I finally fulfilled my dream and moved out on my own, but right now I’m totally in a panic. The rent and bills are so high that I can’t make it to the end of the month, and I’m really embarrassed to tell my family because I talked a big game about standing on my own two feet. I’m tired of eating pasta every day, but at the same time, that feeling of freedom is really nice. Is anyone else going through something like this? Do these economic troubles settle down eventually, or should I just give up?
