Money-Saving Tips for Moving Out at 18
Here are a few basic ways to cut back on expenses during your first years of independence.
1. Don Your Chef’s Hat
Cooking your own meals on a daily basis can save you more money than just about any other change in your behavior. Knowing how to make five basic meals (say, chili, tacos, chicken and vegetables, spaghetti with marinara sauce, and a slow-cooked roast with veggies), and having a microwave handy for reheating leftovers, can cut your food expenses in half. An added bonus: Homemade food is almost always healthier than prepared meals.
2. Kill Some Kilowatt Hours
Get into the habit of turning off—or even unplugging—lights, appliances and electronics when you aren’t using them. And consider getting a programmable thermostat to keep heating and cooling costs down.
3. Quit Using Credit
Only carry one credit card, and commit to only using it in absolute emergencies. Using cash or a debit card for day-to-day expenses prevents you from overspending and accruing budget-busting interest charges.
4. Explore Other Avenues
Consider all your transportation options. Do you really need to drive everywhere, particularly if you have to pay for parking once you get there? And with Uber, Lyft, Car2Go and other ride-sharing services now widely available, city dwellers might even consider ditching their cars completely. The cheapest gallon of gas is the one you don’t use.
Things to Include in Your First Budget
Show Mom and Dad you know how to move out the smart way by creating a monthly budget and sticking to it. Here are some items you’ll probably want to include.
- Rent: most likely your largest single expense
- Utilities: electricity, gas, water, cable TV, internet, etc.
- Meals: supermarkets, restaurants, drive-thrus and delivery
- Transportation: flights, cab rides, fuel, auto insurance, vehicle registration, etc.
- Medical: prescription drugs, co-pays, etc.
- Entertainment: date nights, impromptu adventures, vacations
- Clothing and toiletries: new threads, soaps, shampoos, shaving cream, etc.
- Subscriptions and memberships: gym, magazines, online movie or music services
- Gifts: birthdays, weddings, baby showers and holidays
- Pet Care: annual checkups, flea medicine
You Need a Financial Cushion
A good rule of thumb you might’ve heard is, in the event of an emergency, everyone should have a financial cushion substantial enough to cover three- to six-months of living expenses. And while there’s no arguing the soundness of that advice, many people think that’s simply not possible and they don’t even bother trying.
But even if you don’t have half a year’s salary chilling in your bank account, having some money set aside is better than none. There are countless ways to work toward building an emergency savings account, from setting aside loose change at the end of every day and depositing it in the bank at the end of the month, to having a percentage of your paycheck automatically stashed away in your savings account. Many first-timers use the simple 50/20/30 rule of budgeting to ensure a balanced bank account. Start now, and even if you only save a few dollars a week, it will add up over time, and help you avoid financial hardship later on.
Learning how to make a budget isn’t the most exciting thing you’ll do when first moving out and living on your own, but it can mean the difference between just getting by and making the most of your money.
