Well this made me giggle a bit, I always had that in mind but everyone here would prefer to move out and live on Ramen Noodles, scraping dimes just to live on their own. Maybe I need their mindset though. I just don't care to spend money on an apartment that will never be mine to keep. I'd rather save the money to buy a house. Just a life of embarrassment and shame but if I play my cards right I'll be out when I'm 30. Even the thought makes me cringe. Even more so when my mother can't wait for me to move out so she can move in with me. I think part of my problems stem from my parents - they're (still) verbally abusive and that's how I'll always remember them. Maybe I do need to move out into an apartment and forget the "house plans" for my own sanity.
