When I graduated high school, I went away to college on my own dime. It was 70 miles away and I only talked to my fam like once a month on the phone. I loved the freedom and responsibility. But as a full time college student I couldn’t afford it and had to move back home after freshman year. For the last few years I’ve been going to community college and working full time.
I just turned 22 and I will have my associates degree this fall. I am going to a real college in the spring and going to get a real degree in finance most likely. I started a home business early last year and its continually growing but right now things are a bit iffy with it. Sometimes it takes all of my time and it certainly takes 60 hours or more a week to actually GROW it.
I have to go full time to college to stay on my parents insurance. Self employed insurance is too expensive. So I will most likely go full time just to save the $200 a month on insurance. To move out, I would have to rent a house OR rent an apt plus warehouse storage. I have to much inventory to fit in an apt, but not enough to overload a average house. I am pretty fed up with the way my family lives and would love to be own my own again, but its risky when I do not have a *job* but only a ebusiness that only makes me $2000 a month or so right now.
So should I move out and pay $1200 a month for a decent house plus all the utilities and extra food to equal $1500 a month or more. Or should I mooch this free ride at home until I have a degree or I manage to grow the business to $5000 a month+.
One other thing is that I am pretty sure I’m going to propose to my gf within the coming months. It adds to the problem of if I should move out now or to wait until marriage and move in together and mooch until then. At earliestttttt I wouldn’t get married until next summer.
Income – $2000-3000 a month. Savings – $5000
monthly bills currently – $250
It’s perplexing me beyond belief. I feel I could possibly get more work done in my own home alone, but I don’t think I’d get sooo much more work done that it would equate to $1500 more income.
*there were no good categories to place this question but I figure the married folks section would yield better responses*
move out when you’re ready…
