Hmong families even live together. Like, kids living with parents. Then their kids kids live their as well. They pool their money together and live nice lives. At least as far as spending and fiscal responsibility goes. I live in Minnesota, and there are groups of Hmong families that did this and ended up owning businesses and being super rich. It’s smart.
Hey dont worry man, everything is going to be fine, who cares what other people think or say. They probably didnt research anything or got their hopes up way too high and then had to face reality harshly and suddenly. You'll be fine and remeber, people will always try to put down others and blame them for their problems
-Anxious 17 year old You called? But seriously I'm fucking terrified. It probably won't be as bad as it looks in the end, but try telling my adrenaline that.
The most horrifying thing about growing up is that you never do. I always thought when I was 18 I would be older or more mature, but honestly I feel the same way that I was when I was 15 and I wasn't prepared for this at all. You don't just magically become an Adult, you get older and more experienced but that's it.
I definitely feel more grown up at 22 then i did at 17. I have a lot more confidence, although i am still very unsure about the future. When you talk to someone who is x ammount of years younger then you, you realize how much you have grown.
I made a salad with canned tuna, corn, lettuce, raw garlic, fresh onion, onion with soy sauce olive oil pepper and salt and vinegar with two cups of coffee and now I am drinking matcha tea this at 5-7 I the morning
the absolute worst is meeting people the same age as you and they have incredible well paying jobs, their own beautiful home, a car, a great relationship, countless fun activities with others and you have to repress your tears at the thought of people like that existing or you might accidentally take your toaster with you for a swim the coming evening.
Kokusskatz yo been there i live on my friends floor from hs while the same kids we went to school with drive nice cars and foreman jobs from their dad handing it to them it’s called a silver spoon it doesn’t always taste good those people don’t have skills in this day and age if you’re successful most likely handed to you
To all the high schoolers who get anxiety by just watching this, as I did back then: You will be fine. I promise. I know it feels like you're in no way ready for "adult things" and you feel like you can't move out until you magically become a different, more capable person, otherwise you'd just drown in the adult world. But that's not true. Even if you can't cook at all, have never done your own laundry, and super awkward and afraid - there is nothing magical and mysterious about life away from your parents. Some new chores come up that you'll manage, some old ones are no longer a concern, and you'll get through it being exactly who you are right now. You don't need to adult before moving out, you're inevitably going to adult as you move out. Don't worry so much.
Totally agree. To add to this, in case people have any doubts: How hard is cooking? It's easy - just buy stuff and Google how to cook it. Laundry is easy - learn how to do it online, ask your mom, or just go to a place that does it for you, if you can afford that. Taxes, insurance - this can all be done online. People say all this stuff is hard because they didn't expect it in the first place. If you're worried about "adulting", it's because you have already thought about it. And if you've thought about it enough to worry, you've already thought about it more than is warranted, for its level of difficulty.
"but three months later you'll be laying in the dark on an uncovered mattress at 3 am listening to your neighbors trying to save their marriage while wondering how long it would take for anyone to notice if you didn't wake up" damn that one caught me off guard, nearly had coffee fly out of my noise.
Step 1) fight with parents Step 2) move out because u sick of living with them and think u can manage better on your own 3) after your first month (or week) realize that we have to go back morty. 4) get denied and stand by your poor choice making living off ready to eat ramen and sometimes a tomato
But 60-year-olds have possible mental issues and can be injured easier and making them alone is completely a bad idea, this is why old people have shelters. Or if they're already healthy, they would be retired causing them to struggle due to the fact that they don't have a job.
Bronzewarrior Did you know there are signs on the airport that tell you not to bring bombs, weapons, drugs, acidic substances and nuclear devices? Man I didn't know, thankfully I saw them before passing the security and could guve them to my friend who drove me there.
I’m too stubborn about independence. I’d live under an overpass before moving back in with my parents. When I struggled financially, I simply got a second job and didn’t waste money. Problem solved
@CGMe That's not very good advice by itself. Ton of people get a degree, land a shitty low paying "entry level" job anyway, and now have debt on top of being poor.
To be fair, you could always skip the unhappy loveless marriage part and just buy a child straight off of Craigslist. They won't love you, but you'll at least discover an old friend who has always been there for you: alcohol. After all, nothing is more effective at getting rid of the sound of a crying child than getting blackout drunk.
People used to call me a loser because I would sit in my moms basement playing World of Warcraft all day. But now they can't say shit because I got a job and now I rent out someone elses moms basement and still play World of Warcraft as much as I can.
@@rds6129 Says who? If one finds WoW, or any game for that matter, fun and a good use of their time, why should they stop playing? It's their time, and they seem to have their life in check anyways.
@@olivier6840 I'm assuming that since he's playing WoW all day he probably also has a programming or similar job. And why learn a language if he never gets social interaction? Some people just settle at a plateau in life. Most do, really, otherwise society would be unable to function.
A tip for young people: Be proactive in learning about adult life! For instance, I started joining my mom when she went grocery shopping, just to form a baseline understanding of what one might need to buy and how much things cost. Also ask your parents a lot of questions! I recently had quite a lengthy conversation with my parents about house loans and how expensive of a house I might be able to afford with X salary etc.
@@cczsus6513 I had to join my mom on her shopping rounds when I was too young to be left home alone, but as a teenager I didn't have to come. And it's not until that age you actually have the awareness to register what's going on. Plus, if you're just getting dragged along (regardless of age) you're probably not really paying attention to things, you're just waiting for your parents to be done. So my advice is basically to take the initiative to pay attention to the shopping, what is being bought, what things cost, scan the shelves to get an idea of what the options are other than what you're personally getting, etc :) My boyfriend - who is a few years older than me - clearly has no idea how to grocery shop so I have to take the lead to buy necessities. That's no good, every adult should have some idea of how to buy food for themselves
