What’s your honest advice for a young person struggling with rent, money, and finding a job, still relying on parents financially right now?
Not looking for “just work hard,” genuinely curious what actually got you through a phase like this, and how you dealt with the guilt of relying on parents at this age.
I just feel like I’m running behind something, not even sure what exactly, money, stability, proving something to myself, maybe all of it at once. Curious if anyone else has felt that and figured out what they were actually running from, or toward…


Yea the caveat is you have to enjoy being around your parents and can live with their rules.
I agree with you, some of the most fun I’ve had in my life was living with a bunch of roommates in college. There was always something interesting going on and it made our rent comically cheap.
