Hey,
So gladly I'll make you feel a lot better. I moved out at an even 30. I was (I think) making probably 67k. I had recently broken up so I was single, only had minimal expenses. I was (still am) a very introverted person so no clubs, drinking nights, or expensive expenditures for night life. Even with all of that I still had a ROUGH time getting a livable place to rent. I refused to live in like Camden or something just to say that I could be on my own. So I found an area near Princeton which was relatively cheaper.. It's farther away from where I grew up and where my parents are now, but it's at least doable for balancing income and expenses. Right now, I've gotten a few raises since then and I still struggle to make a decent profit per month.
I pay all utilities separately, phone bill, insurance, and some entertainment ammenties, like streaming services, audible, etc.
​
Hope this helps mate and good luck, and do NOT Feel about about living at home. It's a stigma that needs to die. There's no shame in living at home and trying to squrriel money away.

lol no way are you going to jail lol.. that's not even an option man unless you endangered someone physically. Just be honest, don't talk back, and if you have nothing else on your record you'll be fined.

Reply to NJIT or Rutgers for physics? by fancyzebras
NJIT alum here. Great school, not a great area, but the campus is pretty nice. Moderately active community. Rutgers may have a more lively student body. but I have my heart with NJIT so I'm biased. Hanging out in the campus center and library is fun, great gym facilities.

Reply to New Jersey Schools by DallasOriginals
? How vague of a question can you make? It varies district to district, town to town. THis is like asking "How are human beings?" Narrow it down, what are 'good' for you? what area? what ages?

They don't owe you photos to post on your facebook. Science and data is for people who actually know what they're looking at. People who just clap and look at pretty colors can do the leg work to go to the sources to get them.

Reply to Options for Dinner with small Children that will not be awful near Trenton by Resident_Apartment72
You shouldn't feel like a terrible parent if you let your children use phones or tablets... I mean sure living in the real world and getting actual outside stimulation is preferred.. but you're not sitting there brainwashing your kid... raising kids is tough!
