I love your positivity behind this situation. For perspective, I am 27 and I've always wanted to live alone but really felt in the back of my head that the time spent with my parents would be time I never will get back. Along with being from southern california, rent is also absurd. I always felt lucky to have a supportive and kind Mom & Dad who were happy to have me here. Out of no where last year, my (seemingly) healthy Dad got diagnosed with Cancer. Fast forward to now, he passed unexpectedly this March. Looking back, I am so grateful and thankful for all the time living at home allowed me to spend with him. I work a corporate fashion job, mostly remote, and am so grateful for the ability to work anywhere. Please remember we have the rest of our lives to live alone, and one day you will look back on this time and be so appreciative. Life and our parents are so precious.
i’m 23 & married w/ 2 kids, i LOVE my life but i know if my life didn’t take this path i would want to be doing exactly what you’re doing! having the freedom to do your own thing and travel will be so much fun!!
So true Maddie, living alone is so hard for sure never ending i was married at 21 and had a baby at 23yrs old so you are doing the right thing enjoy your life whilst you can and have all the fun in the world you so deserve it, you are so sweet and so grown up for your age and definately have a good head on your shoulders such an inspiration to younger girls out there! xxx
Wow…$300 increase in rent. I don’t know how the cost of living keeps increasing like this. I’m over here concerned my rent will increase by $100 lol. It has been a while since I have watched. Glad to hear you are doing well! Wishing you the best, Maddie!
