I am thirty one and live with my mother. I have been here a year and a half now. Before that I been relatively self sufficient and out the house from 25-29. Age 23-24 I lived at home. 20-23 I was on my own but they helped me a good bit.
I was an OTR trucker for two of those years, so didn’t really need to rent or anything. Around 21 I was getting free room and food for working at YMCA Snow mountain in Colorado, which I highly recommend to anyone floundering . You won’t make a lot but it’s a good deal for a 21 year old with nothing to lose having zero rent or food expenses and still make like 400 for a 40 hour week. I slept on a brother of mine’s spare couch for about 6 months, for free. I was homeless and living out of my car for a few months which got worse and I was even sleeping on top of a Sonic at one point. I had little shelter up there and would climb up at night after walking the street looking for any food the restaurants were gonna throw away anyway. The reason for this was drugs, of course. Anyway, I don’t cer if they are datamining. I been coming here basically 20 years and they probably know everything’s to know about me already.

Yeah I feel guilty about being back here but that’s not an excuse not to make the most of it. If you’re at home you need to cherish that time and all that’s been done for you - now I know every situation is different, don’t praise for no reason but I digress… I try to do all the chores I can, I don’t hole up in my room like a neet. I’m doing stuff near constantly to try to feel worthy of being here lol. I don’t bring up my own viewpoints on things unless it’s a normal thing or agreeable at least. I go to church sometimes. But yeah, that’s why I’m here, and hopefully back out soon. Any questions or comments im happy to answer, will be following thread in the meantime
