From reading all your posts, tho, i would still say you lack a long term plan. If travel is still on your agenda, how does having a dog fit in? Is it taking money away from your travel account? Etc. What if your san diego future possible roommate doesnt want a dog?
So im not saying those are the exact objections, but it looks like you are not fitting your short term goals into your long term goals. So it looks impulsive, and then your long term goals may suffer as a result. I think your parents want you to focus on long term, and then short terms that support the long term. But the specifics are up to you.

That's a great point. That is something I am working on, and it is something I need to look at more closely. How can I plan long term goals if I don't have my short term goals squared away? Long term goals include my living situation...am I living on my own? In California? In Oregon? Do I move with my parents six years from now at 30? Do I become a caregiver for my grandparents and live with them? Do I get married? Do I have kids? Do I WANT to get married and have kids? I know one long-term goal is to save up for a new car. But after that I am so lost.
