Asking Advice Is it a bad idea to quit my job and move into an airbnb before getting a new job? I don’t have a credit score yet and I currently live with my parents. I hate being here, I’m so depressed, and I just want to leave as soon as possible.

I have 20 thousand saved and I saw some airbnbs that are around 1500 or less for a month, with good reviews.

Asking Advice Am I being Impulsive for wanting to move out just to get a cat? (And is my plan realistic?)

4 Upvotes

I turned eighteen in August, and for a few years now I've been really wanting to get a cat. My stepdad is very allergic to cats unfortunately, and I've been really lonely as I find it hard to make friends. I am avidly searching for jobs & I'm currently being interviewed for one at a gas station. This is going to be challenging to manage with college, but I really want a cat and a place where I can have freedom.

I already have $1500 a month coming in from my reservation for living expenses (I'm indigenous) and with a job I'll be earning around $2500+ a month. I'm planning on saving up $15k+ before I plan to move out.

I just keep having this feeling that I'm being impulsive and silly about why I'm actually moving out. I'm going to miss being with my family most of the time, but at the same time I want freedom. And a cat.

I'm kind of figuring out how to move out on my own because my parents don't like when I bring up the topic, and my older brother hasn't moved out either, so I don't really have any personal input to see if my plan will actually work. Please comment your thoughts !

Asking Advice I am afraid to move out alone

4 Upvotes

I am 25 years old single man, doing a small decent career in SAP, currently living at my mom place not far away from customer site. I want to move back to the city where I did my studies and where a lot of my friends are. But I want to have a roommate, somewhat I know a bit and that I know is reliable.

First of all because rent are quite high atm and I don't need the place for my work and practically.

Secondly because I know I have depressive and borderline episodes and I don't want to live alone, espcially in winter.

My mom is a single veterinarian and keeps telling me that I can stay as long as I want and that is more financially responsible to stay but I start feeling that I want some place of my own like when I was in college. But at the same time I feel like I have no legitimacy to get my own place. I am single, always been, and I have no friends to have as roommate. I don't know what to do.

Asking Advice Is it spoilt that I feel guilty about my mother offering to buy me an apartment?

3 Upvotes

I’ve come from quite a well off background in terms of finances we’ve not had to worry about money so much throughout our lives as a family, at least on my mother’s end. She works a high paying job and supports us a lot. I am very grateful for this everyday.

I’ve been eager to move out for a while and be on my own but it’s near impossible to find a decent job nowadays that can pay for a whole apartment or flat for rent, even the cheapest options in my area aren’t ideal.

My mother has offered to buy me an apartment wherever I choose to live. I appreciate it a lot and I’m grateful for the background I have as I know not a lot of people have the same privileges I do and I offer help to friends who have financial issues where I can and just try and be self aware of my background. I am often quite insecure because of this because people accuse me of being posh and out of touch and even conservative (I’m a trans lesbian in case you need an answer on that last point take a guess where I stand lol).

I am grateful for the opportunities I have I just feel spoilt and kind of pathetic if I were to own a place of my own, even though I shouldn’t as it’s a nice thing my family wants to do for me.
