$2000 is after taxes. Although sometimes it’s a bit more a month. I’d probably have family help me move in. I would have to change my lifestyle if I move out. I do spend a lot now but I also save a lot. Knowing I won’t actually have the money will make it easier not to spend.
Honestly, I’m bringing all this up because I just found out my sister and her family are moving out of state and I’m worried about how stressed and sad it will make my mom. I want to be set and on my own years before she dies. Sorry if that’s morbid I’m just trying to plan ahead.
