I am 21 and madly in love with my boyfriend of 6 years. Things are not always rainbows and butterflys but I do love him and I couldn't imagine ever wanting anyone else.
We have both just finished college and are working. We both earn enough to live but nothing fancy at the moment. My boyfriend is moving out of home this month with some of our mutual friends that we are like family with. They want me to move to but I can't make a decidion!
I suffer with anxiety and money anxiety. If I stay at home I can still drive up and see my boyfriend, however I have all the comforts and security of home and best of all it is FREE. I live with my grandmother in a house that she owns, bills are small and there is no mortgage so she only expects me to pay for food.
If I move out everything will be different and scary and expensive. I won't have the cash I do now to go shopping and but things like clothes and makeup or whatever I want really, instead I will be paying bills and saving for a mortgage!
Moving out really excites me (especially me and my boyfriend being in a proper adult life together) but it also literally terrifies me.
What should I do? What should I be asking myself in order to make this decison?
Before anyone starts, We have jobs, a car fully paid, some savings, a degree and a masters etc, so please don't say "wait till you finsih school, get a car etc etc…"
Thanks in advance!
