well, if this were a federal bill, i'd describe its current state as still in some investigatory committee. meaning that there's no plan, per se, yet. i'm looking into it. i'll know how much uncle sam is taking from my check by this friday (or i should). and after i know that i'll know what kind of rent i can afford, and then where i can find places like that, etc. it's gonna be a process.
to answer your question, i feel like now would be a good time. school should not be quite as hard over the next year or so, and i'm getting kinda tired of being accountable to other people. i mean, if i feel like not coming home, that should just be up to me and i dont want to have to worry about calling someone or whatever. you know what i mean.
i always said i'd move out once i got a girlfriend. well i'm still pretty far from that, but this cant hurt that goal.
i know what situation you're talking about, and i figured that was it. also, i'm always of the personal opinion i'm not gonna date a guy if he is living at home. from the getgo. having his own home, to me, precedes datinginging.
also, the accountability to parentals in general? yeah. they're unfortunately NOT roommates.
haha, well i dont think i've come across any girls who've rejected me for living at home. so that really wasnt an immediate concern when i started thinking about this... but if lots of women out there are like you (and i hope they are, because you rock, obviously), then that will certainly be an important factor.
save your good jearbs, jib, as i'm not moved out yet! :p
i think i'm a fence-rider on this topic. on the one hand, living with the parents has a definite uncoolness factor. however, they can also provide valuable services such as cooking food for you and letting you live there for free. not having access to those things anymore (and having recently learned how long it takes to cook a good dinner, as well as reflecting upon how much money goes out the window to rent each month), i can say they are services well missed.
on the other hand, having a place to call your own (at least until the lease runs out) can be rather fulfilling in its own right. (again, until you realize the massive amounts of money going to some company that could have been going to equity in your house. sorry--can you tell that we're on the verge of buying/building a house and i seem to be harboring a bit of frustration toward the whole event?)
anyway! i hope you have fun looking at apartment options, and keep us posted!
i know what you mean about all the great things living with parents provides. and because i'm looking for a place on the other side of the city, i will be especially hard-pressed to avail myself of those services if/when i move
( ... )
oh, don't be too much of a pychologist on yourself :p change and struggle make you grow...they "build character!" (the hated words :p ) having time alone, really alone, will provide you with some valuable push and retrospection.
just be really glad your parents have allowed you to stay (have welcomed you) for so long. i think its a very good idea to cut the umbilical cord, but tell them thank you when you go.
