Hey,

So gladly I'll make you feel a lot better. I moved out at an even 30. I was (I think) making probably 67k. I had recently broken up so I was single, only had minimal expenses. I was (still am) a very introverted person so no clubs, drinking nights, or expensive expenditures for night life. Even with all of that I still had a ROUGH time getting a livable place to rent. I refused to live in like Camden or something just to say that I could be on my own. So I found an area near Princeton which was relatively cheaper.. It's farther away from where I grew up and where my parents are now, but it's at least doable for balancing income and expenses. Right now, I've gotten a few raises since then and I still struggle to make a decent profit per month.

I pay all utilities separately, phone bill, insurance, and some entertainment ammenties, like streaming services, audible, etc.

​

Hope this helps mate and good luck, and do NOT Feel about about living at home. It's a stigma that needs to die. There's no shame in living at home and trying to squrriel money away.

lol no way are you going to jail lol.. that's not even an option man unless you endangered someone physically. Just be honest, don't talk back, and if you have nothing else on your record you'll be fined.

NJIT alum here. Great school, not a great area, but the campus is pretty nice. Moderately active community. Rutgers may have a more lively student body. but I have my heart with NJIT so I'm biased. Hanging out in the campus center and library is fun, great gym facilities.

? How vague of a question can you make? It varies district to district, town to town. THis is like asking "How are human beings?" Narrow it down, what are 'good' for you? what area? what ages?
