    man you’re good. There are plenty of people in their 20s making good bread with a nice car living with their parents. You aren’t alone, enjoy your success

    I hope I’m not being trolled lol

    nah im being fr

    I guess another thing is it’s weird when a lot of my friends are already married or already live on their own. Granted, they are barely getting by and I make a lot more than them. My little monkey brain feels like I’m subconsciously seen as a loser for being one of the last living at home

    Ok I see where your doubts are coming from. That barely getting by part is key. My parents divorced when I was young, so I try to have a long term view on career / family - both my existing and God willing a future one too.

    Don’t rush into things. If you issues co existing with your parents then I’d suggest renting earlier.

    Marriages can present a false sense of maturity. Your married friends will always be throwin you women as double dates because they’ll want you to get set up & married like em too

    If I was OP making that much I would move out but just live like I have lower income

    Like I make 90k but live like I make 40-50k

    It’s nothing like having your own space you can fully be yourself

    this is literally the most loser thing i could possibly say, but i don’t really care for s***and would rather wait until im married or in a committed relationship

    this seems like the obvious move, but i couldn’t do it

    i don’t want to live pay check to pay check, but I also don’t want to live too far below my mean’s because as vain as it sounds, my home has to be very aesthetically pleasing and up to a certain standard for my own enjoyment

    females don't care tbh they're a lot more understanding if you at least got ambition to move out later

    do you regret it in the long run?

    Not really, tho i blew thru all my savings pretty fast, but i was living by myself and paying around 1k a month in rent and i didn’t have to do that.

    in a weird place

    turned 23 two months ago. I just got a job where I make an ok living in in Dallas. I can afford to move out on my own. I have no debt. I helped my parents pay our house off a bit ago so I’m not bumming. I pay for my food, my family’s cell phone bill, and anout $500 in car payment (includes insurance). I planned on moving out to downtown dallas about 20 min from my house. I get along great with my parents and don’t have any issues. There are times where I can feel like I have no space though. I also feel like it’s frowned upon. Another thing is I always fear dating will be a struggle telling them I’m 23 and still live at home. On the other hand, I could aggressively invest and travel with the income and stay here. Very conflicted. what would you do

    there's no need to rent a place in a big city apart from parents. most of my friends from the largest city in the country were living with their parents well in their mid 20s just bc its a waste of money to rent apart. keep living with your family long as you dont drive each other crazy and youre contributing to their apt. stack up and then get your own place

    people tried to make it a big thing to move out so you can 'become an adult' a few years ago. in truth it bit hella people in the ass (myself included) and long as everyone's fine with the arrangement just enjoy it while you can. living on your own is inevitable but it sucks nonetheless so enjoy cuz you'll miss it

    If you are able to afford please move out
    Cant tell you how much i’ve grown as a person since i did

  • Jul 27, 2022

    Deep down it seems like u already want to move out

    But I honestly think you should just stack ur bread and wait. No point in trying to live a certain way just to impress ppl in this economy rn

    I live in one right now and it's the life lemme tell you.

    Walk out the door to bars, concert venues, restaurants, and shops minutes away. Always have friends swinging by to watch sports games, rooftop lounge area to grill and pregame on. If you're young and financially stable it's definitely the way to live for the first chunk of adulthood.

    Stay Healthy

    You don't need other ppl making this choice for you.

    List your priorities in life on paper and make a strategic call to serve the top of the list. Don't make a list that somebody else wants you to make, this is your life.

    It's fine if eating at all the top ice cream spots in the world is number one, do you.

    Consider this decisions impact on your mental more than its financial impact. There is nothing more embarrassing in the long run than making personal decisions on the behalf of strangers.

    Most ppl dream of being in your position

    good point. honestly don't listen to anyone that doesn't have your best interest in mind, not even your family sometimes

    i honestly don’t know lol

    I had a job in university where I made like 20/hr working from home part time. I got about 3k worth of RSU’s. Same job paid for my tuition and my financial aid grants paid for my housing and food which is how I came out with no debt so I just stacked what I made in the 3 years I was in school. I also had a clothing business for a few months that netted about 4k total in a few months. Aside from that, I’d flip sneakers or random things here and there. Profit would be $20 to the highest which was an art piece I resold for like 4k profit one time. After that, I moved back home and my first job out of college at 22 paid 70k.

    yall young dudes leave ppl no chances for real

    that’s the thing. I know what my life is like at home, but I don’t know what it’ll be outside of that. I picture myself in these scenarios where moving out will magically push me to make more friends bc I have a place to hang at or improve my dating life. As embarrassing as it sounds, those are really the only motivating factors.

    You should move if you want to grow. if you're good with finances and can keep stacking then there should be no issue. you don't want to be 50 and wish you had more life experiences when you were younger
