Are Your Really Ready Leaving Your Home?

I don’t want to make this sound too heavy—but moving out is a big deal; it is a huge step. I asked Alison for a list of questions that we might ask ourselves first. She broke the list into two parts.

Basic skills

• Can you cook?

• Have you ever shopped for groceries? Do you have any idea of the cost of food?

• Do you know how to operate a washing machine?

• Do you read labels so you know how to wash clothing? Clothes can cost a heap and wrecking yours in a washing machine or dryer won’t help.

• Do you pick up after yourself or do you leave that to whoever cleans your house?

• Can you budget?

• Have you been taught to handle money and save?

• Have you ever stayed alone in a house?

• Do you know when garbage night is at your house, or is that someone else’s problem? • Can you afford it?