@@cczsus6513 Why would being rich make you not know how to grocery shop? :P I think that just has to do with lack of experience - another contributing factor may be if you don't really know how to cook and therefore don't have a good idea of what items you may need. Like I said, my boyfriend is pretty bad at it, and when my brother moved out he kinda struggled with it too. It's one thing to just buy a bunch of premade stuff (which is what my boyfriend does, he'll just buy frozen meals and stuff like that) but if you're going to actually cook you need to have some sense of awareness of what sorts of things you need. And if you've never really participated in grocery shopping (being dragged along by your parents does not count as "participating") it's hard to know what to get. You kinda get used to just taking for granted that everything is already available at home, until the day you live alone and suddenly realize you've got no salt or flour.
@@cczsus6513 Yeah, each person's experience is different. I think a lot of people grow up hardly ever thinking about food - their parents always do the shopping and cook for them, so they're used to food practically just appearing in front of them. If you live like that, it can become quite a shock when you're suddenly faced with the task of taking care of yourself. So I'm really trying to train my boyfriend to shop and cook, he has lived most of his adult life just eating takeout food (which gets really expensive). He has been getting those Hello Fresh boxes delivered for a while, where you get recipes and pre-proportioned ingredients and stuff, which I think is a good way for him to get used to cooking and learning the basics. Eventually he'll be able to get stuff himself :)
@@Merthalophor You could possibly do that too, yeah. I've done that a couple of times. But you'd probably have to start off going with a parent to learn, and also doing it alone might not be an option if you're too young to drive
@@arandomdudeontheinternet4199 No shame when you've saved enough living with them to buy your own place at 30 and you never have to pay rent to anyone. That's what I did, one of the best decisions I ever made.
Gavin B me and my girl freaked and had a mini dance party the first time I half asses filled the fridge after that’s it been big is working mad overtime never seeing each other trying to make ends fucking meet🤘🏼
i lived off of buying raw chicken and pasta. yeah, it takes like half an hour to prepare and another half an hour to eat but thinking of good ass food motivates me.
😅 I've come to accept that fact that if you rent places under a certain price cap, but do NOT want to live in squalor, you're gonna wanna develop some DIY and gardening skills. Sadly, most owners simply won't fix things, unless law changes force them to or the house actually starts falling apart. They're often simultaneously very fussy about how clean and tidy you keep the place though! There's most certainly a strong double standard present. If you can find out what your basic rights as a leaser are, that's a really good precaution?
Getting a solid job makes a lot of this better. Figure out/ learn some things that people will pay you to do. Ask for raises, move to better paying jobs, learn more skills (like how to use a chainsaw) and you’ll see your life get better. Also figure out how to create a second income.
Wow. Got kicked out with $8 during quarantine. That first part hit hard although a more accurate representation for getting kicked out in 2020 is being flung into a high speed freeway on a motorized scooter.
Step 1: Invent time machine so that you can go back to when it was possible to buy a house and support a family on $14/hr with a job that you got by physically walking into a random store and asking for a handshake with the boss 2: Move out
Then you're rich. If i would live on my own i would barely afford any food after rent and utilities were paid. It took some time to make my mother come to terms that i'm not moving out. Like why would i if i don't change cities? To pay the amount of an R7 cpu each month only on rent just to live in a smaller and more crappy room than the one i already had been using for so long? I'd rather save that expense and live somewhat comfortable. Get better quality shoes, can afford a decent gaming PC, any game that i want without needing to pirate and so on. Moving out is a bit overrated if odds are not in your favor when you're starting out.
How much was your rent when living on your own? Where I live in England here a 1 bed apartment is around £700-850pm and average salary in my city is £21,000. But as an 18 year old you'd not earn that much in my city... Idk how I'd be able to afford living by myself when I hit 18 next year..
Laundry maybe, the nearest laundromat is just uncomfortably far for me, as for cooking, my mom hates cooking and I cook pretty much everytime I visit her lol, I know it's not how it usually goes but for me moving out was pretty easy and so liberating, student support is really good in the UK even if you end up with a massive debt, which doesn't really matter because the repayment system is pretty damn fair. Decent student accomodation+ maintenance loan + even a single day part time job and I live a better quality life than most adults working full time, I get about 300 quid a month from my part time job, I also have about 500 quid a month leftover from the maintenance loan, so basically 800 quid that I can put aside for whatever I want.
@Antares I agree. When you go from a place that has a dishwasher, laundry machines, and a place to park and you have to hand wash everything, take all your stuff to another place blocks away to wash it, and not have a consistent parking spot everyday, you'll appreciate how big those little things were.
@@WPFreeinternet Luckily for me those are a non issue, I hand wash things anyway, I have a motorbike so my parking is always wherever i want it (right in front of the block usually) overall yea they were nice but it's honestly not that big a deal, I'm pretty bored as a student as I barely have any work to do so chores become a good way to spend time.
luckily, I lived at my aunts house for three months when I was 13 and my mom told me to do everything myself. So I learned to iron, do laundry, keep relatively clean, help out as much as I can, etc.
I did it anyway. Basically, find roommates (room listing), ask questions about their habits and how serious they are about limiting exposure, social bubble, etc.
This is painful to anyone that still lives with their parents in their late 20's... It's like telling us that you have to climb Everest just to earn basic respect. At least that's how I see it in the US.
Focus on being grateful to having your parents around. Love them and think that this is the best moment to find a job and study something usefull, because in some time you won't have the same luxury of having loving people around you and will be weaker. You don't have to climb Everest, climb your own mountain, within your possibilities. Make your parents proud, make yourself proud. Come on start now, even if it's not comfortable even if it's not perfect. The first thing is an achievable goal, the second, going for it!
I didn't experience any of this moving out at 18. Started working at 15, saved as much as I could and continued to work close to min. Wage jobs while going to school for 5 years. Growing up in an abusive family will motivate your a$$ to move out with fiscal responsibility an no regrets.
Ì wish I could keep living with my parents and instead of paying at least 550€ rent and utilities to live alone, work fewer hours and save like 300€ instead. But for some of us living with our parents isn't pleasant. I want to move out, not sure if I'll really do it.

