I Live With My Parents

I have never lived on my own in my entire life and I am 30 years old at the time of this writing. I have a full time job but I do not earn enough to afford the ridiculous cost of rent on my own, even with a roommate the utilities would break the bank. I work a 12 hour schedule and while I get more time off than I did working 8 hours, the pay of course decreased dramatically. My younger sister is getting married in a few months and already lives with her fiance. All of this just makes me look like a loser in life and I probably am. At this rate, I doubt I'll ever live on my own before the economy finally crashes to the bottom. At least I have a job however, not everyone can say that.

Zhaich, where would you go? What would you do, if the worst happened and your parents lost the house or died in a car crash?
Very likely that won't happen, but you should have some idea of what you would do, if you suddenly didn't have them to live with.

Congratulations on sticking with a job. So many people are out of work, because they simply won't take a job that they consider to be beneath them.

What kind of work do you do? Is it anything you could do as an independent contractor?
