  • I moved to England a week after I finished my last exam. I stayed with my brother for a few months then moved to an apartment above my work. I was making £4.50 an hour and working huge hours. I ate once a day which was rice with a can of soup mixed in. I wasn’t living the high life, but it was good times.

    Edit: I lived a very tight life for a long time . I’ve since gone and studied then progressed quite well in my career. I live in the regions now, and rent is around $900 USD a month which is fairly achievable in our area




  • I moved out when I was 18, so cant give you lived experience. But in my opinion I don’t think there’s an age you need to move out, but there’s definitely an age where I think you need to be equally contributing.
    Financially I think it’s important to contribute to utility cost. If your dad rents I think it’s only fair you pay your fair share there too. If he owns then potentially a smaller monetary value as hell retain the asset. Domestically I think it’s important you not only contribute, but also lead some domestic chores.

    It’s reasonable to expect your dad to do the lion’s share when you were growing up, now you’re an adult I think it’s only fair to lift some of that burden from him.
