I'm really excited about this.

I've made my decision and as soon as me and a buddy are able to find an appartment, im moving out of the family nest. At 20, i feel it is about time for me to spread my wings and live independently. I still have a few insecurities though. For instance, getting along with paying all the extra bills. I currently only have about 1.5k as support funds and a steady job able to bring in about 600$ per week. Is that enough to support myself considering we are looking for places around the 250-300/month rent? How much can i expect to spend on food every month ? I realize im going to be running on lower income but i would still like to conserve a certain quality of life.

I guess im just looking for some insight to appartment life. Those of you who have been there, what have you learned that proved to be valuable knowledge?
