Move out to move in with...?

I don't think anyone should be allowed to live at home once they've graduated, so yes, I think you need to move out. Moving straight in with a boyfriend might not be the wisest thing, it really depends on how mature you and the boyfriend are. But one other thing to think about is food expenses on top of the $300 a month. You will easily spend $100 a week on food alone.

I am of the firm belief that everyone should live alone for a couple of years. That means no boyfriend staying at your place all the time. When you have lived alone you learn to depend on yourself. My wife is able to go away with or without kids and know that everything will run fine while she is gone. I am able to enjoy being left alone for a couple of weeks each year while she goes to visit her family with the kids. Actually I like being home alone occasionally, it's amazing how much I can get done around the house.

So yes, move out on your own but make sure you have someplace to go back to if it doesn't work out. Of course I still think it would have been nice to stay home longer and save some money.
