Dilemma

[Drake3287]

Sounds like you've made a great start in saving money. I can't tell you how many people I've worked with over the years that are your age and have little or no savings. And I'm talking a job that pays well over $100,00 a year. These guys will be renting for the rest of their life's but they don't care because they drive the latest Chevy Tahoe or Dodge Ram. Crazy.

Keeping living with your dad and save, you'll be surprised at how quick it adds up. People might kid you about living with your dad but your going to get the last laugh when you have a house. My son's sort of in the same boat and if he wanted to move back home in order to save more money for a house I'd be happy to have him.

You have pretty good savings right now. Stay with your dad maybe for few months or maybe a year or two. Save money. When you're ready, get a place on your own. Set a reasonable career goal, for example. I want to be X in Y amount of time. Once you set your goal, do the things you need and put yourself in a position where you can reach your goal. Go out and meet some new friends. Meet a girl maybe. Relationship is good in our lives. Find a hobby. There's a lot of things you can do in life. This advice is with assumption that you have no life.

We can't tell you how to live life, but we can tell you how to save and how to make a good decision financially.

The 1st thing that jumped out at me as well was that the OP is probably still grieving the loss of the mom. The OP is probably still distraught, confused, and deeply hurting as a result of the tremendous loss and as a result is having a difficult time right now. This is a bigger issue than just changing careers. My recommendation would be to seek professional help such as a psychologist/psychiatrist on grief therapy. Also support groups might help as well. Sorry about your loss.
