When I moved out my parents house my depression went lower

I’m 22, I just moved out. I save 25% of my income. Feels amazing.

At 22 I left home and my life got much better, honestly the best time to leave is if you’re done school and working making solid income, flap your wings and fly. Leaving home doesn’t mean you don’t see the family again, it changes the whole dynamic and the entire routine day to day.

You don't want to be a mooch, however, living with parents can be a huge financial jumpstart for young people. Pay your fair share, but try to build as big of a cash pile as possible and develop discipline before you move out, you'll have a huge advantage.

I feel like for myself I need to leave. Its called growing up I don't feel like life is always great there are ups and downs you gotta learn sometime .

[melissaify]

staying home if you have a good relationship with family can be a great kickstarter. I stayed and saved over 30k in 2 years. I paid all of my expenses, contributed by picking up the phone, electric bill and some groceries here and there; which (in comparison to $1100-1300 rent where I live) is easy to budget for. I was pretty much able to put away one paycheck in savings and use the other for bills and expenses every month. I also used this time to over pay on my student loan

I feel like the faster you accept responsibility is the faster you become an adult no matter what age you are. I swear I became the most happy when I became self sufficient. There’s nothing more fulfilling then listening to your self and supporting yourself. I recently just did a video on the same topic pretty sure y’all will like it. Much love ❤️

There's a BIG difference between a 40 year old living in his mom's basement playing video games all day doing nothing, & a recent college grade, or someone older who just doesn't make enough to get a place of their own, but they work, pay their own bills, help around the house, etc.

"I want you to have 3 to 6 months worth of expenses".
Corona Virus: LOL

[karenhardie]

Dave is right. Kids grow up and feel different when they are supporting themselves. It's called growing up and not mooching off parents.

[richardramfire]

My advice as a mid 40’s man. Stay home for awhile but save 50% or more of your income. Don’t blow all your money. Bank it then make a move

[Palangga]

I am 26, works as an elementary school teacher. And i am still living with my parents🙁

[tashawilliams]

I'm so ready to get out it ain't even funny.

[TheFactorySeven]

I started home until I was 31. I always contributed to the house, but I saved almost $200, 000. Because I did this my business has skyrocket and I can live wherever I want

[daltondunn]

I'm 21, debt free besides my house. Moved out when I was 18 and I'm glad I did.

[Luke-zjeo]

You know this man is humble when he says "better than i deserve" to how are you

[KManHU]

Matie stay at home at 21 and keep saving really REALLY hard rice and beans no fancy restaurants no car leasing etc by the time you are 25 you will be financially independent and you can start a decent life! Good luck

Being 19 now I can confidently say i wish i wasn't such a knucklehead 2 years ago, if you're a 15 or 16 year old reading this and you're wondering what the best thing to do is, get a job now it doesn't even have to be a great one, washing dishes, stocking shelves or really anything, if you just subside off of mostly food from home and are able to control your spending habits unlike I was you can be sitting on 40, 000 $ in 2 years, looking back on it I really wish I would've taken this approach, once you start stacking up piles of 20$ it gets addicting to save your money

[thelifeofnicx]

After graduating college I never moved back home. I actually planned to but I just never did. I was still able to save 20k one year after graduation and keep up with my finances.
The trick was I lived below my means. I didn’t live at home but I did have roommates and my rent was never over $600 a month.

I clicked on this video and this kid just told my exact situation. 21, lawn care business, about 30-40k a year, still livin at home
