About 12 years ago. My mom converted my room the day I left. I asked her why she said she didn’t want me getting any ideas.

This isn't so much a math problem but a behavior. Like motivation and navigating feelings of independence. You got this!

I'd have a great year financially too if I was living with my parents.

Marriage with combined finances is awesome!! We're living the dream - haven't had debt for years, paid cash for our cars, paid-off house, money in the bank and investments - thanks to working together!!

I'm 30 and have my own house. My advice to him - stay with your parent's as long as you want. Who cares what people think.

It's great to see someone taking a step towards change and following their desire!

I'm confused...How is he saying he can't afford to live on his own when rent is 2K/mo and his take home is 6K..? He has 4K to pay for bills and groceries / transport (1K a week) and to save.

Move out and move to a different state/ area. You will not regret it! Living with your parents is debilitating you by staying in a safe zone. Even if you fall on your face you are still moving forward. You will feel so much stronger and be much more attractive to others instantly! I don’t even know you and have faith in your survival 😂

I think Jade is such an awesome addition to the Ramsey Show. I just really enjoy commentary and unique outlook while she still holds the tried and true Dave Ramsey principals.

It blows my mind just how expensive it is to live in NYC. Making a take home of $6k per month is honestly good money, but to find a decent place there and not spend more than a third of that income in rent is pretty tough.

Some people are able to pull off living at home when they get along with their parents. Culture matters, too! In Latino culture, you move out when you establish a stable relationship/marriage. In the United States 🇺🇸 parents expect their kids to move out at 18. To each their own.

This video needs to go viral. Guy making 80k with 40k saved not able to responsibly move out of parents home at 31 due to cost of living

[arfriedman]

Stay in your parents home as long as they let you. Save as much as you can and invest as much as you can.

My parents let us stay as long as we wanted and i was thankful. After college i paid rent to my parents. I eventually moved out.

Who cares what people think if you live with your parents for a bit longer.

[budgetingdaddyuk]

Best to move out wherever you are ready, both financially and mentally, especially with the ever increasing cost of living, rent etc.

I lived with my parents for a year working full time. I was blessed to have no bills and was able to save up for a down payment and buy a home at 21

[aThinkingChristian]

Buy a duplex and rent one side to offset the mortgage.

[VibingCat]

I didn't leave home until I was 32. Just make sure you're helping out and carrying your own weight.

The only criticism I always give these guys is the disconnect between what they think the rent prices are and what those prices actually are. “Can you get something for $1500?” No I can’t, there is none, unless I move to another city but that would entail quitting the job I am totally happy with right now and I do not want to leave that job just to look for a cheaper rent in another city. That’s a very unrealistic advice.

[dahliahart]

I see so many comments saying " I'm saving up, I just want to be ready" sounds like the kid that never jumps in the pool, just stands on the side phyching himself out.
