I want to have my place and finally escape from the grasp pf my family. I'm so tired of the constant cold war moments we are having.

The problem is that I'm on my post-grad and my part-time job doesn't give the income I need to get my own place. I feel so restrainted!

Same here....I have to deal with roommates half the time. School just sucks and takes up too much of my time. I'd rather work full time right now and just move to wherever I want to. I don't have too much longer with school though and believe me I'm counting the days down.

it sucks big time

Speaking from experience, the only reason you are restrainted is because you want to be.

You are not ready to flap your wings and leave the nest. You are too afraid you will fall.

On that note, what's the name of that new movie? Are you going to see faliure to launch?

OR maybe he's being realistic & knows he doesn't make enough money right now to move



I feel your pain Mike, when I was in school it seemed to take forever to get out of the house w/ grad school & shit jobs keeping my income low. But you'll get there before you know it, just try to stay sane until you do.

It helps to always put the positive spin on it too - at least you have a place to live while things are so tight Some people don't even have that, so count the good shit & keep it moving

bullshit! I moved out years before I ever started going to college.

There is the Lifestyle we have grown accustomed to by living at home, and the lifestyle we can actually afford. Thinking one can just transend through to the same statious is foolish and leach like thinking. If it is time to move, you simply use the front door for what it was ment for, walking out it.

If you are waiting to make "enough money" in life to "move out" have a child or anything other then foolishness, you have a long wait because that day is not comming.

Well, if your advice sounded heart-felt, then maybe people would not repsond to you.

Your name calling colours you even more than your singular posts do. Sad.

hermie

can you ask them for some financial support? i have lived with my parents after having lived by myself for half a year. it was hell to come back home...

It's not a question of life-style! I'm the most spart man alive, acording to my friends.

MickG said:

BULLSHIT YOUR situation is not everyone's situation. In the area where I live, I would have had to rent a damn crackhouse to survive on what I was making @ the time so it would have been plain foolish to move until I made more $ to support myself AND feel safe where I lived - what's the point if you're scared to go home every night?

So consider, just for a moment, that everyone has different circumstances & what worked for you may not work for them for various reasons.

Well then, if that is the case, no need bitch about it on a website messageboard because it is a choice one has made. I Grew up in Boston mass where a good appartment will run your ass 1500 dollars a month. I managed. You have to find your own space if you really want your own place.

My point was don't be a pussy if you want to move out, you should. It is the only way anyone learns what it means to be on one's own.

MickG said:

You are so fucking annoying This is not about being a pussy. This is about making a choice to put it off for good reason - he can bitch about it on a website just as we all bitch/talk/whine about stuff on here. WTF is your point? That he should manage it just because YOU did? Who the fuck are you?

He'll get out on his own & he'll learn "what it means to be on one's own", but he doesn't have to do it today w/ a part time job & grad school hanging over his head. It's smart of him actually, IMO.

Shit, I put myself out. Me and my mom were about to go AT. IT. one night. I said to myself "Let me get outta here before I fight this bitch." So I called my co-worker and moved in with her, and when she moved out I signed the lease in my name. Problem solved.
Oh, wait this isn't about me. Sorry.

Christopher said:

Jealous?

CalhounSq said:

You only find me annoying because you know I am right. Who am I? At least I am a man that got out of his parental household. I spread my wings and I flew out of the nest.

I am NOT that "man" who puts all his money in the bank while letting my parents foot my bills. I am NOT that man that didn't end up saving money because I had a car I couldn't afford, buying crap I didn't need, just to make me feel like a man because I wimppered on a internet website that I have to be a man and get out of my parents house.

My point is, if someone is old enough, they should know how to use the door by now. The door opens, you walk out it, you think "where will I sleep tonight", and you find some place other then your childhood bed.

Oh Please, get off the tit.

Play nice please

Tom said:

Oh I think I am.

When I said "stop leaching" I wasn't insulting but reusing a common family statement.

I have nothing personal against anyone here.

It IS simply THE TRUTH.

Upon a age, you are suposed to use the door.

MickG said:

Sure, you know all about different cultures and shit cuz YOU are so learned. Yer full of yerself and you are presuming all of the way. Especially about thinking you are right. Yer not.

MickG said:

NO, you're annoying b/c you come on every thread w/ this holier than thou attitude as if you're so much more evolved than everyone else. That your way is THE way, that you're always right (as you've so graciously stated above) - THAT'S why you're annoying.

Yes, the door is meant to walk through it. And the brain is meant to use it. And thoughts are valuable (everyones, not just yours). Decisions are to be made. Sacrifices are to be made, comfort is a thing to consider - if he'd rather wait to make more $ & sacrifice his independence FOR NOW that's his choice. Who gives a shit if YOU don't think it's wise - maybe it's the wise thing for him to do & that's all that matters

I hate when people come w/ absolutes, no consideration of the individual & their circumstances. Your life is yours, his is his - quit shoving Nike slogans down his throat...

I have NO idea why we try to reach him, he is just here to wind us up.

MikeMatronik said:

trust me sweetie, i no how u feel. im looking for writing positions now that pay a little more money, i can't wait. i can pay off my cc and then i can physically be where i have always been.

MikeMatronik said:

hey i'm with you on that.

i'm stuck with my parents for a few months because i can't afford anywhere else while i am studying for my music exam. the city i live in (sydney) is so expensive.

MickG said:

dude, you're a chode.

If you want to get out you bad enough you will find a way....the need to do something to make you happier will give you the will and drive to do it. Keep your head up...things will get better.
