I’ll be graduating in 1.5 years and am trying to decide whether to move out of my parents' house or not. They believe I should stay home to save on living expenses like rent and food. My dad says he doesnt expect anything from me and would never ask his child for rent or money for food and I don't need to contribute anything to thr household since our finances are stable I can enjoy the entire salary for myself, and staying at my parents home I would have 0 expenses. He also thinks I should focus on finding a local job. I don't live in the capital but I am still in a tier 1 city which offers plenty of opportunities, even if the pay is slightly lower. He tells me I should only move out to live in another city or another country if I really think it's worth it for my career and all the trouble that will come along with living alone. He thinks there is no need for me to move out just to learn life skills, as he believes I’m already independent enough to handle things on my own.
My mom insists on staying and even if I do move out, it has to be somewhere nearby so she can visit daily.This wouldn’t be my first time living away from home, though. I’ve been staying in a university dorm, but my parents covered all the expenses, and I never had to worry about things like laundry, food, or utility bills. What do you think I should do?