Reference from your previous land lord? No problem, i'll ask my mom. Reference from your employer? No problem, i'll write it myself. How about your previous employer? No problem, i''ll ask my dad.
It's was scary for me to move out at first when I was 29, but it became happier that my parents don't control me all the time. No more curfews, nagging, or asking for permission to do anything. I moved out because I got a new job with much better pay in SF Bay Area. At first, I was living in someone's bedroom and the home owner was friendly at first. But things turned bad in a month and I started to search for my own apartment. After living in an apartment for a while, I faced a big rent increase and decided to look for a new apartment. At first, I looked at apartments, but then I decided to look at buying a house instead. I had just gotten married so I decided it would be a good time to buy a home anyways. In hindsight, I'm really glad I did buy a home. My home value skyrocketed in the last couple years that I lived in it. Doing laundry is really simple. You just put all your clothes into the washer and add a cup of detergent. Once it's done, just move the clothes to the dryer. After the dryer is done just take the clothes out and fold it all up. The washers and dryers are all automatic these days anyways, so just set to normal and forget it. Bills are really self explanatory. Most of them can be setup on autopay, so you can just set it and forget it. My wife, who is an accountant, does the taxes. But, all you have to do is just get Turbotax every year and just answer the questions. For bills that don't support autopay, I just put them into my Google calendar. Cooking isn't too hard either. Most foods have directions on them so you can just microwave it, boil it, or bake it in the oven. It's not much harder than making ramen in college anyways.
Kind of similar situation to you, but the important thing is you are getting paid a lot compared the average folks - most people can't afford to get ready to cook food all the time (where I am from it's very frowned up on, ugh being in India). Having a significant disposable income makes everything else extremely easy.
This hits so close to home except for the part about hearing the neighbors have sex since I just pass out because of the copious amounts of alcohol I consume because it turns out I have no self constraint when no one is watching.
Ah, I remember getting my first apartment. I lived by myself and actually managed to afford all of my rent, utilities, and other expenses. It was great until the crushing loneliness set in. After my second suicide attempt, however, my family coerced me into moving back in with them and now I don't have to pay rent at all. Happy endings do exist.
I just don’t wanna grow up man, that moment when you realize you are 18 and you are moving out when you just started getting flashbacks of your family having fun with you and realizing that you will never feel the same way
lol love the Jordan Peterson 12 Rules for Life reference. "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up Your Room with Nietzschean Philosophy" on a lobster print book. beautiful.
Indeed. The plan is to save for a deposit to put down for a house, since houses are generally a solid investment due to their habit to increase in valuation over time (at least in the UK). But if you are renting, it is near impossible to start saving, which makes it hard to fund a deposit for a mortgage.
I love how everyone is sharing their stories. We’re all different, but in the same boat. I have love for everyone here for that. There is more wisdom in this comment section than in most schools these days.
95% of people here: life is so unfair, a small minority of humanity got an advantage and thats my justification for not doing anything beside complaining. yeah....wisdom.
Dude, just be honest, you just wanted to insult schools and act as of you said something deep and profound, the people in RUclips comments are LITERALLY just privileged spoilt people who just want to complain, there's no wisdom here, who do you think watch these kinds of videos for ENTERTAINMENT? People with LOADS of free time and money, not the other way around
I just want you to know that I went on a first date a little over a year ago and my date introduced me to your channel. We could not get enough! Fast forward, to now and we're still watching your videos...the only difference is we're engaged. If I could I would have you at our wedding-thank you for all your wittiness and for providing us with endless entertainment!
Watching your videos always brings a smile to my face, and makes me feel like i’m not alone in the way that life has been workin for me so far. Thanks for the humor and honesty. Really helping me get through the rough patches
I had to change my major a few times as I began to realize I was never going to manage to complete the education that I wanted. Then I finally just had to quit school and focus on work, because it's almost impossible to scrape by at the bare minimum when you don't have a degree, and almost impossible to get a degree when you're stuck at the bottom. And even if I got the degree, I'd still be lucky if it got me a job.
When you move out you finally realize you had nothing important to do all along. Then you get a job you hate, and become a cog in a machine that serves people who were born financially stable. You quickly realize they're the "real" people of society, and you stare at them going about their day doing things they want to do, enjoying the sunshine, raising families...and wonder if you'll ever know what it's really like to be a real human.
