Casually Explained: Moving Out 

My favorite part of moving out is moving back in cuz you're broke

In many Asian cultures, you usually don’t move out till you’re married because being alive is too damn expensive

Nothing spikes a 17 year old’s anxiety like the countless people saying how far down they are about to fall

The most horrifying thing about growing up is that you never do. I always thought when I was 18 I would be older or more mature, but honestly I feel the same way that I was when I was 15 and I wasn't prepared for this at all. You don't just magically become an Adult, you get older and more experienced but that's it.

"... you have nothing to lose, except your self-esteem" Joke's on you, I can't lose what I never had

Money eliminates 90% of problems.

Why is life so expensive I'm not even having a good time

“Why are young people so anxious and depressed?”

More like Casually Depressed.

To all the high schoolers who get anxiety by just watching this, as I did back then: You will be fine. I promise. I know it feels like you're in no way ready for "adult things" and you feel like you can't move out until you magically become a different, more capable person, otherwise you'd just drown in the adult world. But that's not true. Even if you can't cook at all, have never done your own laundry, and super awkward and afraid - there is nothing magical and mysterious about life away from your parents. Some new chores come up that you'll manage, some old ones are no longer a concern, and you'll get through it being exactly who you are right now. You don't need to adult before moving out, you're inevitably going to adult as you move out. Don't worry so much.

The best advice my career and life management teacher ever gave was "live with your parents for as long as possible"

One first aspect of moving out: You’ll eat the weirdest things at the weirdest times.

Damn dude, I wish I knew about the golden rule of not telling people I'm a terrorist. That would've made life a whole lot easier.

"...until you start living off microwave noodles and Lucky Charms..." So, college then

A tip for young people: Be proactive in learning about adult life! For instance, I started joining my mom when she went grocery shopping, just to form a baseline understanding of what one might need to buy and how much things cost. Also ask your parents a lot of questions! I recently had quite a lengthy conversation with my parents about house loans and how expensive of a house I might be able to afford with X salary etc.

the absolute worst is meeting people the same age as you and they have incredible well paying jobs, their own beautiful home, a car, a great relationship, countless fun activities with others and you have to repress your tears at the thought of people like that existing or you might accidentally take your toaster with you for a swim the coming evening.

"If you're a terrorist don't say you are." Are you trying to tell us something

Me: I'm finally moving out this year 2020: He Ho Hey, Not today!

“Well technically it’s been 6 years and 8 months” Fuck me i am dead

"but three months later you'll be laying in the dark on an uncovered mattress at 3 am listening to your neighbors trying to save their marriage while wondering how long it would take for anyone to notice if you didn't wake up" damn that one caught me off guard, nearly had coffee fly out of my noise.

Finding someone to have kids with in the next 60 years is a bit ambitious don't you think?

Wow. Got kicked out with $8 during quarantine. That first part hit hard although a more accurate representation for getting kicked out in 2020 is being flung into a high speed freeway on a motorized scooter.

I've lived on my own for 2 years now, and I still can't cook. But I've upgraded my PC setup don't you worry

"living off of microwave noodles and lucky charms" wow look at mr millionaire over here being able to afford cereal

People used to call me a loser because I would sit in my moms basement playing World of Warcraft all day. But now they can't say shit because I got a job and now I rent out someone elses moms basement and still play World of Warcraft as much as I can.

I didn't experience any of this moving out at 18. Started working at 15, saved as much as I could and continued to work close to min. Wage jobs while going to school for 5 years. Growing up in an abusive family will motivate your a$$ to move out with fiscal responsibility an no regrets.

“The best roommate is your girlfriend, however it only applies if you have one” -My dad’s friend who owns 12 houses

_this is the price you pay for growing up_ It's funny because you make it look like a choice

“Wondering how long it would take for someone to notice if you didn’t wake up.” Damn that one hit hard

I just don’t wanna grow up man, that moment when you realize you are 18 and you are moving out when you just started getting flashbacks of your family having fun with you and realizing that you will never feel the same way

Moral of the story: Living is hard don't live

>"so the rent is in Canadian dollars, right" *_B I G G E S T O O F_*

Honestly though, as a college student i never felt more successful than when i had a full fridge at the apartment.

