<prompt> Human: I love my parents Dad: 70 yrs Mom: 60 yrs dearly, but they monitor my every move and are apprehensive to anything that deviates from their routine way of living. It makes for a miserable experience after just a couple days home, even when visiting.This dynamic really damaged our relationship towards the end of high school, and Im not all too excited to return to it now, especially after things have since repaired and gotten better between us three.Here is my situation in a nutshell...My future planned budget.No job currently, 2600 in savings, allowance from parents.New job that starts in mid-July, post-graduation, that pays 75,000yr, 80,000 with bonus.I want to live in the city with a roommate, my part of rent would be around 1250.I have to move out in July, as my current lease ends then.Here are the two different scenarios... Move to new place in July 2018? Id start with... 2600 in savings 0 in 401K After 1 year of living in an apartment, Id have... 17,000 in savings 9,000 in 401K Move home, then move to new place in January 2019? Id start with... 20,000 in savings 3,750 in 401K After 1 year of living in an apartment, Id have... 34,500 in savings 12,750 in 401KConclusionFinancially, its quite clear what choice makes the most sense. But I reallyand a close friend of mine agreesdont believe that it will be good for me to live at home anymore. None of my siblings have. My parents originally refused the idea, saying they were ready to live alone, but then when they considered the risk of moving immediately into a new place while starting a new job, they changed their mind and said I should live at home.TL;DRLiving with my parents until 2019 would make me pretty miserable, but it would save me a lot of money. Is it worth being miserable to get a nice head start in savings, or would moving from my current apartment to this new one be worth it for my peace of mind?  <response>: Just move to the new apartment. Your sanity and relationship with your parents is worth it.