Southern Pimp You can't possibly think life was meant to be enjoyed by the stone workers. It's been made pretty clear: Get money, be happy. And as long as literally several billion inbred retards, keep operating the way they do, we'll never truly succeed.
This is why I appreciate my mother and how she looks at things from others perspectives, that and I am/she is hispanic. Told me that until I am financially stable (Got myself good credit) and felt ready to leave the "nest" I could stay however long I needed. Love my mother to no end for that. Also I mention about us being hispanic because I had noticed back when I was in school that as soon as some of my friends turned 16-17 years old they were already freaking out about where to start taking thier life outside of living with thier parents and seemed terrified and anxious. My one other hispanic friend and I didn't feel this way its a cultural thing I suppose but just throwing your child to the wind expecting them to not come back is terrible to do (I feel like) because I think that doing this to a person not only makes your child feel like a burden to the parents, but forces them to do alot of things they never knew how to do and makes them feel helpless while the parents dance at home not having to worry about having another mouth to feed. Thats just an awful way to look at your kid. If your going to have children you need to be there for them and make them feel loved and supported. It comes back to you later on.
I'm also Hispanic/Latino and my parents told me the same thing, but really I knew I would make them proud when I got a chance to study abroad. All by myself. Sure having supporting parents who will stick by you through thick and thin is great, but at some point you have to realize they have aspirations for which you are sometimes an obstacle (by no fault of your own, just by the fact you live with them) and that YOU have aspirations as well. Of course at first it will be hard. You have to learn to cook, clean bathrooms, manage your time, get a job, and you have to make everything up as you go. But you know your parents will be proud of you because you did it your way, and you can finally be free of some of their rules that you have probably considered to be BS while growing up. So in the end I agree I love my parents for all the support they gave me, but at some point I gotta do it my way and step out of my comfort zone. That's what life is all about, I'm currently 22 living in Germany, making it up as I go :)
By the way I agree kicking a kid out right after being done with high school (or even before as some parents do) is very harsh. However, nursing them all the way to their 30's is not that healthy either, the kid will develop a dependence towards their parents that is simply harmful as, well, inevitably, we will all lose our parents one day. The sweetspot for moving out would be between 21 and 25, IMO.
@@jorgeeduardodussanvillanue46 too many dogshit parents who kick out their kids as soon as they are legally allowed to. Like why did you have a kid then if you literally didn't want to have to support them. We honestly have an epidemic of garbage parents in the US
Yes they usually want proof of previous residency since first time tenants are very frowned upon. I have never heard of one wanting to actually talk to your employer though, they just want proof of employment and an income number. Also don't cut yourself on all that edge Jake, trying to squeeze in our fucked up prisons into every conversation is only going to make people annoyed not spread awareness.
So they make money by doing nothing just because a paper says who is the owner and they are still really picky about who moves in to the point of wanting a previous landlord recomendation? Man, talk about being a parasite.
Everyone's experience is different. It hasn't been easy, but It hasn't been that bad. I was kinda forced into homelessness, and eventually my own apartment after the death of my parents. It's scary, but you can't let it get you down. It has been six years on my own, and I'm pretty happy. It doesn't have to be depressing or anxiety inducing. Living on your own is tough, but that's life. You make the best of it, organize your life, and live responsibly and life won't have to be nearly as hard for you. It might even have a few bright spots along the way.
I am 30 yo. I spent the last 13 years dealing with depression and anxiety, even going as far as doing ECTs. now my medicine makes me stable but I lost a decade of my life and the only experience I have with making money was through my cover bands, since music kinda kept me alive. now I know no one is interested in hiring a grown-ass depressed adult with no experience outside the stage. my only hope is my solo album. recording guitars, vocals, bass and drums by myself was neat but I need this to be better than "neat" if I want to make a living, the pressure is like in the Mariana's Trench
Likewise, similar age to yourself, and despite my efforts, my situations have aligned in such a way that comfortably moving out is starting to feel like a distant pipedream. Best of luck to you!
Unfortunately in this day and age renting out a basic 1 or 2 bedroom house is too expensive for just 1 person. Todays you need at least 1 other person living with you to pay £100/ a week for rent not to mention bills and internet too, food, car insurance etc... leaving age is late 20's to early 30's now

