<prompt> Human: I am a recent grad, and have gotten a great job out of college I make 6 figures have no debt and about 15k in my savings. Being that NYC is expensive Ive lived with my parents for a while. I commuted to college. I want to move out because I cant deal with my parents curfews and sharing a room with my sister anymore. I know I can afford to move out it would only cost 18k a year but part of me is thinking that money could be used for a down-payment. I know I can save in other ways. I just feel incredibly guilty about spending it. Maybe its my parents guilt tripping me by saying mentioning it. I just feel so conflicted. Do you guys ever feel guilty about spending? How do you deal with it?  <response>: Its your money and your life. Spend your money how you want. If you think its worth 18k to not have a curfew, not share a room with your sibling, get some independence, better your chances for having sex, etc go for it. If you dont think its worth 18k, just save the money and live at home. Its probably worth the money though.
