Episode 6: Moving out of home and Saving money

At some point we all need to find our own place to live – whether that is by choice or it is forced upon us.

But how do you go from living with family to having your own home?

To find out more we spoke to Natasha from the Kirklees Citizens Advice & Law Centre to discuss available options and get some top tips for moving out.

Whether you’re going to university, want to move in with mates or at risk of being homeless – this is an essential listen.

 

A key part of having your own place is managing your money, and we have also invited Katie from Kirklees Citizens Advice & Law Centre give us all some tips on saving and managing our money.
