They say you should have six months rent before you move out for the first time. I definitely didn't. I had enough to pay first/last and then was tight for a while..
(again before I was no pablo escobar or marlo from the wire I was very very small time before people start calling ducktales. At that age I thought only lames got jobs smh)
Sold drugs. Only difference between me and the other kids was I saved everything I had, while they blew it on weed/girls/sneakers/other dumb shyt. It was a very small place but all I needed was the internet and ps3. I don't do that anymore but I know plenty of legal nikkas who got jobs but sell they weed on the side. I think every black man need a side hustle.
I moved out at 17 with a lil less than 1000.
It was kinda last minute but I was moving with a roommate so I wasn't necessarily hurtin, and if it came down to it i could've sold my car for a cheaper one and ate off the excess for a while
Enough to pay a deposit/prorated rent on a place and buy some rice and yogurt. It was so long ago, I don't even remember the exact amount. You don't need a lot of money, but you need to be realistic about your financial status.
I moved back home just temporarily now but when I first moved out I was in debt $4000 but I moved into a co op building that you only pay 30% or you income in rent.
I don't remember how much money I had on me but I had money comin on a pretty consistent basis, buy for 1 sell for 2, you know, but I was only on my own for about a year before I joined the navy
