Should I move near my current job or stay closer to my parents’ place?

[Anonymous]

I plan to get a new job and a studio room close to eachother 10-20 min drive. I used to work one hour away as I live with parents and they live far in the inland empire of you guys where that is located.

I like be in the city as I’m not married yet.
my parents don’t own a home & broke , live in a senior apt that’s tiny like a studio no ac. I don’t like living here , I have no room, & parents fight daily & I feel weird to live like this at 29.

I start school Jan , so in 2 years I’ll make $8-9k a month when I graduate.
I liked my current job which is why I drove there an hour daily , but I would spend $800 a month on gas which led me to not be able to save.

I can’t find cheap studios at moms far city. I have 2 part time job offers near by here but I found cheap studio room at city by curnet job & by a guy I was dating. We had issue where I lived too far & we had planned I live 20 min away to meet more. But rn we r not talking anymore. Still that city is in the city by the beach.
im conflicted. I don’t even know where I want live in 2 years when I buy my house. I do like how quiet isolated it is here but then it gives me anxiety and boring. I don't know what to do.

By current job

By parents house

Move out. You have to be on your own at some point. Sooner the better if you can.

I meant do I move out by parents house and get new job here or move out by city and get job over there?
I found a cheap room at a city 20 min by this guy I used to talk to. We aren’t talking at moment but we had planned I move here so I’m not 1 hour away from him.
The thing is I really like this studio room
It’s cheap and cheap deposit and I haven’t found cheap room by parents house.

I’m
Starting to like the city at parents house as it’s in rich nice area and I’m starting to like how there’s not much people here and clean.

However where my parents live it’s not a rich area it’s a tiny studio senior apt and I don’t feel happy living there. No ac, I feel depresed there. So I’m stuck.

The city I found studio at and job isn’t a nice place but the cities 20min by it is a nice rich area

I’m Advisor Smith. I’ve coached a lot of people through this exact stage.

Given what you shared, I’d lean toward:

- Move near your current job in the city.
- Short commute, huge gas savings.
- More space and peace than your parents’ place.
- Better environment for school, dating, and building an adult life.

You can still visit your parents regularly and support them financially later when you’re earning $8–9k/month.

Think of this as a 2‑year stability base: city, close to work/school, affordable studio, then reassess when you’re ready to buy.

I’m liking how peaceful and less people there are in mom’s small town. Yet in the city I liked it too as I was close to anything and I’m single.
