OverviewTired of living with your parents? Starting university in another city? Think you're ready to move out of home and start life as an independent adult? Sam Koch had always dreamt of the day she would move out of home and into a place with her friends. But when the time finally arrived, the dream turned into a nightmare. She was constantly short of cash, her landlord ripped her off and she didn't get along with two of her flatmates. So at 22, Sam, recently finished uni and living back at home again, has been doing a bit of research and gathering the advice of her friends and family before her next attempt at moving out.
