JBLoudG20 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'm in the same boat. My girlfriend's finishing up her Master's next year and depending on where she works is where we'll live. I still live at home, but I pay my parents a decent amount for rent. Oh hell no. If my parents charged me rent, I'd be out lickety split. Grawk: My parents let me do my thing, so I don't have a real problem with being home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I guess I could move out now, but that would mean no savings. I figure: I knwo my g/f (fiance in about 4 months) and I will be living together when she finishes her masters next may. I don't know where she is working yet. So I might as well wait so we can pick a place together. That leaves me with a year to kill to either a) get my own place, or save half my pay. Saving seems to make sense to me.I'm just bragging. I moved back in for the last year before I married, too. And for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 My parents and I get along a lot better from a distance Me, too. I joke about our family: basically, my one sister moved as far away as she could -- the other side of the world; my other sister moved as far away as she could, but stayed in the country -- California; I'm the only one who hasn't gone that route yet -- perhaps I should start training to be an astronaut?

Salt Peanuts Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I miss my FiOS 20/5 package (was consistently getting 18-19/5) I used to have at my apartment. I didn't think I'd notice, but the difference in speed (I have Comcast now) is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grawk: My parents let me do my thing, so I don't have a real problem with being home. It'll eventually come back to me, that and it's still cheaper than living out on my own. I like coming home to dinner. =t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark baguette Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Dude, 25, get out the house man! I got very, very close twice. I'm basically playing a game with myself; see how long I can hold out, and get a bunch of spending money/build up savings before moving out. I've been pretty good at the spending part, but need to ramp up the savings part. I'd like to get an apartment as close to work as possible, and maybe get rid of my car, but the price is unreal. Plus the one guy I had planned to room with two years ago already moved out, so I'd be paying 100%. I'd hardly be able to buy any music, and thats just not going to cut it. Hopefully I'll get another 10% raise at the job in January, and get a bit more of a cushion. They gave me a 10% raise after 3 months, which was this past January, and I'm told they pretty much always give out at least a cost-of-living raise that time of year.

Icarium Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 FiOS is for people who live on the east coast and don't have shit like that available. To be fair that kind of thing isn't widely available on the west coast either. They basically only do new built condo/apartment complexes and are an extremely small company that really could fold at any time, but I try not to think about that.
