If everything works out in my favor, I will be moving out for the first time after the end of my contract with my new job. The contract is a full time position with a $1300 monthly stipend. I am clueless of all the expenses it will cost to move out. Let's say the house I will be moving out to will cost $1400 a month. I know that the basics I'll need to pay are gas, electricity, water, phone, and cable, but the average costs of them I am not sure of, take into account that I'll be splitting these expenses with my boyfriend. Secondly, I'll also need to know any other expenses and odds and ends that I'll need in order to move, supplies, furniture outside of a bed such as a couch and dinner table, pets (my cat, a snake, and rats), etc.

Additionally, I'm also planning on buying my first car more than likely used, and it's important to know how much moving out will cost in order to calculate how much I can spend on my first car.

Any advice or input is appreciated.
