I feel stuck and unsure what to do. Should I accept an offer to work in my home town and live with my family to save money? or should I move out and live a life I think I’d enjoy a little more but spend thousands on rent?

Unfortunately you're the only one who can answer that.
In my experience moving out is great for your personal development. Of course not the case for everyone but I learnt a lot about myself.

The money is certainly enticing but ask yourself what will you do with it? If you have a goal fair enough.

Lastly I suggest asking which role gives you growth opportunities. Perhaps you pay rent right now but then get a few major promos you wouldn't get otherwise?

Hope this helps

What does paying off your student debt asap mean? Is it reasonable with your *current* spending habits (and I don’t mean ideal, but what you currently save) within the next year or two? If so, I say stay at home. If asap means 3+ years personally I’d consider getting a roommate or a cheaper apartment and moving out. You will grow as a person immensely in this time.

I would definitely rather save the money and live with my family

I can only provide "My Opinion" on this one pal because most circumstances are speculation at best from an outside viewer.

I would recommend moving home with your family and enjoying their company whilst saving for a deposit. In the UK, there are a few ways to help maximise your deposit for your first property purchase.

Get some cash behind you, enjoy your family time and enjoy your life both inside and outside of work.

I hope this is some food for thought pal

Live at home but set a certain financial goal to achieve for you to move out. For me I wanted to have 15k in savings and under 15k in total debt.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
