So I need some help NT. And I have tried beinghere for my brethren as much as I can and now I call on you. I am soongoing to college in town but choose not to live in my home anymore due toissues within the family. I currently have a well paying job working about 30or so hours a week. My college is payed for due to grants scholarships etc soshe isn’t paying that nor am I. I constantly buy kicks so that sets me back buteh what can you do? I buy them now so when I make my move to get on with life Ican have shoes that will sit and be items Ill love more when I am older. Myfriend offered me to live with her for only the cost of utilities, and itd onlybe around $270 a month. Without kicks its not that bad, considering ill only bepaying that plus car insurance while my mom covers the phone bill. Food iscovered by my girl who hooks it up constantly. Mom told me I can do it, but shewould much rather me stay at home for a year or two. She asked what could I gainfrom this? I said freedom and the ability to prove I am my own person that canhandle myself like an adult. She still advises against it, but I am going forit. I ask, have any of you been on your own paying your own way for livingsince you graduated? If so was it difficult and how did you manage? I knowtheres a lot of hard working dudes on here and am just looking for an opinion. DoI do it? Will it benefit me or is living at home under others rules as analmost grown dude a good idea? Any voice besides negative is appreciated.
