I just wanna remind everyone that many of these TikToks of people saying they’ve got a one-bed apartment / house as a new graduate either have rich parents, are faking the content, or are ESCORTING! Don’t let social media fool you into thinking you need to have all this money just after graduating!
As someone who graduated college in May this shit is so ass. Everyone on linkedin and handshake is hiring but take months to respond to applications. Thank god I got a position at the company I did my internship at because it’s actually been 5+ months of applying and barely hearing back from places
Yeah that’s why you never apply online. I just use those sites to look for jobs and then I personally go to the place in person. One of my old jobs literally at Popeyes told me they almost rarely look at online applications anyway.
@@okand9213 The problem with that is (at least where i am) employers will tell you to leave and go apply online. They won't accept in person applications.
@@Arianah192I’m having this problem as well. I was applying online, but no one was getting back to me. I would then go to them in person and then they would tell me to apply online. Idk what to do. Even when I explained this to them, they would just repeat to me that they don’t do in person applications.
There's no need to rush especially if you have a good healthy relationship with your parents not dictative not controlling you shouldn't rush if you don't have to wanting to move out and needing to move out is different
I would take advantage of that immediately if i had parents! I don't think people understand how lucky that situation is until they're without the option
What she said she got fired for attendance LMFAO pretty sure her adding the "conveniently" nod means she purposely got fired so she could get the benefits and not have to work in college
everyone’s experience is different! i would never judge anyone for moving back home. as long as it’s comfortable and their parents are supportive, live YOUR life. keep working and striving for better ❤
Last year I started looking for a summer job. I had no experience and it was going to be my first job. I spent all summer trying to find jobs because these basic fast food/retail jobs weren't responding. The interviews I did manage to get never contacted me afterwards ghosting me. Right when I was about to go back to school this one place called me and hired me, but then got mad because I couldn't work weekday's now that I was back in school. I eventually looked farther and managed to get an entry level job fairly quickly an hour away. All this to say is that something is wrong. It should not have taken me commuting an hour away to get a entry level high school/college 11.00$ job to secure one. One of my friends is having similar issues but she has 2 years of experience. Plus being promoted to an assistant manager and nobody calling her for these basic jobs either.
I will not shame a person living with their parents. World is brutal and economy is f*cked sideways. I just hope I make enough when I decide fo settle down and marry
I honestly get super confused. No matter how rich or how many properties, I enjoy being able to be with my parents. I'm not sure what kind of freaky stuff these people are up to but unless it's full on walking around naked all day or who knows what, utter confusion and honestly would not care to know. The fear that your parents are gonna hide to catch you with your dick out is one of the most insidious things I have heard a person say to me in my lifetime. This dude decided we were good friends and just divulged this to me randomly like we were sharing some kinda boyhood secret. Nope. I offered a call to 911, then dipped, never to talk to this idiot again.
I can’t count how many videos ive seen of people talking about how they are struggling with full time jobs and degrees.. when is it gonna be enough? Most of gen z is not able to move into a freaking studio apartment bc they cost around the same as a 1 bedroom depending on the city. That is extremely alarming. And lets not talk about jobs not hiring people even with experience.. i can’t stand part time jobs that expect you to have open availability all week. That defeats the purpose of having a part time like hello…
I’m working two jobs and I can’t afford a decent apartment, five years ago I was paying for a nice $700 a month apartment and now nothing is under $1500 😵💫😵💫
I just moved back in with my parents after living in my apartment for a year. I was part of this dwelling program because the area that I was in was TOO EXPENSIVE… well the apartment complex that I leased with decided to no longer be part of the program and now I’m back at my parents to save so more money.
@@belladonnarose5671 That's the way to be. I've honestly wondered if the parents truly are that horrible or what the issue is on people finding it cringe to live with their parents. Man my parents beat any room mate or even paid hotel situation hands down so meh.
I'm here for people giving advice and sharing their experience but my GOD everyone running to the socials can be so annoying. Obviously, I hope they are well but damn lol.
I really wish I had taken a gap year or two just to save and save and save. I did go to a two year college while staying home. WAY CHEAP! Sadly, my family isn’t rich either so as soon as I started working, my Mom borrowed money from me constantly. Even still today. Had three semesters of college to go before I dropped out. Too much money even with financial aid. Traveling now before I get my own place.
Damn, same with me dee. I had unemployment an financial aid. Though i had my boy look out on on a under the table job so i was still working 😂 You are 100% right about community college. That university shit is a scam. People don't realize a lot of the curriculum an classes are the same, same degrees an some of the teachers even work at both. You'd only have a handful of majors that are regulated to university. An even then all your other classes you can do at community College an just transfer after.
