Sup guys,
First time posting here, so please advise if I need to correct anything.
Posting here because we’re all like minded, so hoping to get some advice! Hopefully this can help some others out that are also in a similar
situation as I am. I’m sure there are plenty of us here.
I’m looking to move out of my parents house soon. For context, I am 28 y/o, living
in southern Ontario, Canada.
Regarding my work, I have lots of working experience over MANY different industries. I even have a business that I created for AirBnB property
management (have not operated since covid started, but it does EXIST).
Currently, I work at a call centre that pays about 48k before tax. It’s a contract position that only lasts a year, starting August 9th 2021. If
this one doesn’t work out, I do have another call centre job that pays minimum wage, that would take me back in a heartbeat (full-time).
Currently, I have about 10k saved up in the bank with zero debt. I’m looking to move out, preferably somewhere in Ontario so that I can still
be somewhat close to my parents. They are getting older, and god knows what the future holds so I am trying to stay kinda close in case # hits the fan
and we need to help support each other.
I am currently looking for rent on kijiji and FB marketplace. I am looking for somewhere more rural (like barrie, port Perry, Wasaga, Tiny, etc etc
etc….). I am also looking for an entire place to myself, as apposed to sharing and/or living in an apartment building with other people. Reason
being, is I want privacy and I don’t want to be harassed because I don’t have the vaccine/don’t wear masks hahaha. I just want somewhere rural,
where I can put my head down, turn off the covid # and just grind.
This is likely going to cost around $2000-2300 for the place alone. The rest of my budget will be eaten up by other things like food, gas, phone bill
etc. So I will not be saving anything, as it will likely cost me every penny just to live! #in’ Ontario man hahaha, prices are nuts here….
Another option I have been entertaining has been buying land and getting a tiny home or RV. A combination of all three, or maybe just an RV and pay
rent to plop it somewhere. I understand this CAN be pricey, but Im sure there are cheaper ways as well, like everything else in life.
So that’s pretty much my situation. I would love to move out by Oct 1st, maybe even September if possible. I can live extremely frugal, I don’t
really need much besides internet and food.
Wondering if anyone else in a similar situation and trying to figure out how to get out on their own? In a pricey area like Ontario?
Appreciate you taking the time to read this! Just looking for some extra opinions and perspective to give me more to ponder over.
THANKS.
