So my name is Stef and I am 24 years old.
I always thought I would be the type of person
that wouldn’t want to move out of my parent’s house until I was at least living
with someone else. However, recently I have been thinking a lot more about
moving out and living on my own. To have my own little place that could be all
mine, that I had worked hard for and that I could make my own and something I could
call my own.
However, I work full time as a Manager at a fast food
outlet, though I make a good wage at the end of the month I still do not have
enough money to move out. Why does the price of living have to be so god damn expensive?
To even get a small one-bedroom flat that I wouldn’t consider to be worth the
money is £500 a month and that’s rent alone – no heating or electricity.
I am starting to get a little bit dishearten that I will
never be able to move out unless its with someone else. But I really like the
idea of living on my own where nobody can bother me if I want to sleep in until
12pm or eat my dinner in the bath while watching a film on my laptop.
So the question I am asking myself now is, do I save
up enough over the next few years to buy a reasonably nice house or do I work
harder and more hours each month to just move out and rent somewhere. It is
such a big decision and sometimes I get stressed out even thinking about the
fact that all my friends are moving out, living with their partners or on their
own and I am still living at home wondering what the hell to do with my life?
I really wish that when I had turned 18 and started
working full time hours that I saved more money and that I had planned more for
this.
And hope that sometime soon I will be able to
move out and have a little place that I can make my own.
I cannot be the only person that thinks about this
kind of stuff and stresses over it right?
Thanks for Reading
