But I have to again make a major life decision 
I have been looking around for a roomate, so I can save money on rent or be able to get a less paying job that I ENJOY, and get started on building my career in social services. I also may want a parttime job, or no job for alittle while to go back to school full time so I can actually finish!
I really want to stay out on my own, and I can, but I won't be able to leave my job for awhile since I can't find a roomie.Then I have to stay in school parttime and may not be able eto make the jump to my new field of interest, since human services/social work pays ALOT less entry level than office clerical/accounting work. I am afraid that if I leave my job, I will need two jobs to survive, than I wouldn't be able to finish school and get a higher education, and would be stuck at that income level. I would basically have myslef locked into the poverty cycle.
My family and I have serious issues, and there are members of my family that are not mentally stable. I am afraid that we will constantly fihgt if I move home. But, I also know how to handle people now, and if I invest alittle money I could get my own private entrance and bathroom. I would refuse to move in without my own bathroom (you all know how that one is!) My mom says that if I help fix up the basement (already half done- that is where i used to stay), then it would be less rent (i would pay them SOMETHING), and it would benefit them when I moved out they could rent it out.
THing I am afraid of is that if I move home and leave my job, and decide I need to get out of there again, if I can't find a roomate I will be screwed, cause i am severely overpaid and underqualified (work for the family business), and once i give it up I will not get that pay anywhere else for awhile.
Wow, just typing this makes evertything seem better for me! I really will have to swallow my pride moving home, I was gone for two years no problem, but it is the only way to move forward. I won't have to feel too much like a loser cause I will atleast be paying rent. I would probably buy my groceries too, I couldn't expect them to spend extra for my special food. Then I could relax and be able to be a kid for once too! Also, I wanted awhile ago to move home to be able to take care of my bro and make sure he exercises and eats healthy, I would probably cook for everyone since I have to for myself anyways.
And my lease isn't up til Sept, so I have some time left on my own to live it up! And since I will still have privacy at my parents, Roman could still stay with me on the weekends, but my family gets along great with him anyways, especially my little bro.
Does this sound like a good idea?