If he wins, I don’t think they’ll allow him to take it away I hope not because that means ppl will be forced to drop out, won’t be able to work and no jobs hiring without an higher education so it just will be a domino effect of bad things
Dee, i love you talking about your experiences and giving us advice!! I could watch other people talk about this but it just doesn't feel the same since you cut the shit 🤣 I'm 22 now, i've lived alone since i was 17 (parents passed) I had to drop out of college to start working nonstop. I just quit my job and have savings but have no idea what to do now 😩. You need to do a pod cast or something because the way you confidently talk and explain makes me so motivated idk 💙
One thing that'll always annoy me from older generations is that they don't under generation struggles because they had it good. Us young people don't live in the same times as boomer parents and grand parents. In their economy at the time they could afford housing and survive on single incomes with mid skills. Nowadays nobody can't afford houses and folks struggle with making overpriced rent. All that before we even get into healthcare, bills, and etc. You need two jobs to barely survive now
The fact that it’s such a big deal for people to move back in with their parents after college is crazy. Thats what you’re supposed to do. No way you think most ppl are supposed to go to college and then get a good paying job right out of college. It will take you a while to find a job. I moved back in for a year and I’m so thankful for that time because I got to save so much money. I know it’s not possible for everyone but I just wish it wasn’t such a big deal to do it. I thought the conversation would be about 30 year olds moving in with their parents. Now that’s a whole different topic but I still get why ppl are doing it.
Honestly im a young person around 24 on disability so i may never be able to financially move out you know unless i got a partner or something like my siblings did. But i work at a gym daycare center for now and have my own car for now. But its also because i dont want roomates at all if i did id rather be in a relationship with someone etc but thats just me. My other sibling is also on disability but she was able to move out only when she got a significant other.
Like Dee said, don't feel ashamed for having to move back home. There is no reason why people in this country spend sooooo much money to get these degrees and can't find a job and/or have a job and don't make enough to live a decent life. The system is really fucked up.
It is only recently getting jobs is hard. I've lived on my own since 21, and I am 32 and getting a job now can take months and that is just to get your rejection letter. That being said, though, I think people are also living outside their means too or aren't looking correctly. It's fine if you don't want to cut back or struggle a little, but the second girl was like literally I don't wanna look for another job, that is on you. To be fair, the job market in America is so shit it is almost like you feel hopeless and lost.
Want to be honest if you have parents who own a house and you can fall back home and stuff gets bad and you don't have a bad relationship with them. Count yourself lucky a lot of people including me and my family do not have an option some people only are renting and they do not have the option of going back home. And that's not me to say this is not hard trust me I understand rent is very expensive especially depending on the city you are in. And I'm not saying that You all cannot be out here complaining please complain if it's hard. But if you do have that option be happy that you can go home and rest your head knowing that you have a place to stay and people who will let you stay there even if you don't get along with them cuz like I said some people that's it they ain't got nothing else after that they're on the streets they're living out their car they're living in someone basement they're staying at buildings trying to live until they can save up enough to get place to live.
All 5 of our grown kids have moved back home after leaving the nest. We never charge them anything which allowed them to get back on their feet faster. 1 here now and we are retiring and the house is his😂❤
Left home at 18 to go to college, it depressed me and I wasn’t strong enough to stay so I left and my mom allowed me to move back home. I’m 28 now, and have a significant amount of debt. I’m paying it off as fast as I can so I can get out of here. I love my mom but we don’t have the best relationship and it’s best if I go my separate way as soon as I can get out of debt.
There's notjing wrong to move back with your parents, some people are lucky. I did pharmaxy and got lucky that I became a video editor in the music industry so didn't live with my mum after I graduated coz I had a source of income. This economy is shitty world wide so never compare yourself to ohter people who got lucly and are in the minority. If your parents won't let you stay with them after you finish school and figure things out, they don't love you coz they can't be that stupid to figure out how hard things are for our generation
I always find it so crazy how some parents genuinely expect their kids out of their house the moment they turn 18…..huhhh??? Maybe it could also be a cultural difference with me cuz in my culture you ain’t leaving your parents house unless you truly make a lot of money where you can fully support yourself no problem or if you are getting married.🤣 I’m so glad my mom has never pressured me to move out (I’m 20) in fact I don’t even think it’s something she even thinks about. She fully still provides for me no problem even though I have a job. I can’t imagine in this economy anyone having to move out at 18… I understand I’m truly lucky hating my mom is still ok with me staying with her cuz some other people don’t.
ppl get too caught up with the college they attend. Be smart, go to community college first. It will drastically reduce the cost. If you’re smart you can get grants, scholarships to complete requirements at a university. Don’t come out here in insurmountable debt….employers don’t care about the name of the college, they only care that you graduated. Better yet pick up a trade….unless you’re a STEM major. Get a return on your investment.
I’m am 1 of 2 of my mother’s 10(some of this is cousin-siblings aka their mother were on that Cr and my Mom raised them). That never went back. It is not a failure. It’s a reset.
