      I wanted to quit my job, but was looking for another one before I did that. My friend kept telling me to quit because "the universe would catch me." I was so confused by what she was talking about and ignored her.
      A few months later, she asked me if my parents had ever threatened to cut me off. I was confused, "cut me off from what?" That's when I learned her parents paid her rent every month.
      We are 38 years old. I have covered all of my own expenses since I moved out at 19.
      "The universe" was her upper middle class parents.

      Yeah if anything the reverse of that is way closer to "financial independence".
      At that point it would be "I'm surviving on my own but they buy me nice things."
      Neither is financially independent but in one of those situations you can at least survive if they stop paying for things. In the other your existence is dependent on them and you're just making fun money. Basically the way most middle class high schoolers exist (having rent and food covered but having a part time job to pay for movies and dates and fast food).

She was a young adult only having to spend money on her fun stuff and everything else was being covered by her parents.

      The only reason I don't have stable job is my lack of axperience (so quite empty cv) and quite high social anxiety, but I have few seasonal jobs that doesn't spike the SA and I earn throu the whole year enough money to go by without debts (the only minus is not having retirenment funds, but in my country it's not guaranteed even if you work most of your life while paying the retirenment taxes).

      It’s part of the BAH bonus that you get as a couple to pay for housing. If you’re a service member and you divorce, you lose that, or a portion of it depending on your rank. You have to be married for 10 years minimum to get any sort of alimony.

    - began adding additional payments on the home
    - have no major debts except the home & an interest free car payment
    - haven’t spent money on DoorDash, UberEats, etc. Since January this year. Last year we went from ordering 2-3/week to *once* every 4-6ish weeks, usually picking it up ourselves to save on delivery fees.

Everything went on the card. Learned my lesson. Lease car ended, and I didn't get a new car since I work from home (sucked the big one), cut my cable, cut netflix and Spotify, only home cooked meals (this was the worst 😅), rented out a room in my house for extra income. Im officially debt free as of this month. Before I get a car, I'm going to build my emergency fund and pad my checking account.

    Financial good news for me so far this year is getting a new job. Same pay but lots of overtime opportunities at double pay. A little closer to home (was driving an hour each way for the old job). I’m saving $500/mo by not having to take the toll roads everyday. Saving $150-$200 on gas monthly. Way better and more affordable benefits + 401k with match and more PTO. I have way more time in my day now to make moves on side gigs. & that is just the financial upside. Mentally, physically, emotionally a better fit for employment + more quality time with my daughter. 🥳

    In my opinion, this is another adult who is just being enabled by her parents and even society. Enough of the victim mentality, at what point do we keep treating adults as little kids and not start holding them accountable for their place in society, and their actions. To be a fully functional and responsible adult without relying on parents entirely. This air of infancy and babying we have created is not helping the younger generations grow up. The worst thing you can do is give everything to your kids and them never experiencing the consequences of their actions, it hinders them and sabotages their maturity.

      I have nothing against parents giving "everything" to their kids. For many people that is their financial goal, to be able to pay for their kids' college, help them with their first house, etc... The issue is that the "kid" receiving all those things should be a functional adult who understands the value of what they are getting.
      We have a huge issue in society with adults who think that they should have been taught in schools how to "adult". There is a dominant mindset that promotes the idea that you can simply block key stages of life because kids need more time to think, or adults need more time to learn "adulting". This is, of course, extremely stupid. Time does not stop just because we wished it did.
      The years are going by, and we have lost a generation that is now in their 30s who is still complaining about "adulting" and not having enough for a downpayment on their dream house, all while sipping on a frappuccino and waiting for their Temu order to arrive.
