If you thought this was going to be a post where I contemplate moving back to Hometown you are horribly mistaken.
I may make terrible decisions but c'mon even I know that that one at this time doesn't even make SENSE
Radio things. Yeah that.
Anyway, this post is about a certain someone I know trying to decide on plans for next year. She is still applying for post secondary school but she is uncertain on where to choose, especially if all schools accept her.
Thus, here at PTE we give the best life advice (see: Riccy Rules), so we are a natural choice for advice.
That said, this post is not about the advice I, Eric Riccy, have to give, but rather what advice you, the PTErs, have.
Below is a straw-poll of some potential Year 5 options. A vote is all that is asked, but if you have more advice to give, comment sections open as always too.
Also some context on the options:
Stay at Home means financial safety. It also means not experiencing any other city and also means living with parents. Also means not having significant other in person.
Move in with significant other means moving in with them and their family, which includes parents. The significant other is theoretically tied to this option.
Move in to a new city means any city (within region). New city means experience somewhere different, but financial strains and homesickness may occur. Also may or may not mean not having significant other in person.
Move in Hometown means staying in the same city but moving out of parents. The experience is not as extensive and financial strains may occur but it is a more fail-safe option. Also means not having significant other in person.

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about how to answer the poll, because no option is really better than the others; the decision is very subjective and ultimately up to the person. I think that moving to a new city, while scary, can be very rewarding. That said it could also be very rewarding to continue with and deepen relationships you already have at home. Tbh, I wouldn't recommend moving in with SO's family cuz it sounds awkward, and moving out on your own can also be really rewarding. I think that moving out at this point would probably be a good move so you can spread your wings a little, and with a budget, some saving, and financial plan you should be able to hack it. Then again saving while at home could be beneficial! (That's what I'm gonna do.) It just depends on how you're feeling at home right now.
ReplyDeleteTL;DR Your call, moving out in one city or another would probs be my advice.
Choose the cheapest option until you have your financials together, then move out.
