woohoo the time has come for this bird to fly his coop and move out of this institutional correction centre aka parents home.

although i just turned 38 (its okay im asian), i think im bout ready to live away from the folks cos they wont let me play my music loud. thats a good a reason as any.

who else here has moved out on their lonesome (or even with friends for that matter)? and to you guys, can you please offer me some advice or maybe hints/tips about the dangers/perks of this monumental occassion.

also peeps in melb, wheres a nice cheap area for 3 bedroom dwellings? (when i say cheap i dont mean doveton/melton cheap)

*cue theme to mary tyler moore show*

Mate you're about to take your first big step out into the real world :p

If you're like most guys and mum has done your washing, cooking, cleaning and ironing since you were born, you're in for a bit of a culture shock. Use the last few weeks you're at home to learn these things. If cooking really isn't your thing, invest in a toaster and/or jaffle iron.

If money is going to be a bit tight, find mates to move in with. Living on your own sounds cool, but when all the housework can only be done by one person (you), you stop doing it pretty quickly. That's when things get messy.

Aside from that, I dunno .. make sure you get some furniture too. When I first moved out it was into a three bedroom house as well - your furniture looks pretty impressive packed into your bedroom, but spread it out across an entire house and suddenly you realise how little furniture you have. And for the first six months you'll be thinking "where's the <insert random household item>, oh I don't have one. Have to go out and buy it."

Enjoy :D

haha thanks joel. everything that im dreading has been pretty much touched upon by you... washing, cleaning and... cooking?

thankfully i'm gonna share the place with 2 females... without wanting to sound chauvinistic... im gonna be living with 2 females. ;)
