It's crazy to me. Maybe having bad parents has skewed my perspective.
I loved my parents, but once I was on my own I was happy to live a few hours drive away.
I have no desire to stay where I am personally, just a waiting game to pool together enough money to make job hunting elsewhere... viable. Cars paid off next year, that's probably when I'll start seriously looking
Yeah horrible parents or rich parents are really the two big reasons one can move out. Otherwise there's really no reason to do it if you've got your whole support and friend network in the city.
some of us had bad parents but still needed to take care of them when they became elderly. tis grace.