Some new chores come up that you'll manage, some old ones are no longer a concern, and you'll get through it being exactly who you are right now. You don't need to adult before moving out, you're inevitably going to adult as you move out. Don't worry so much.
Totally agree. To add to this, in case people have any doubts: How hard is cooking? It's easy - just buy stuff and Google how to cook it. Laundry is easy - learn how to do it online, ask your mom, or just go to a place that does it for you, if you can afford that. Taxes, insurance - this can all be done online. People say all this stuff is hard because they didn't expect it in the first place. If you're worried about "adulting", it's because you have already thought about it. And if you've thought about it enough to worry, you've already thought about it more than is warranted, for its level of difficulty.
Thanks for actually being a positive person :)

60 year olds living with their parents actually sounds reasonable. You worry about them when they're that old.
Darling
But 60-year-olds have possible mental issues and can be injured easier and making them alone is completely a bad idea, this is why old people have shelters. Or if they're already healthy, they would be retired causing them to struggle due to the fact that they don't have a job.

To be fair, you could always skip the unhappy loveless marriage part and just buy a child straight off of Craigslist.

@@psychocrysis2 just wait 16 years when your body grows weaker and you realizer you never really got gud at anything
A tip for young people: Be proactive in learning about adult life! For instance, I started joining my mom when she went grocery shopping, just to form a baseline understanding of what one might need to buy and how much things cost. Also ask your parents a lot of questions! I recently had quite a lengthy conversation with my parents about house loans and how expensive of a house I might be able to afford with X salary etc.
@@cczsus6513 I had to join my mom on her shopping rounds when I was too young to be left home alone, but as a teenager I didn't have to come. And it's not until that age you actually have the awareness to register what's going on. Plus, if you're just getting dragged along (regardless of age) you're probably not really paying attention to things, you're just waiting for your parents to be done. So my advice is basically to take the initiative to pay attention to the shopping, what is being bought, what things cost, scan the shelves to get an idea of what the options are other than what you're personally getting, etc :) My boyfriend - who is a few years older than me - clearly has no idea how to grocery shop so I have to take the lead to buy necessities. That's no good, every adult should have some idea of how to buy food for themselves
@@cczsus6513 Why would being rich make you not know how to grocery shop? :P I think that just has to do with lack of experience - another contributing factor may be if you don't really know how to cook and therefore don't have a good idea of what items you may need. Like I said, my boyfriend is pretty bad at it, and when my brother moved out he kinda struggled with it too. It's one thing to just buy a bunch of premade stuff (which is what my boyfriend does, he'll just buy frozen meals and stuff like that) but if you're going to actually cook you need to have some sense of awareness of what sorts of things you need. And if you've never really participated in grocery shopping (being dragged along by your parents does not count as "participating") it's hard to know what to get. You kinda get used to just taking for granted that everything is already available at home, until the day you live alone and suddenly realize you've got no salt or flour.
@@cczsus6513 Yeah, each person's experience is different. I think a lot of people grow up hardly ever thinking about food - their parents always do the shopping and cook for them, so they're used to food practically just appearing in front of them. If you live like that, it can become quite a shock when you're suddenly faced with the task of taking care of yourself. So I'm really trying to train my boyfriend to shop and cook, he has lived most of his adult life just eating takeout food (which gets really expensive). He has been getting those Hello Fresh boxes delivered for a while, where you get recipes and pre-proportioned ingredients and stuff, which I think is a good way for him to get used to cooking and learning the basics. Eventually he'll be able to get stuff himself :)
Or just go shopping yourself for your family? 😂 it's not that hard
@@Merthalophor You could possibly do that too, yeah. I've done that a couple of times. But you'd probably have to start off going with a parent to learn, and also doing it alone might not be an option if you're too young to drive

