A big step Ema. Let me tell you from experience with my two who have grown up and moved out on their own. You have to put something aside. No matter how painful it is, you have to pull money out of your check and put it aside. Otherwise, I can guarantee you that you will be asking mom for help or possibly even moving back in. Both are something you dont want. With that aside, I hope the very best for you and wish you luck. I know how exciting it is to get your own place. Have fun.
