    Nothing like some midnight floor mopping because you put it off all day and have an apartment inspection tomorrow while you’ll be in the office and you hate having people in your apartment while you’re not there but you have to go to work because you have to present a demonstration to the executive leadership team.

    Meeeeeanwhile, I’m seriously considering moving out and just going to stay with my folks for a while. It’s not about money (although it would be nice to save a bunch of money quickly) it’s more about how unhealthy it is for me to sit alone in this shoebox. Plus I’ll have to house/dog sit for them for their upcoming US trip this year anyway.

    Then once I’ve saved a bigger chunk of dough I’ll finally bite the bullet and buy something. Likely right before the housing bubble finally bursts after 30 years of people saying it’s going to but never does.

      Dude, I had to do it, I quit work and went to uni as a mature age student - I lasted a couple of months with the parent, before renting again, but this was because covid etc. If you get along with your parents, they have a big enough house etc. and you’re single, do it. The money you’ll save is yuge. I know you love your road trips etc. But the freedom when you finally buy is life changing.