"You can start looking at places in the most expensive parts of town and then gradually lowering your standards as you come to grips with reality"
Ah yes, small house squashed in the suburbs without garage or yard, with two bedrooms for 1750 euros per month. What a dream!
I love how each sentence is relatable to almost every one living in any part of the world.
😅 I've come to accept that fact that if you rent places under a certain price cap, but do NOT want to live in squalor, you're gonna wanna develop some DIY and gardening skills. Sadly, most owners simply won't fix things, unless law changes force them to or the house actually starts falling apart. They're often simultaneously very fussy about how clean and tidy you keep the place though! There's most certainly a strong double standard present. If you can find out what your basic rights as a leaser are, that's a really good precaution?
Thought this would be enlightening considering I'm currently 18, it's not. It's depressing. In its entirety.

Then you're rich. If i would live on my own i would barely afford any food after rent and utilities were paid.
It took some time to make my mother come to terms that i'm not moving out. Like why would i if i don't change cities? To pay the amount of an R7 cpu each month only on rent just to live in a smaller and more crappy room than the one i already had been using for so long? I'd rather save that expense and live somewhat comfortable. Get better quality shoes, can afford a decent gaming PC, any game that i want without needing to pirate and so on. Moving out is a bit overrated if odds are not in your favor when you're starting out.

Having a mom that would cook at home constantly and do all the laundry and then you leave it and you're like oh dang. I totally took that for granted.
Laundry maybe, the nearest laundromat is just uncomfortably far for me, as for cooking, my mom hates cooking and I cook pretty much everytime I visit her lol, I know it's not how it usually goes but for me moving out was pretty easy and so liberating, student support is really good in the UK even if you end up with a massive debt, which doesn't really matter because the repayment system is pretty damn fair. Decent student accomodation+ maintenance loan + even a single day part time job and I live a better quality life than most adults working full time, I get about 300 quid a month from my part time job, I also have about 500 quid a month leftover from the maintenance loan, so basically 800 quid that I can put aside for whatever I want.
this is the most relatable
@Antares
I agree. When you go from a place that has a dishwasher, laundry machines, and a place to park and you have to hand wash everything, take all your stuff to another place blocks away to wash it, and not have a consistent parking spot everyday, you'll appreciate how big those little things were.
@@WPFreeinternet Luckily for me those are a non issue, I hand wash things anyway, I have a motorbike so my parking is always wherever i want it (right in front of the block usually) overall yea they were nice but it's honestly not that big a deal, I'm pretty bored as a student as I barely have any work to do so chores become a good way to spend time.
luckily, I lived at my aunts house for three months when I was 13 and my mom told me to do everything myself. So I learned to iron, do laundry, keep relatively clean, help out as much as I can, etc.

It's was scary for me to move out at first when I was 29, but it became happier that my parents don't control me all the time. No more curfews, nagging, or asking for permission to do anything.
I moved out because I got a new job with much better pay in SF Bay Area. At first, I was living in someone's bedroom and the home owner was friendly at first. But things turned bad in a month and I started to search for my own apartment. After living in an apartment for a while, I faced a big rent increase and decided to look for a new apartment. At first, I looked at apartments, but then I decided to look at buying a house instead. I had just gotten married so I decided it would be a good time to buy a home anyways. In hindsight, I'm really glad I did buy a home. My home value skyrocketed in the last couple years that I lived in it.
Doing laundry is really simple. You just put all your clothes into the washer and add a cup of detergent. Once it's done, just move the clothes to the dryer. After the dryer is done just take the clothes out and fold it all up. The washers and dryers are all automatic these days anyways, so just set to normal and forget it.
Bills are really self explanatory. Most of them can be setup on autopay, so you can just set it and forget it. My wife, who is an accountant, does the taxes. But, all you have to do is just get Turbotax every year and just answer the questions. For bills that don't support autopay, I just put them into my Google calendar.
Cooking isn't too hard either. Most foods have directions on them so you can just microwave it, boil it, or bake it in the oven. It's not much harder than making ramen in college anyways.
Thank you, I'm screenshotting this
Kind of similar situation to you, but the important thing is you are getting paid a lot compared the average folks - most people can't afford to get ready to cook food all the time (where I am from it's very frowned up on, ugh being in India).
Having a significant disposable income makes everything else extremely easy.

