Planning to move out at the age of 18 with best friend? We live in Canada? PLEASE HELP?! 10 points?
My friend and I are 15 years old. And we’re planning to move out when we graduate from high school. I’m planning on doing grade 13 so I could have more experience for university. I’m hoping my future career will be as a teacher. We’re not moving out for the fun of it, but to learn responsibility, and have a place of our own. We’ve decided to move into a small apartment somewhere in Southern Ontario.
What is the legal age to move out?
Do you need to have your parents sign permission forms?
How much money do you recommend we have saved to buy the apartment, food, electricity, ect.?
Would you move out at such a young age? Or wait?
Please include all the information you can to help us 
We rather not discuss this with our parents yet, until we’re completely sure this is what we want to do.
Thank you so much! God Bless.
I also moved out at 17, I needed to be away from my family’s acute dysfunction. I worked part time jobs and pursued a university degree in education to become a teacher. It was hard, working and going to school at the same time and I graduated later as a result and with some student loan debt.
I don’t regret moving out, however, if I had had a safe, stable home, I would have not been so keen to be on my own. When you are starting out, it is incredibly helpful to not have to pay rent, utilities, and the like. The money you save really adds up.
Good luck on your journey, and whatever you decide to do, keep positive lines of communication open with your family so if your moving does not work out, you still have a place to call home.
