Any of you at the point where the only option left is to move back in with your parents? I think I'm approaching it as this month ends because I won't be getting any more unemployment money, and there's barely enough money in my account for another month's rent. At 34, this feels like a huge failure. If you've gone through this, how did it go for you? Better or worse than you thought?

I lost my job a while back and ended up moving back in with my parents for a bit. Honestly, it felt like a setback at first and I was embarrassed, but it took so much pressure off financially and gave me space to reset. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I feared, it actually helped me focus on next steps without the constant stress of rent hanging over me. You’re definitely not a failure.

Keep in mind most of the world is in this situation.

That’s too easy of a bail out. I would ask friends before asking my parents to move back in. Gotta save enough to have a few years of living expenses covered so that you’re never in this situation.

I’m a second year associate at a small, but reputable firm. My caseload is almost entirely made up of clients who were referred to one of the partners but the partners are too busy so I end up taking the case. The clients are told up front that an associate, rather than a partner will be taking his/her case. I’ve run into an issue a couple of times where the client doubts my advice because I am only 2 years in. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I address the fact that I’m only 2 years in?