Also alot of people dont know how to explore all their options, i got kicked out early and discovered ways to live cheaper by using airbnb, craigslist and facebook marketplace for people who offer rooms for rent, im still in college because i got kicked out during my freshman year with no transportation so i had to start working fulltime and i couldn't afford the ubers to campus, i had finally started speaking with my mother again months later and since then (2020/2021ish) she had been tryna convince me to go back to school and i was like no for so long but long ah story short last year in the fall she had convinced me and im ngl it fckin sucks being in a new state bc there's more to the story and i feel like being in the south is better for me but anyways im grateful to be back in school but when it comes to holiday breaks having to be in the same household as your toxic family you haven't had to deal with in years is draining as hell but ay the goal is getting that degree and then going fromt there
That was a good as plan.... But this fuking inflation nationwide tho 🤣💯🤣💯🤣💯🤣💯 Plus the thing is ppl think college grads go get tgec5, 6 figure jobs str8 out of school....not likely unless someone plug them b4 or after graduation...... It msje u think they putting ppl in debt at a young age...smh
I’m 23 and I graduated last December. My off campus lease is up at the end of this month and I’m going back home. I’ve been applying to places constantly since I graduated and have struggled a bit. I did have a job last summer and the employer there told me they could fit me in with some hours when I come back home after i graduate. The reason i am applying to other places is because I wont be able to afford rent if I wanted to get an apartment. Last summer they payed me $12/hr. Apartments where I live are really expensive. But I’ll definitely take them up on that when I move back home and I’ll just save up until I can find another job. Hopefully that’s soon cause I really want my own place.
I’m literally apartment hunting as we speak 😢 I had to fire my realtor because nothing was making since & she flat out told me unless the market is RIDICULOUS rn
I am in university studying computer science and literaly so broke and the thing is computer scince major is so hard and require a lot of work that i cant find the time to work or something, i really dont know what to do i tried to get into forex trading unfortunatey didnt work i was a real estate agent for a while didnt work out either and the thought of me strugling with money influence my studies like im always just thinking of how to survive instead on focusing on studying and when i do try to study my find is only full and tired from my financial stuation (Also side note I am studying abroad in europe im from africa) and that made me fail a lot of classes unfortunately
@@ChatiseE yeah but it take too much effort and time and i m studying about 9h a day in uni and need to come home study more do assignment and stuff so it’s really not practical for me
I’m about to start my second year in college and they raised our tuition 6% per year and will continue to raise it for the next 6 years and I’m like lemme work my ass off cause I know damn sure I ain’t staying at home doing community 😭😭
See I wanted to go to a community college and my mom said no, bc I'd find someone and never leave . 🙄 Then last yr she told my niece to take that route but she ended up moving out of state with her bf (in school tho)😑
This is weird to me because here in México is normal to still live with your parents until you get married. Ofc we live in another place/city when we go to collage but the majority of people return to their parents bc is the normal thing here. Maybe is because in México family is the most important thing, but i like it. I’m 25 and me or my friends are not pressured to leave our homes hahaha
I stayed at home and went to (basically) a community college. I only worked for two summers, but I had a scholarship that paid for most of my education. That made a huge difference when I started living on my own. I would've been screwed if I went to a traditional university (even with the scholarship). Not everyone has scholarships, so working and saving will be a must. Even if you have scholarships, it's still wise to work and save if you can (with this economy/job market). Things are way harder now than when I was graduating college. But even in an economic crisis, I think this approach is a lot better than nothing (even if it doesn't feel like it now). Good luck!
In our turkish / islamic culture it's actually common for the children to be with their parents until they have a proper income or are married. I actually prefer it that way if someone has a healthy family, one never knows when you'll see your parents the last time so better enjoy the moments u can still hav together in this life
It’s not something to be shameful of but these people kinda seem, especially that San Diego girl, seem like they really didn’t want to t dry to be an adult. Like they got hit “hard” once by life and just threw In the towel
See what sucks is, if we went your route the parents these days are going to want the money that your making! Oh you got money? Well I need money for this light bill or even give your a portion of the rent to pay 😴
Hold up!! Y’all Parents paid for your college?? Over here (in Canada it’s not that expensive for college) we pay for ourselves (depends on the program but most of them are affordable)
i dont see anything wrong with you moving back.. if your really trying and working for goals great, another thing if your just fking lazy and not learning from your choices, nah child.. i tell my younger siblings always have at least 1 more type of income from your main source.. saving money is good, but INVESTING is better... now that your young, even in a simple High earning AYP account, put in some bills every month and dont touch it..by the time you hit your mid/late 30s you'll have enough for a home.. the economy is shit, yes.. but seems today people are more focused on what they WANT not need.. they are so lost in wanting a type of lifestyle.. from buying a 50-65k car, going out, outside food, concerts, 1k phones, 200 shoes, $8 overrated coffees everyday (at least 100 a month) ect, all that shit adds up.. not that you shouldn't enjoy your money, you just need to have self discipline and learn how to invest more then you consume..
No, no no no no no no no no no no no don’t sit here and tell us you got fired and then leave it at that now we need a story time Dee😂😂 you was about to go full Compton weren’t you?
