How much money should I save before moving to a different state?
grlnxtdoor asked:
I am 18 years old and currently living in Indiana with my mom and her boyfriend. My boyfriend lived in Wisconsin and so I was planning on moving to Milwaukee with him and eventually going to school there. We’ll both be moving into the city without jobs right away but should have one within a month.

I currently have bills that total to about 400 dollars a month.
As far as moving expenses, there will be none other than gas as I will be having family help me move everything.
What do you think would be an appropriate amount of money to be saved considering the circumstances?
We’ll be moving into an apartment. Probably around 700 dollars a month with partial utilities included.

You will need at least first, last months rent and maybe enough for a security deposit. That could be anywhere from 1400 to 2100 dollars. Turning on your utilities usually has a charge as well so save about a 100 for that. I would also suggest saving the 400 that you will need to your already existing bills plus another 200 for food and miscellaneous items. I am assuming that your boyfriend will split the apartment costs with you evenly so you need $1,100 each for the apartment and an additional $600 on your part for your food and outstanding bills. I would aim for about $2000 in case it takes longer to find a job or at least so you can guarantee paying your second month of rent if you had just gotten a job when rent was due. Good Luck!
