Should I move out of my parents' house?

I gradauted from college in NY in August, but while I was in school my family moved to FL. When I graduated, I came to visit my family in FL %26amp; they convinced me that I would have great opportunities here. Although, I had my heart set on staying in NY b/c I was born %26amp; raised there %26amp; b/c my friends %26amp; boyfriend are in NY, I have since moved to FL. I have been in FL for about 2 months now %26amp; have been actively seeking jobs %26amp; still NOTHING. I'm extremely unhappy in FL b/c I'm out of my element %26amp; b/c I do not have a job. However, when I search for jobs in NY, there are many job options for me. I miss NY terribly %26amp; have become quite miserable living in FL. While @ school I managed to save up about $1000, but that's not enough for me to move out on my own. I have family in NY, but their house is very cramped. Do I stay in FL where there are no jobs, but I have a comfortable place to stay or do I go to NY where there are tons of jobs, but no comfortable place for me to live while I save money?

Should I move out of my parents' house?
What do you consider more important in your life....





Independence or Comfort?





If the latter is your choice you will always find a reason to seek it out and justify not taking the hard step of getting out on your own.





You are way to young to start taking the easy way out. Get out of mom's house, be poor and struggling and learn the tough lesson of enjoying every little success, every little acquisition, and even the grumbling in your tummy when you have to put on your big girl panties and pay rent instead of going out for dinner and drinks with friends.





I vote for independence.





Good luck!
Reply:Good for you. I wish you all the luck in the world and good friends who will help you along your way. Report It

Reply:Go to NY. You are old enough to be independent. Everyone starts out with a bit of a struggle and some discomfort. It is a great motivator!
Reply:Giggles - you said you were unhappy in FL. Go to NY.





You may have to be uncomfortable for a while until you get a job and settled, but eventually you will be fine.

Reply:You say your family convinced you that you would have great opportunities in FL, but it's apparent that you don't. You had your heart set on staying in NY. You are extremely unhappy in FL. You have many job opportunities in NY. You terribly miss living there. You have family in NY, and you would be able to get a job, save up money, and then move out.





The answer seems clear to me, but it is your life and your decision. Some important factors would be: What is more important to you- staying in a comfortable place, or working? Staying with your family in FL where you are miserable, or staying in a cramped house in NY, where you will be happy?





It must have been hard to leave your friends, boyfriend, and the place where you grew up. Why did you do it? If you would have job opportunities in both places, it seems to me that your family in FL are a factor in your decision. If living with them makes you happy, then you would be happy in FL once you got a job. If not, you should go back to NY. I'm sure your family would tell you to go wherever you would be happiest.





I know this is lame, but imagine your future with each outcome. If you stayed where you were, would you regret it? If you went back to NY, is there any downside? Perhaps you sense that your family in FL wants you to stay with them- but in that case you can't stay at the expense of your happiness.





If this was completely wrong, than I hope someone else offers some useful advice, but I really got a strong sense that you really want to go back to NY (but that something is causing you to hesitate). I hope you discover the answer and go with it. Only you know what will make you happy, and you definitely should aim to be happy.





Best of luck.
