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…
The West has propagandized relying on parents because it’s good for business. Staying with your parents is one less house they can sell, one less car, one less bedroom furniture set, etc.
You are defeating capitalist greed and helping the planet by utilizing less redundant resources like you would living seperately.
This is a deranged take from someone who doesn’t exist.
true, but i would still say that living with friends is better than living with parents, for mental health. at least if your parents are as shitty as my mother was.
there’s no shame in living with friends. in fact i think that we’d all be better off if we lived in 10+ people houses/apartments with people that we actually like.
