Gosh darnit I missed this somehow! Hi Amy! Welcome! Its so nice to meet Fras's other half!
The idea alone of being away from everything and having a fresh start is so appealing! It was for me when I did a billion times, finally put though.
The roommate(s) is a great idea! Definetly takes the financial end of things a little easier to handle. I strongly agree with everyone as far as finances are concerned. Split things, its easier. No one pay for more than the other. My hubby and I split 50/50. We STILL have our own checking accounts.
Its a great idea and Im sure things will work out for you. You'll be fine no matter what. Youre also old enough no matter what the family says, youre doing what you feel is best for you. Amy, Im EXTREMELY close to my family and Ive made decisions in my life my parents were NOT happy about, but supported me and were there when it came out bad. They will ALWAYS look out for you no matter what. Thats what parents do.
Goodluck you guys and I wish you the very very best!:D
