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…

    Never felt guilty relying on my parents becuase I didn’t choose to exist. Definitely felt pissed they didn’t help me out. Just kinda floundered up till now. Get a job, look for a better one, look for a better one, don’t get or cause pregnant until it makes sense (it doesn’t ever need to be the goal). Accept you will never be above the water line because 10 assholes own all the worlds’ money.
