Moving out but not enough money for your own apartment, what should I do?

Question

I'm 24 and still live with my parents. My siblings (both older and younger) also live at home.

I always thought that was pretty cool; you were never alone and I felt comfortable.

I now believe that it would be good for me to move out for various reasons… for more independence, personal freedom, because of conflicts, simply for my personal development…

But I have to honestly say that, even though I earn a decent living, I can't afford my own apartment in the city. Unless it's a one-room student apartment… <- I don't want that. Two rooms, a window, and a "standard" kitchen, plus, ideally, a parking space, are what I'm looking for. Is that too much?

Moving into a shared apartment is also out of the question for me, as I want to avoid conflicts with other people and need to learn to organize myself.

Do you have any tips?

Sure you can have wishes, but reality looks different. You alone don't need more than a 1-room apartment. You can't afford that.
Know your budget for an apartment (not higher than 30 percent of the monthly net income) and then look for an apartment on the market within your budget.

if your arrival is not enough for your desired apartment, then you need to screw down your claims or just wait until something cheaper becomes free.

You could live for the sub-rent or in such a two-person shared apartment, where the main renter or owner is a person who does not tend to conflict with you and gives you the opportunity to develop your selfishness, so does not interfere.

There is only: claims to screw down - smaller apartment, less central location, etc. And: look longer. You have the advantage of not having a real time pressure.

I was faced with the same problem. I've been looking for a long time and finally found something on a really small village, but with connection to the city by a small railway line. The natural location came to me and the apartment was affordable.

Well,

You chose a really bad time to become independent.

The costs in all areas are really high.

Rent is almost unpaid in many areas, electricity, water, heating, fuel… And all this is massively exploded…

And finally the good old food has become really expensive.

Only idea: Go to the covenant. There you have a room that you may have to share with only one, there is something to eat and the other costs are also good to live with your salary. You'll learn how to organize yourself.

As a soldier to get an apartment should also be easier than as a student. The cliché of students is: they never have enough money. Soldiers, on the other hand, have a fixed income for years and are hardly at home.

Apart from that, one deserves well with the federal government and can also make various trainings and driving licenses there.

Tip would be to get out of town or to a smaller town. It does not always have to be Frankfurt, Berlin, Cologne and Co. Gives much more pleasant place, cheaper, more nature, less traffic jam, less noise.
