Hello, guys. I'm a 20 years old, still living in my parents apartment.
I desperately want to move out, because it doesn't feel right to live with them anymore. Currently I work a 4 hour job, so that I have more time to work on my business (from which I still haven't earned a cent) and have time to go to the gym (which makes my mind work better).
The problem is, if I move out with my current salary, I know I will be in survival mode (struggling to meet ends) and I know this is not a good place to be while starting a business. But I feel like I MUST move out of my parents house to take myself to the next level. I feel like this will allow me to spot a lot more needs when I have all this responsibility of living by myself.
So I made a decision to get an 8 hours job, which should be able to provide for my primary needs (food, rent, taxes, etc) and still have some money for my business. The problem is that if I take an 8 hours job, I won't be able give that business I'm working on as much time and attention. I feel like by taking such a job, I'm betraying my entrepreneurial dreams. But at the same time I know that moving out will give me a better perspective on how the real world works.
Just wanted to hear your opinion, guys. Stay with my parents with more free time OR dive in the real world with 4 hours less and more stress. I've already made the decision to move out, but I'm open to criticism. Thank you!
P.S. Sorry about the "me, me, me" post. Someday I will be serving people in need in this forum.