It's was scary for me to move out at first when I was 29, but it became happier that my parents don't control me all the time. No more curfews, nagging, or asking for permission to do anything. I moved out because I got a new job with much better pay in SF Bay Area. At first, I was living in someone's bedroom and the home owner was friendly at first. But things turned bad in a month and I started to search for my own apartment. After living in an apartment for a while, I faced a big rent increase and decided to look for a new apartment. At first, I looked at apartments, but then I decided to look at buying a house instead. I had just gotten married so I decided it would be a good time to buy a home anyways. In hindsight, I'm really glad I did buy a home. My home value skyrocketed in the last couple years that I lived in it. Doing laundry is really simple. You just put all your clothes into the washer and add a cup of detergent. Once it's done, just move the clothes to the dryer. After the dryer is done just take the clothes out and fold it all up. The washers and dryers are all automatic these days anyways, so just set to normal and forget it. Bills are really self explanatory. Most of them can be setup on autopay, so you can just set it and forget it. My wife, who is an accountant, does the taxes. But, all you have to do is just get Turbotax every year and just answer the questions. For bills that don't support autopay, I just put them into my Google calendar. Cooking isn't too hard either. Most foods have directions on them so you can just microwave it, boil it, or bake it in the oven. It's not much harder than making ramen in college anyways.

Lying on an uncovered mattress at 3 am wondering how long it would take for people to notice you didn’t wake up 😂😂😂 I felt that

This video was hilarious. I was laughing constantly throughout it until I noticed I was bawling uncontrollably in the fetal position on the floor.

Thought this would be enlightening considering I'm currently 18, it's not. It's depressing. In its entirety.

3:15 look closely at the beer I’m waiting for your “Casually Explained: How to Time Travel”

What? People actually move out? I'm planning to go lay down on the train tracks when I'm kicked out

3:39 Nothing more real than that calendar

"You can start looking at places in the most expensive parts of town and then gradually lowering your standards as you come to grips with reality"

I am 30 yo. I spent the last 13 years dealing with depression and anxiety, even going as far as doing ECTs. now my medicine makes me stable but I lost a decade of my life and the only experience I have with making money was through my cover bands, since music kinda kept me alive. now I know no one is interested in hiring a grown-ass depressed adult with no experience outside the stage. my only hope is my solo album. recording guitars, vocals, bass and drums by myself was neat but I need this to be better than "neat" if I want to make a living, the pressure is like in the Mariana's Trench

My parents kicked me out after i got into a fist fight with my dad. Good times

Step 1: Invent time machine so that you can go back to when it was possible to buy a house and support a family on $14/hr with a job that you got by physically walking into a random store and asking for a handshake with the boss 2: Move out

Well back to waiting another two months for a new video

"all your stuff, as in your computer" i feel attacked

"Live, laugh, leave" always gets me

Having a mom that would cook at home constantly and do all the laundry and then you leave it and you're like oh dang. I totally took that for granted.

I live alone and often think about how long it would take for people to find my body if I died 😂

Watching your videos always brings a smile to my face, and makes me feel like i’m not alone in the way that life has been workin for me so far. Thanks for the humor and honesty. Really helping me get through the rough patches

26 year old me doesn’t like this.. i wanna go back.. Don’t grow up kids for the love of GOD

Wow, an *_upload!_* 2 months later lol

That part about 3 months later sleeping on an uncovered matress at 3am hit like a truck

I love how everyone is sharing their stories. We’re all different, but in the same boat. I have love for everyone here for that. There is more wisdom in this comment section than in most schools these days.

That self-sabotage part of living alone part really hit home :) I’m currently binging RU-vid as a mean to avoid real life crisis

"Dont worry we all regret it " hit me too much that i wanna dying right now

*This is easily one of the best channels on RU-vid*

Everyone's experience is different. It hasn't been easy, but It hasn't been that bad. I was kinda forced into homelessness, and eventually my own apartment after the death of my parents. It's scary, but you can't let it get you down. It has been six years on my own, and I'm pretty happy. It doesn't have to be depressing or anxiety inducing. Living on your own is tough, but that's life. You make the best of it, organize your life, and live responsibly and life won't have to be nearly as hard for you. It might even have a few bright spots along the way.

