Moving Out?!

I know right! Exciting stuff. I have lived with my parents all of my life, I'm currently 17 and in the last months I have been offered a place on a flat starting September of this year! I couldn't pass this up, I will be 18 a few months before I move out. Originally the plan was for me and two of my best girlie friends were going to get a flat, but last minute changes which are inevitable happened OF COURSE! Nothing ever goes as you plan it these days. BUT that is besides the point, I went to view the three bedroom flat today and tomorrow I shall go to view the 2 bedroom flat above it because unfortunately one girl has had to drop out because of financial complications. I knew I'd be moving out some day but I never thought that it would be this soon! In all honesty I feel ready, but I am so nervous to be self sufficient. It will be a good test, to see how well I can tame myself in the spending area. so I'm guessing that'll be my main concern for the next year or so (SO BLOODY EXCITED) In a way I am extremely lucky with the deal that is on offer, because where I live a deal that good is basically unheard of. The main reasons for me moving out are not to get away from my home or my parents, I love them and I love my home, but I want them to have their lives back, my sister will be moving out, and they've spent the last 20 years being parents to both me and my sister so I think they have earned it. Plus I'd also like to give them their freedom back. consequently I will be gaining a new level of freedom and responsibility, but Its something im welcoming with open arms. Some people think I'm being completely reckless and naive. But This topic had been discussed over and over, and I can afford it, I have thought of everything I possibly can, speaking to both my parents my friends parents and some of my mature friends who are living independently and I believe that This could work out! What makes it even better is I'll be above a bar, ten minutes from home, close to work and town... and pretty much everything I could want. I will admit it does seem somewhat too good to be true, but this flat isn't going to be swanky or expensive, literally just the bare essentials but that suits me just fine, as long as im clean fed and not cold I don't care :)
