Congrats on moving out! First time living alone like this? I've been away from my folks for quite some time, but have always had housemates.

Would love to have a spare room to turn into an office!

Yeah first time. To be frank I should have done it sooner (I'm 31) but I got too comfortable for my own good. So I decided to shake things up a little - got a new better-paying job and now my own place.

Housing is crazy expensive right now and I suppose it's even worse in the US. I don't blame you for opting to share with housemates.

Buying instead of renting is worth it in the (very) long run if you can secure a loan whose monthly payment you can afford. If you have to bleed every month, you might as well own the house. Having a partner to share the load makes a huge difference too. Most people where I live get married, get a house loan (not a mortgage) and buy a 2-3 bedroom apartment in the city. Parents often contribute as well.

I just recently decided to move out of my parents' house and have rented a 55m2 apartment. Two small bedrooms (one is gonna be turned into an office for my PC) and a living-room + kitchen space. It came fully-equipped and furnished, which saved me a lot of money and effort. Still need to sort a few things out before actually moving in though.

All in all pretty satisfied with my choice of residence. What about you? Are you living in your dream house? Own it or renting?

A bit of both at times. But I do tend to indulge in overthinking which becomes tiresome after a while and drains my energy.

Very sad news. I grew up watching DBZ and there was a time Goku was my favorite character.

@uninspiredcup: Great choice of picture in OP btw.

Kate Beckinsale. She's gorgeous, elegant, sexy and seems like an all around fun personality based on interviews. Also, Rebecca Ferguson - has that Scandinavian beauty. Really liked her in Mission Impossible and Silo.

Not a fan of the art style to be honest. Felt the same about The Outer Worlds.

I don't go around calling myself a gamer but if it comes up in conversation I do mention that I play video games.

Both great movies but The Matrix is far more interesting. The world, action sequences and philosophical themes are still unmatched today.
