When starting college, most teenagers will leave home in search for that great apartment or dorm leaving needs for cash to pay for living expenses, such as electricity, food, and other necessities needed for the apartment. One would also need a place close by for easy access and less distance to have to drive to get there. 
There are many different necessities that one would need for their apartment such as a phone, satellite, food, and clothing.  A cell-phone would have a monthly bill of about $39.99 a month for those who have a lot of people they need to get hold of or just talk to for the heck of it.  Having a satellite TV paying $52.00 a month, one would be able to watch those favorite shows or that favorite movie with a friend.  Of course one would need money for food for that everyday need and would probably spent about $350 a month for that necessity.  Clothing is a big part in a girl’s life and of course one would have to spend half of their paycheck on clothes.  O.K. maybe not that much but at least $300 a month.   Moving in to an apartment or dorm after highschool is a big responsibility for a person who has lived with their parents all of their life and one would have to pay for many additional living expenses to make their new home comfortable.  These expenses that are listed are some of the many expenses one would want for their new living quarters.
