't regret it.
