It’s funny you mention that because that will likely be my biggest hurdle as well…I’m a terrible cook and I eat at chipotle probably far more often than I should. But it’s definitely a skill I want to pick up, so moving out might force me to get better at it. 15 is a very young age to move out at, I can imagine that has its pros and cons.

Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it 🙂

It’s definitely nice that I’ll know at least one person when I move, it makes the transition to a new place much easier. And LinkedIn is a great way to network and find new jobs, I’m glad I was able to use it myself. And I can imagine decisions become much harder with a new baby in the house, so it makes sense you stayed local.

I appreciate the encouragement Cameron!

In reply to Miss Mazuma.

The living situation worked out really well unexpectedly, we didn’t even realize that we would be living so close to each other…so it only made sense to share a place and split the rent. I think it’ll be a great opportunity to meet tons of new people too, I’m looking forward to it! Thanks for the kind words as always Miss Mazuma 🙂

In reply to FIRE@55. FIRE@55, that's exactly what my parents have been telling me, it's nice to hear it from an outside source too! I'm definitely ready to experience some new trials and situations, all of which I'm also excited to blog about. Thanks for the kind words :)

In reply to Mrs. Picky Pincher. I'm a strong believer that everything happens for a reason so I think you're right, thanks for the encouragement :)

In reply to Budget On a Stick. That's encouraging to hear! It will definitely be a bit of a transition but I think once I get settled in everything will work out just fine. I appreciate the kind words :)

Congrats on the new job, and hopefully more responsibility and better compensation! Having moved out from home at a very early age, due to attending a special sports oriented HS-equivalent, I’ve lived away from home since the ripe old age of 15. My biggest problem has, and always will be, food. I’ve never enjoyed preparing food, so I hope you find cooking and maintaining a decent diet easier than I’ve always done 🙂 Good luck!

Congrats Zach,

I moved away for 9 hours for college from my family, but went to school with many friends I knew. Having someone that you know in Ohio will be a nice blessing, as you aren’t 100% ‘alone’.

I also went via LinkedIn to find my current job. I was at a complete dead end job unless I wanted to move across country. With a new baby that was a harder decision for us to make so I went to a different company locally.

The financial situation you are in with no debt and a nice job is huge! Enjoy the success and explore your new area! Congrats!
