Hi, I’m a 24F with $78k saved. I make $2900/month and live with my parents, which has helped me save a lot while starting my career. Rent in my area is about $1000 for a 1-bedroom apartment, and I’m worried I won’t be able to save as much if I move out.
I’m torn between:
- Staying with my parents for a little longer to save more money and build a stronger financial foundation (such as for a house or retirement).
- Moving out for independence, but I’m concerned I’ll be stretching my finances too thin with rent, bills, and other living expenses.
My goal is to be financially secure and make the right decision for my future. Should I prioritize saving and keep living with my parents, or is it time to take the leap and live on my own?
Looking for any advice or experience from those who have been in a similar position. Thanks!
