Moving out for the first time feels like a huge step — exciting, freeing, and a bit scary all at once. Most people plan for the rent, but it’s everything else that catches you out. Those extra costs add up quickly, especially when no one really talks about them beforehand.
In this episode of Bank of Dad, Kate brings the real-life questions about moving out, and Pete helps break down what you actually need to budget for. We talk honestly about the hidden and forgotten costs, so you can feel better prepared and avoid nasty surprises.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The upfront costs most people forget to plan for
- Ongoing bills that come with having your own place
- Why “little extras” quickly add up
- How to budget realistically before you move
