Well where to start lol. Well it seems that after recent developments (nice way to put it) I am going to need to move out by about the end of June. Yeah great I know....... But here is my problem and since this is the gripes section my b!tching. Well I have spent quite a bit of money on a full turbo setup (still waiting for 90% of it to come in) and it basically comes down to that I will really need that cash here in the next month or two since I really dont have much other finances. I want to get some advice on what to do. I mean I really dont want to sell the stuff but I dont know if I really have a choice not to right now. Let me know what you fellas & ladies think cause I am stressing out big time right now.

In a way, it's good that you're getting your own place. When I first went on my own, I was in shock because for the first time in my life, I was alone but boy did I have fun! I threw parties all the time and always had people over every day of the week plus it was much easier for me to study for college when I was the only one living in my house. It's a great experince to live on your own, you'll be able to have girls over and not worry about what your parent say. Unfortunealy, you have to do whatever it takes even if it means selling your turbo but I would look around for a job first. I wish you the best and try to think of this as a postive experience.

I am trying to think happy thoughts. But it is such a pain that I finally had everything up and ready for the turbo stuff. Finally had everything purchased and then bam. I think it will be nice once I am out on my own but selling the turbo stuff kinda sucks big time 02.gif

when i moved out it was probably one of the greatest moments in my life

all kinds of things changed and i realized the "real world" i personally would wait to be a little more settled before you do save up at least one months rent in advance that way you have some security plus you will have time to finish your car and not have to worry about rent

Well its not that simple. Wish it was. Was basically told that I needed to be moved out by the end of June. So unless we get a blue moon or something the chances of affording the parts is slim to none. Hopefully someone will buy the stuff for atleast close to what I paid for it 02.gif

my advice is to find a place thats affordable. 400 and 500 a month can be a BIG difference, also anything to help ex. room mate, will help alot. around here you can get an apartment for 400 easy. mine is a 2 bedroom /w a nice garage for 400. find a roomie and thats only 200 + utilities. so 300 a month. no big deal. laugh.gif

don't worry too much, it'll take a good year (did for me) before your used to the whole on your own thing. I thought the whole time that i was used to it. but looking back on it you see things you didn't at the time. tongue.gif

Yeah may be able to. The impeding debt of this project will make it really hard to. If I can get the kit and stuff sold I should be able to manage for now. Hopefully I can sell it and start up again when and if I get the money again. It really sucks having everything planed out then bam. Everything is downhill. every place that I have looked requires a security deposit of one months rent. So I am figuring in two months I need to save atleast $1200 ish. The only way that will get done is by selling this stuff. The world hates me I swear :angry:

Its really not all that bad man. I lived in the dorms at school for 2 years now in my 3rd year I am living in an apartment. Its been rough yeah, but i didn't have a job for the firsr 5 months. If you can get a job you should be ok. Hopefully you won't have to sell your stuff. You will never get out of it what you put into it. Try to keep it if you can.
