<prompt> Human: I live at home, Im 25 with no college degree. I work at Boeing as a machinist and I bring in around 2000 a month and have no bills right now. Im a man child, I hate it. One of my parents is Asian so living at home isnt culturally weird, but the other half of my family is probably confused as to what Im going to ever do in life. I want my own house and I just looked at zillow listings and Im depressed. I bought a shitty 2000 dollar car by choice because I wanted to do the adult thing and drive something cheap and reliable, I have about 1800 saved, zero credit card debt, and zero bills of my own yes, parents still front insurance I am lucky there but Im sure they would soon like me to start taking that on my own once I get into a house. Going to school for free paid for by Boeing and have a couple years left and got the company match going into my 401k they match 50 of 8 of paycheck. With such a small savings, and seeing the housing prices soar in the Washington state Puget sound area I cant help but feel discouraged. The only things I could ever feel like I could afford are foreclosed houses that probably need to be leveled because they were meth labs gone wrong. I can probably save 1500 a month really easily and my parents will let me kick it here for a 2-3 more years, but man... I dont know how people got on their feet. Im not married and dont get a dual income and I feel like thats a huge advantage over my situation. This post is probably a mess. Its 1am and I have to get up for work in two hours and Im up late stressing because I really feel like I wont make it. I dont know. Dont know what to do.  <response>: Stop spending all your money. Thats step 1
