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.

Well, then I say, relax. Nobody else's opinion matters. If your parents are okay with you being there, and you are okay with it, then just let it be.

You are working. Not panhandling. Not allowing mom and dad to support you. So far, you seem to be doing everything right. If the time comes when you want to start a family, you may have to reevaluate your options, but for now........RELAX
