Thinking about getting my own place

i can afford a cheap apartment with seniors and disabled people. i’m looking at the apartments next month and will apply soon.

i live with my mom now. i could visit my mom though a lot. she would only be 30 minutes away.

but my mom is really my support. i’m scared to move. i work part time but i struggle a lot. i haven’t lived on my own in a long time either. What do you guys think?

Getting out on your own would probably be good. Especially if you could visit your mom often. There are lots of supports available in most communities. I hope whatever you decide turns out great!

My dad doesn’t think I could make it on my own. He might be right, but I am on a waitlist for housing in my county. I’ll probably end up in the desert or something many, many miles away. My parents won’t be able to see me. It will be super hot too.

Yeah i guess it doesn’t hurt to try anyways. I’ve wanted too for so many years and not that i can do it, it scares me.

maybe you can turn it down and be on a wait list for a closer housing if they offer somethign stuck out in the desert.

I was thinking about that. I’m sort of worried. I think they take you off the list or you start back at square one if you don’t accept it, but I could be wrong.

is the housing pretty safe out in CA in that area… i had a friend in really cheap housing by fresno. And they had murders nearby and she wasn’t comfortable.

Your mom isn’t going to be around forever. You need to at least think about what you plan to do if she can’t help you any more.

Thats exciting! And probably scary too i suppose. I want to move out but i feel like my father whom i live with would get lonely. Plus its always nice to be able to go in the living room and start up a conversation.

But i would say go for it. If things dont work out you can always move back in with your mom.

i probably will go before her. But your right. if i get my own place although it still would of course affect me greatly at least if she passed before me i would be prepared for living alone.

i think my mom might and i might too. i don’t mind living with my mom. really it’s only when family comes around about 2 or 3 times a month is where i just don’t want live here. and i don’t like the actual house we live in otherwise my mom herself we get along with pretty well. so i don’t know… i think we both might be lonely though.
