<prompt> Human: I just landed a job that will gross around 52k a year big money for me, personally. It also has plenty of incentive programs through spiff sales, commissions, and other bonuses. Its a direct competitor of my fathers business and I still live with the family pretty awkward around the house currently Also, my friend closed on a house and is offering me a place there for 500 flat no utilities, etc. when he moves in in June. I had originally planned to use this new job to save for a house in a year or two. His house is half the commute distance and Id finally be able to leave. My question is: Should I move in with him? Or would it be better to bite the bullet and sacrifice a little happiness to put that 500 toward my own house? Id just like some other perspectives on how I should lay out my priorities.  <response>: Nothing will broaden your mind more than moving out from parents. Financially usually worse but with great trade offs
