I moved out two years ago, but really moved out "emotionally" four years before that when I left for university.
Despite the geographical separation, there are still a lot of connections. I pay for YouTubeTV which they use. They pay for Netflix & Prime & Hulu which I use. I'm on their cell plan, but I pay my costs each month. My point is that where it makes sense, there is nothing wrong with shared expenses. But I do think it's important to carry your own weight.
I'm happy to answer any questions you have. 馃檪

@sarabee1995 thanks! im not sure what links like that i'll have after i move out . . . i kinda dont want the shared expenses thing but dont really know how the whole financial thing will work

@GirlSerendipity My point in those examples was simply that it takes time to completely separate and somethings are okay to keep connected. I could go out tomorrow and get my own cell plan. It would literally cost me double what it costs to have my line on m&d's family plan. As long as I'm paying my own costs, what does it matter that I'm going through them. That's all I'm saying. Don't be in such rush to cut all connections.
Right now I'm driving the car they bought me used for graduation from high school over six years ago. It's now almost nine years old. They wanted me to buy a new car. When I didn't want to, they thought my decision was financial so they offered to help with the money. I declined because I don't think they should be subsidizing me. There's a difference between connections that make sense (like splitting a common cell bill) and connections that inhibit your adulthood. 馃檪

@aaaabbbb Thank you. That was ingrained in me pretty young. Both my parents have advanced degrees.

@sarabee1995 thanks for clarifying . . . that makes sense!

@GirlSerendipity You got this! Will you have a roommate? Or be in your own? I'm currently alone in a pretty small apartment, but I love it. It's my little space.

@sarabee1995 good question . . . not sure . . . depends on like how the money shakes out . . . first need to get my certification and get a job