Indeed. The plan is to save for a deposit to put down for a house, since houses are generally a solid investment due to their habit to increase in valuation over time (at least in the UK). But if you are renting, it is near impossible to start saving, which makes it hard to fund a deposit for a mortgage.

My mom said I don’t have to pay rent while I’m in college...I’ve changed my major 6 times so far.
shawn gately man, I'm in the same situation. Good luck finding your thing tho
Familly dinners must be awkward
shawn gately I'm in the same situation. Good luck man, hope all is well
ForEveryOccasion I don’t have to pay rent, everything is great!! 😂
I had to change my major a few times as I began to realize I was never going to manage to complete the education that I wanted. Then I finally just had to quit school and focus on work, because it's almost impossible to scrape by at the bare minimum when you don't have a degree, and almost impossible to get a degree when you're stuck at the bottom. And even if I got the degree, I'd still be lucky if it got me a job.
Casually Explained: "emergency fund"
Me: "Is that food?"
i was watching this in the kitchen and my mother laughed a lot and wanted me to show her your channel, so you now have me and my mother as new fans
When you move out you finally realize you had nothing important to do all along. Then you get a job you hate, and become a cog in a machine that serves people who were born financially stable. You quickly realize they're the "real" people of society, and you stare at them going about their day doing things they want to do, enjoying the sunshine, raising families...and wonder if you'll ever know what it's really like to be a real human.
Holy shit
Danie F See, this is why he has a funny RUclips channel and you don’t >.>

I don’t know man , that sounded so accurate it’s actually laughable .
Damn.. This lowkey made me question my existence.
Southern Pimp You can't possibly think life was meant to be enjoyed by the stone workers. It's been made pretty clear: Get money, be happy. And as long as literally several billion inbred retards, keep operating the way they do, we'll never truly succeed.
"Live
Laugh
Leave"
I'm fucking dying
This is why I appreciate my mother and how she looks at things from others perspectives, that and I am/she is hispanic. Told me that until I am financially stable (Got myself good credit) and felt ready to leave the "nest" I could stay however long I needed. Love my mother to no end for that.
Also I mention about us being hispanic because I had noticed back when I was in school that as soon as some of my friends turned 16-17 years old they were already freaking out about where to start taking thier life outside of living with thier parents and seemed terrified and anxious. My one other hispanic friend and I didn't feel this way its a cultural thing I suppose but just throwing your child to the wind expecting them to not come back is terrible to do (I feel like) because I think that doing this to a person not only makes your child feel like a burden to the parents, but forces them to do alot of things they never knew how to do and makes them feel helpless while the parents dance at home not having to worry about having another mouth to feed. Thats just an awful way to look at your kid. If your going to have children you need to be there for them and make them feel loved and supported. It comes back to you later on.
Diana Haines True, but this is also why American parents end up in retirement homes lol.
I'm also Hispanic/Latino and my parents told me the same thing, but really I knew I would make them proud when I got a chance to study abroad. All by myself. Sure having supporting parents who will stick by you through thick and thin is great, but at some point you have to realize they have aspirations for which you are sometimes an obstacle (by no fault of your own, just by the fact you live with them) and that YOU have aspirations as well. Of course at first it will be hard. You have to learn to cook, clean bathrooms, manage your time, get a job, and you have to make everything up as you go. But you know your parents will be proud of you because you did it your way, and you can finally be free of some of their rules that you have probably considered to be BS while growing up. So in the end I agree I love my parents for all the support they gave me, but at some point I gotta do it my way and step out of my comfort zone. That's what life is all about, I'm currently 22 living in Germany, making it up as I go :)
By the way I agree kicking a kid out right after being done with high school (or even before as some parents do) is very harsh. However, nursing them all the way to their 30's is not that healthy either, the kid will develop a dependence towards their parents that is simply harmful as, well, inevitably, we will all lose our parents one day. The sweetspot for moving out would be between 21 and 25, IMO.
@@jorgeeduardodussanvillanue46 too many dogshit parents who kick out their kids as soon as they are legally allowed to. Like why did you have a kid then if you literally didn't want to have to support them. We honestly have an epidemic of garbage parents in the US
My parents kicked me out when I was 16. Our relationship has been restored though and they are pretty supportive. I'm doing well.
We need an updated video on this topic for the year 2023
Who else loves this guy's cooking channel?

