Being an """adult"""

Move out, you ass. I never missed or appreciated my own family more until I moved 2000 miles away from home. Now it's been about 6 months and I want to go back more than anything but I know what I want, and that's to make something better of myself.

I still struggle paycheck to paycheck and I lucked out having one good friend here so crippling loneliness isn't an issue, but life has been a lot more fulfilling since I left my dad's place, not to mention my relationship with him as well as my mom (who I'd neglected to talk to for a year, personal) has improved and become meaningful.

Stop being ignant. Take away what you take for granted and see how you feel then.

>>meant to save money, but combination of poor money management skills + having to pay rent makes me unable to move out

Please define exactly how having to pay rent to your father prevents you from moving out in the ''combination of poor money management skills + having to pay rent'' scenario.

Money that would've gone to savings instead is going to rent. Saving that money was the only advantage of living at home. Instead I'm paying rent to live somewhere I don't want to be.

So you honestly think it costs the same to live on your own as to live with your Dad? If you can't manage the finances of this situation, you will never make it on your own.

Start with a realistic budget. You will probably need a second job in order to move out. At one point I had three, it can be done.

I know it doesn't, but the idea is I'd be able to afford living out (I can) while having savings in case of emergencies. Rent has evaporated the latter. I'm still saving some money every month, but I really can't take living here anymore. It's holding me back as a person and it causes me a lot of stress.
