I am currently sixteen and a half. I’ve finally reached the point where I’m no longer satisfied with living at home.

My father is in the military and we are being stationed in Germany for three years. When I turn eighteen I cannot live on base with them, so I will have to come back to the states. My parents will help pay for college, and all other expenses are my responsibility. If I do not manage to find a family member to stay with or cannot find a roommate, I need to know what to do.

In my Personal Finance class I learned about credit cards (how one should not using them), savings, and budgeting. The problem I am having is that I am not quite sure what I will have to use my money on. I know the basics: rent, utilities, bills, food, gas money, etc. In other words, I’m simply not sure where to start. I can get a job and save. I just need some tips on this moving out thing.
If it is of importance, I’m not a very materialistic person, this I am not the kind of person to blow money on pointless things. As long as I have the necessities I am fine.

You should consider thr military yourself. Maybe the U.S. Coastguard.
