Search Results: 24 hours to live

I just started a fairly good job (5000USD a month when you convert my wages to USD), but there's no career progression. I work as a labourer in Australia, still live at home and there's 6 months of work lined up with no promise of work after that. I have the opportunity to work in another country at a much lower wage, initially working in a restaurant at a ski resort in the USA. I could look for higher paying, career related jobs when I get there or continue travelling around. Do I go abroad for the experience? Or should I stay and save some money? I think I would regret not going as there might be opportunities overseas that might suit me better careerwise and also for the experience while I'm young, I'm 24 and single. But I still feel like this could be a stupid financial decision and a risk that I should not be taking. I have 30k in savings, (plenty to travel and work at the same time) and there's between 30-40k of money I could make in my current job depending on how long the job lasts.
I'd like to add I'm a recently graduated engineer and have been unable to find career related job where I live. I've been looking for almost 2 years now. That's a whole other story. I would like to ski and work at the resort, it's something I've always wanted to do. I would probably be happier doing something new and different while I'm young. But the work and the hours are good at my current job and I can surf everyday after work. I think I should go overseas and see what it's like and maybe if things aren't working out, I can come back and return to my labouring job if my boss would hire me back. But was just wondering what you think?

When I look at my friends, I think they are idiots. They moved out between the ages of 18-20. Some live with their girlfriends and some live with roommates. Thing is, a lot of them are living pay check by pay check. BUT... they all have social lives, get to have sex whenever they want and pull all nighters.

I'll be 24 soon. I just finished college. Have $20,000 worth of debt, will start my new job in November and I can't travel far since my car breaks down a lot.

My goal was to pay off the debt while living with my parents. Trade in and buy new car when debts are paid. Save up to 10-15K and then move out and live by myself in an apartment by age 25-26 or so.

Thing is, when I live with my parents, I just feel like I don't have the same luxuries as my friends who live alone. If I go out all night, my parents will worry. One time this girl who lives 1.5 hours away from me wanted me to come to her house at 12am. I couldn't go because I live with mommy and daddy and they would worry.

I can't bring home or meet a lot of women. My parents would judge them and then they would judge me for picking up so many women.

I can't have sex (I'm still a virgin). Again... they would judge me or they would get worried that I am still out by 3 AM.

I do go out to hang with friends sometimes... but I don't stay out too late.

At the end of the day... I will have no debt, a nice car and a nice apartment by myself. As opposed to my friends who live paycheck to paycheck, crappy car and live with 1-2 other roommates.

Is what I am doing worth it? Should I continue to wait?
