Moving out of my parents home

[Blordow]

Okay, so last year my parents went on their honeymoon to New Zealand, they loved it and when they came back they talked about living there. A year passed and we are living in New Zealand, originally from Australia. I said I would try it out for a year but after being here for 3 weeks, stuck with my parents, knowing absolutely no one, none of our stuff had arrived from Australia 'till today. So with that being said I asked for their permission to fly back, just me and my 17 year old brother (I am 18). I really don't like New Zealand, but with that being said I didn't really give it a good chance, but the accent and constant overcast/cold weather put me off completely, as well as getting irritated by your parents as normal people would agree on. Don't get me wrong I love my parents, but they piss me off a lot.

So now that I have the airplane tickets to go back to Australia, I have to start my independent life, blah blah blaahhahhfagfds

I'd just like to know if moving out of your parents house and into another without their financial support, etc. is easy enough to do. Especially if we living in separate countries (only a 3 hour flight though).

Should I just stop worrying and live a life? I am most probably going to rent out a house with a couple of friends, as well as living with my brother.

I've relied on my parents for 18 years so I guess I am just a bit worried. I have other relatives in Australia who would help out if I needed help.

Would appreciate tips from all you people who live independently.

I am stressssssssed out maaan

If you have a job that pays well it's easy. If you don't, I suggest moving back in with your parents until you've saved up enough money to pay your own rent for an entire year.

What were youre parents thinking moving to NZ? all there is there is wine, a volcano, bad accents and a set from fellowship of the ring.

You'll be fine, are you still in touch whith anyone in australia?

Oh, and I forgot to mention, if rent eats up more than 1/4 of your paycheck, don't move out until you get a higher paying job.

Yeah, I keep in touch with my mates via msn. Most of my good buddies are willing to move in with me. My grandparents really look after us too, they are like my 2nd parents to me.

Yeah, it sucks. It'll suck leaving my parents too, and my two little dogs. Oh well, gotta try these things.