In my culture, young adults usually leave their parent's home when leaving school (college, technical degree or bachelorship/mastery/doc.). Many of my friends and family members are engaged and still live separately in their respectif parent's home, before moving out in the later year with a stable job, stable life, stable relationship and usually with plans about having kids and such. I personnally think that this way of life is much better. Most of Western's North american way of living for young adults is stunning, most of them living in near-poverty because ''hey, you are 18, you gotta leave now kiddo, bye', fend for yourself''. The excuse of ''it gives you autonomy and makes you taste real life and its dangers'' is bullshit. If you are responsible enough and active in life, the fact of living with your parents until you are 21-23 gives you plenty of time to taste that kind of life. The freedom to live in poverty is no freedom at all...

This is painful to anyone that still lives with their parents in their late 20's... It's like telling us that you have to climb Everest just to earn basic respect. At least that's how I see it in the US.

I live off lucky charms anyway, so nothing new there

Dont worry I’m at my 3rd apartment still alone but I’ve got shit under control (I found a kitten in the dumpster and kept her it’s been a year and everything is good now)

i was watching this in the kitchen and my mother laughed a lot and wanted me to show her your channel, so you now have me and my mother as new fans

age 40, made my own batcave ...still waiting for parents to move out.

Reference from your previous land lord? No problem, i'll ask my mom. Reference from your employer? No problem, i'll write it myself. How about your previous employer? No problem, i''ll ask my dad.

I love the positive spin you put on all your videos

As someone who plans on moving out as soon as im out of highschool *so like 1 year* this is AMAzing and so insightful

Glad to know there's so much to look forward to in life.

Abolutely love this channel

I had to do a video presentation for my quarantine class so I just used ms paint and ms video editor with my voice in the back using my phone and OMG it took 2 full days and it was only 3 minutes long. I can't believe you put all your time into this, my lazy ass admires you so much

2 years ago I watched this thinking of how it would feel to finally move out. Now I’m still at my parents

This hits so close to home except for the part about hearing the neighbors have sex since I just pass out because of the copious amounts of alcohol I consume because it turns out I have no self constraint when no one is watching.

Ah, I remember getting my first apartment. I lived by myself and actually managed to afford all of my rent, utilities, and other expenses. It was great until the crushing loneliness set in. After my second suicide attempt, however, my family coerced me into moving back in with them and now I don't have to pay rent at all. Happy endings do exist.

Honestly, after all the shit I went through after moving out, I still don't regret it. It's a decision that was so damn worth it

As someone who just moved out, alone, in a new part of town - the laying awake at three am part was way too real aye

"Videos every 2 weeks" Well, we always love Quality over quantity

The dark truth is living with the parents is actually optimal

You got me at your golden rule "If you'rr a terrorist, dont say you are" Absolutely brilliant

god this is so accurate. just got my own place and I'm gradually acquiring furniture. I'm so happy to finally get a mattress today that is bigger than a twin and has a box spring. #goals.

My mom said I don’t have to pay rent while I’m in college...I’ve changed my major 6 times so far.

lol love the Jordan Peterson 12 Rules for Life reference. "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up Your Room with Nietzschean Philosophy" on a lobster print book. beautiful.

this honestly depressive style feels just so wholesome

Why did this actually cheer me up and make me feel better about my complete lack of experience handling real world problems?

Fun fact, this got released right as my mom came screaming in to my room, to tell me to move out. Good weather were having today :)

Videos every two weeks Seems legit

Personally stayed with parents until I had enough for a down payment for my house. Sucked it up, saved. Was worth it in my case.

Hahaha I love it. Did you know that your ending music is the same starting music for Jolly? Both of my favorite channels!

When you move out you finally realize you had nothing important to do all along. Then you get a job you hate, and become a cog in a machine that serves people who were born financially stable. You quickly realize they're the "real" people of society, and you stare at them going about their day doing things they want to do, enjoying the sunshine, raising families...and wonder if you'll ever know what it's really like to be a real human.

Missed you casually explained!! xD

The part about only eating noodles and microwaved food everyday isn't true. I also eat rice.

I haven’t moved out yet but the part where two actual adults watch a young person try to write in cursive is pretty damn relatable

Or... you can skip all this and go into the army... This comment was brought to you by the army ...Somebody help me...

You dropped this the day I moved out haha!

This channel teaches me more about life than school

I like watching your vids because you keep it honest and real

"Live Laugh Leave" I'm fucking dying

Way too accurate

This made me strangely motivated and positive

Every video is gold.
