It's worth shelling out $800/month to get rid of the stress.
Yes! The peace of mind and tranquility that comes with having your own place is priceless!

$800 is sweet! Even if you donāt fully move in yet. It would be a good working space to go to when your parents are getting on your nerves.
honestly Iād do it, 800 is not a lot in the grand scheme of things and if itās close enough to your parents, you can visit on your own terms if you get lonely
800 is relatively cheap! ( assuming even with an entry level analyst salary). Personally I think itās worth it; maybe try to see if you can also save money in other areas like eating out and drinks. I see a lot of post advocating to move back home to save money but completely disregard the fact that not everyoneās home life is stress free Or have houses big enough for everyone to WFH. Trade offs
Like another poster said- I like the autonomy ( strict parents still at age of 25!!! :/) and also the freedom to go for walks and places ( I live in Chicago) helps so much with my mental healtj in times like these and worth the money
Also low key I was also āwastingā my rent when I was traveling 4 days a week I actually feel like Iām āsaving/getting my moneyā so much more now
$800 isnāt bad at all in 2020 if you like the place and it brings calm. You could spend 2-3 times that amount in some markets and barely get a run down closet.

A grown person should and needs to be on their own. Many people are still at home in their 30āsš³. Get your own place and make your own way in the world. Good luck

Is $1800/month enough to justify the stress free life over the loss of savings? Asking for a friend š¤£
Iām laying $1750 for this peace of mind lol
What is this 'stress' you speak of?
Reaching....
I know the feeling. Maybe do their house as a tester for a couple months? If it bombs, then you know for sure and youāll have at least saved a little.
Personally, my rent is worth not having to live at home. Itās just not worth it. I have autonomy, donāt have to report to anyone, privacy, and my own space.
I was gonna say stay with your fam and save the money until I read the stress part. Yeah definitely worth burning the money for that peace of mind and ofc youll learn a lot of key life skills by living alone.
800 is cheap compared to other cities. Youāll be close by and can drop by every now and then. I would get the apartment and have some peace of mind. However idk your financial situation etc, so make sure you create a budget to help figure out cost and savings situation
Understand about the stress part, but keep in mind that itās not just $800, start adding utilities, groceries, Uber eats, whatever furnishing you may need to do and that $800 easily becomes $1500 a month. After doing this math, see if youāre willing to leave this savings on the table and if the answer is yes then you know what to do

$800 is so cheap. Meanwhile studios are $2000 here.
Yeah like the ones that are clean without roaches or bed bugs or in bad neighborhoods lol
Man you guys give up on parents and family so fast, just imagine if they gave up dealing with you from 0-17 years of age.
Also to add in, how do you know what their family situation is like? I was raised by a raging alcoholic father and couldnt wait to move out at 17
I judge anybody older than 18 who willing moves back in with their parents. My first thought is āloserā
I love my family, but good luck bringing a girl home if you have to tip toe past your parents bedroom... thatās some high school ish
What's the cause of the stress?
Give yourself some peace and get the apt. - best thing you can do right now is feel good at home. You could see if they will negotiate - a month free or something if that tips the scales for you.
Wooow, $800 studio apartment from where I am is nonexistent unless itās an abandoned shack in someone elseās back yard. Lol, Iām pretty sure you can take up $800 working at deloitte lol. Just cut back on other unnecessary costs. Just think it as, āat least itās not 1800+ rentā. Once you settle and find peace, youāll know itās worth it!!! šš¼ hang in there
I have done this exact thing for the past 2 years. It is 1000% worth it, I could not handle my mom trying to control my life as if Iām still in high school
