Well in my defense I only live at home because I am so confused. My parents are nice about it. I can easily buy/rent but the stopping factor is that I don't know what to do. I am located on the east coast, and want to go to Silicon valley, etc. so I see no reason to invest in a 1-year lease or mortgage if I am trying to change my lifestyle! :o

Based on this reply, it sounds like you want the easy way out. It's time to "nut up and make a decision" (Liz Lemmon).

If you want to go to Silicon Valley, go. If you want to stay at home, time to become an adult and not rely on your parents for everything.

Maybe you'll tell me it's the smart way out, but it is a compromise I will not make.

Yes, you can save 6-8 grand each year by living at home, but you're living at home. I guarantee that your friends that went out and are living on their own are mocking you behind your back.
