lol... yeah, they're awesome, tasty, and dare I say, magically delicious, but that's not what this blog is really about.
For the past few years, I've been living with my mom, helping out with bills, all that. Yeah, I know "He lives with his mom! OMG!" but it's not really like that. She's got a lot of bills, and her paychecks, and my stepdad's paychecks didn't really cut it as long as he was paying child support, so I decided I'd help out, and the only way I could do that was if I lived here, cuz then it'd be more affordable. Well, he got the child support all taken care of, which was good, and I started saving for a place of my own. Fine and dandy. Then I got laid off. Been living off unemployment for the past few months. Now I can't afford a place of my own due to my own bills consuming a good bit of my checks along with part of my mom's bills -.- I WAS saving up for the place, but ended up using up all my savings on little things, like bills, fixing my truck, all that. I'm wondering right now if the perception will be I can't handle a place of my own, or if it will effect a relationship at all. Blah. I dunno. Life's a bitch, I guess you could say. I'm thinking of moving in with my grandparents in california, but bleh... I dunno. Economy's pretty bad anywhere you go. Seems like I'm running out of options.

Know how ya feel. Seems like even with a job and overtime it's still hard to make the bills and I don't have that many. Your blog reminded me of a woman that said I was a loser because I lived with my parents. Funny 'cause at the time I was payin' 600 a month for MY house and 300 for my ex's car when goin through my divorce. It doesn't matter where you live. Love is love. Whether you're rich or poor. Good luck to ya. Be careful not to fall for the scammers. Desperation can kill ya.

 I say ..........save your money.......and wait.....  ......economy is bad everywhere and I believe it is going to get worse......the gas is already going up and so is the price of food.........if you look at the food .....the packages are even getting smaller  it is ashame..........You did the right thing.....by helping your mother out and stuff.....  that is sweet..........I see people cutting down on going out and maybe not driving that SUV out so much an taking the little car out........I think you should kinda watch the prices and compare......of how much money you have coming in and compare it to where you think of moving.......and in a relationship.........that is very very hard.....your dating and that requires to go out and whether it is for coffee or a movie......it's still pricey.......and dinner.....until you can regain yourself and find a good steady job......and know that you are secure....then I would go ahead and seek out a relationship ......but in the meanwhile.......compare rates cost of living and everything out......you will know the answer....... I would stay put .........for awhile.....

What you should do sort of depends on what you want to do. Have you looked at jobs listings in California where you'd be going? What are your skill sets? Do you have a college degree, training...if you were laid off you may qualify for programs that retrain displaced workers..meaning free or low cost education/training and maybe some sort of living allowance. Sometimes those doors slammed on your tail are an oppotunity for something bigger and better.
No one can really tell you what to do and it be as meaningful as you setting your own goal and going after it. You are at a difficult crossroads but as my grandfather used to say, if you think about something long enough you will probably come up with a few good solutions. Good luck ...

I know what thats like. I ended up moving back home with my parents after my mother got really sick and that year my father ended up in the hospital with heart problems that almost killed him. Since then, my mother kicked off and my father has been slowing down a bit so I fill in the gaps that he cant take care of. It may not be the "cool" thing to do, but it was the right thing.

I'm sure someone who is truly interested in you as a person will see you as doing the "right" thing, which is great. Not to many men your age would do that.
Good luck with everything.

Ca. is one of the worst places you can go because it is and has always been one of the most expensive states to live in!