Yea self esteem is a myth
As someone who plans on moving out as soon as im out of highschool *so like 1 year* this is AMAzing and so insightful
*youtuber makes a second channel*
*assumes it will be a gaming channel*
Provocateur in the USA we have the largest prison population on earth coupled with a for profit prison industry.. yeah we are basically slaves man
Yes they usually want proof of previous residency since first time tenants are very frowned upon. I have never heard of one wanting to actually talk to your employer though, they just want proof of employment and an income number.
Also don't cut yourself on all that edge Jake, trying to squeeze in our fucked up prisons into every conversation is only going to make people annoyed not spread awareness.
So they make money by doing nothing just because a paper says who is the owner and they are still really picky about who moves in to the point of wanting a previous landlord recomendation? Man, talk about being a parasite.
Jake Mitch in Australia we're literally slaves. Check the history out haha
I just moved out and this made me feel -100% better
Coleman Wolf good luck man
I’m crying reading this
"Moving out(of the basement)"
Blitzkrieg I don’t have a basement 😎
Everyone's experience is different. It hasn't been easy, but It hasn't been that bad. I was kinda forced into homelessness, and eventually my own apartment after the death of my parents. It's scary, but you can't let it get you down. It has been six years on my own, and I'm pretty happy. It doesn't have to be depressing or anxiety inducing. Living on your own is tough, but that's life. You make the best of it, organize your life, and live responsibly and life won't have to be nearly as hard for you. It might even have a few bright spots along the way.
How rare! Someone who isn't a cynic on the internet!
coming back to this sometime in the future to relate
You either gonna find this ridiculous or cry from the deepest of your soul, there's no in between.
Lying on an uncovered mattress at 3 am wondering how long it would take for people to notice you didn’t wake up 😂😂😂 I felt that
Same here
As someone who just moved out, alone, in a new part of town - the laying awake at three am part was way too real aye
I am 30 yo. I spent the last 13 years dealing with depression and anxiety, even going as far as doing ECTs. now my medicine makes me stable but I lost a decade of my life and the only experience I have with making money was through my cover bands, since music kinda kept me alive. now I know no one is interested in hiring a grown-ass depressed adult with no experience outside the stage. my only hope is my solo album. recording guitars, vocals, bass and drums by myself was neat but I need this to be better than "neat" if I want to make a living, the pressure is like in the Mariana's Trench
I'm sorry to hear that, thanks for sharing though, I hope it all works out.
Good luck, stay strong.
Similar age and situation here.
Wish you all the best
Just study your ass off, get some IT certifications and apply for entry level jobs.
Likewise, similar age to yourself, and despite my efforts, my situations have aligned in such a way that comfortably moving out is starting to feel like a distant pipedream. Best of luck to you!
I moved out for university and moved back in. Still here after 4 years of shit temp and unskilled retail jobs. Fml.
good luck
I feel it
What did you major in?
Dance Artist Biology and Environmental Science
ChispyReddit I was sitting here for too long trying to figure out what a Dance Artist Biology Environmental Science degree was :/
Unfortunately in this day and age renting out a basic 1 or 2 bedroom house is too expensive for just 1 person. Todays you need at least 1 other person living with you to pay £100/ a week for rent not to mention bills and internet too, food, car insurance etc... leaving age is late 20's to early 30's now
Samuel Vieira yea lol
You can get a small 1room apartment for 200/month
BQNG yea but you need to take in all the other expenses aswell
Optic500 have u searched gum tree there's always ads on their for shared ownership. By any chance do u work in like a JD/sports direct? Asking cos fuck those 0 hour contracts

Jesus. Where I live in the US, the smallest studio apartment costs $560 a month.

Thus spake Zarathustra
This.... I am in tears. I must admit, I was, in the beginning, a denier. I thought that it would be impossible. But as the seconds counted up and as Casually explained continued with steely determination... I started to believe. I started to believe in something greater than myself. Something greater than any thing before. Hands down, the most beautiful, most life changing video on this platform. I commend Casually explained for his hard work and for the strides he is taking to dismantle the problematic society we live in, to tear apart social constructs that seek to divide and weaken the solidarity of community. I am so glad to see quality content, LIFE CHANGING content such as this video being recommended to me. It reminds me that there is something in this world that we should be striving for. Among the fake news and the cat videos... This is the savior the internet has been waiting for. THIS is what we need, what we deserve and what will be remembered as the greatest man made contribution in all of history. Congratulations, Casually explained . You are an inspiration to all of us. You are an enlightened being. From the bottom of my heart and, though I do not speak for the masses, the hearts of many other people, thank you.

Hell yeah. How else are you gonna get your daily requirement of artificial fruit flavor?
Literally just eggs and salt and rice, and occasionally some sort of bean, probably soy.

Mini wheats and leftover pizza is more actuate for me.
I had to do a video presentation for my quarantine class so I just used ms paint and ms video editor with my voice in the back using my phone and OMG it took 2 full days and it was only 3 minutes long. I can't believe you put all your time into this, my lazy ass admires you so much
