Any advice with this current life situation I am in?

Right now, I am 23 and I still live at home with my parents. I graduated from college almost two years ago and have been in a two year temp job with the US Government for the last year and three months. Its a good job with good pay- the temp part is the worst aspect. I would like to move out, but I really don't think it would be smart since there is not much time left on my job. Living at home is taking a toll on me. I truly feel like I am missing out on life. I want to be on my own and think for myself. I don't even remember what it was like living alone in college since I've been at home so long. Plus, my relationship with my parents is growing further apart-we argue all the time, and I dont like the person I am becoming around them. Not to mention, my confidence is getting worse as the months go on. I've saved up a lot of money, but now I'm scared I'll lose it if I have to start paying insurance if I do not find a new job before my temp one runs out. All I can do is look for a new job, and move out once I get one, but in the mean time, do you have any suggestions to keep me from sinking further into the slump I'm in? I know it could be a lot worst since I have a job, but I wish it would get better. Thanks.Any advice with this current life situation I am in?
I'm in a similar situation. I'm working full-time, but not making much and I'm going back to get my master's. Getting my master's is a huge goal for me, but in order to go to school and still pay for things I need, I have to work. So, I have to work at a job that accommodates my class schedule and of course, that doesn't pay enough. So, I'm also stuck right now!





I feel for you. The first thing I would do is try to improve the relationship with your parents. I know it's hard, but just try to do little things to make the relationship better. You don't want to strain the relationship so badly, that when you do finally move out, you'll still continue to have resentment towards each other.





Second, spend as much time away from home as possible. This is what I try to do. I'm really involved in a lot of activities, have friends and go out on the weekends. The more involved I am, the less time I'm at home and the less it seems like I'm a lazy bum that stuck up my parent's ***.





My parents like that too. They don't see me as a lazy 20 something living at home. But, rather as mature adult with lots of educational and career goals and a life of my own. The more active you are, the more it will seem like living at home is just temporary, until you're able to get on your feet.





There is nothing wrong with living at home, while you attempt to get on your feet. I'm 25 and pursuing a master's. I would never be able to do this, if I had a place of my own. I would be forced to get a job that pays more and has more hours, making pursuing my master's not possible at this point in time.





But, I only have 2 years left (and hopefully, I'll be out by then, since I will more than likely be getting married next summer). I know this isn't going to be my living situation forever and you should understand that too.





Do the best you can to find a new job and get on your feet. You're doing well, you're doing fine. Don't make your confidence go down. Instead of feeling poorly for yourself, put that energy into finding a job!Any advice with this current life situation I am in?
Just try to be more grateful that your parents are letting you live there all this time. Just keep saving and looking for a better job and then move out.
Find a group of friends to live with - the more people in a house, the cheaper it ends up being.


You still have 9 months left of your job, so you have a decent amount of time to find another one - made a little easier by your having a college diploma and work experience.


If you move into an established house, a lot of the initial expenses will be minimal.


You will find a way. Be positive and make affirmative actions rather than wait for things to fall in your lap (which my sister does and wonders why I am ';luckier'; than she is).


All the best. If you lived in Brisbane Australia, I'd say that you could flat with my sister! :P
