Majority of the positions require a preference towards CPA and even non CPA posting indicate a preferred preference towards CPA. Should I still apply or preferably seek other positions? Also seeking referrals for the same

I lived with my mom after I graduated for 2 years and while I really wish I would’ve saved more money, moving out and having my own space did wonders for my sanity. There’s no dollar value you can put on that, especially when you’re trying to date 😅 I found a place that didn’t make me completely poor but having to budget for awhile was worth it in the end.

Its not stupid to prioritize that. Those things are part of the reason you have a job in the first place - to be able to go and live your life.
No advice, but I'm in the same boat. I pay my parents $500 a month for rent, help cook, clean, run errands, etc. I want to move out but it's hard to justify paying rent for a tiny apartment when I have a nice big house to roam. Especially since I'm still working from home. My parents and I get along well too. I recently placed an offer on a condo and didnt get it unfortunately. Now I've decided that I'd rather buy a place than pay rent and watch my money disappear each month.
Pro
1. How old are you?
2. Would you be moving out to a house or apt? Share with roommates?
3. Do you help out around the house right now? Or chip in for mortgage? Do you go shopping, cook, clean, etc as being part of your household?
I would say the most important thing is pulling your weight as an adult. The decision is easier if you either help out around the house or pay your parents "rent". I moved out but rented a small apt with some friends to save money. Did my own laundry, cooked etc like a real adult (which some people push off until way later in life than they should!)
I'm 27 (went to law school lived alone for 2 years in apartment move back home for job which didn't work out and then found a new job been a parents for about 6 months now)
I'm doing my best to find an apartment without roommates
I mow the lawn do dishes cooked dinner a lot and do a lot of grocery run / errands. My dad does laundry for the entire house just because he's really good at doing it I do the cooking and dishes in exchange
I would say take advantage of that as long as you can, being on your own is expensive! As I’ve come to know, and I miss my family.
In the same boat here. Feels like I have two different people talking to me on my shoulders. Seems like everyone’s situations are different as some people have said moving out has helped them immensely mentally while others wished they had a little more in the bank when it came to house buying time. No truly right answer
