So my family is moving up here from Kansas in a little bit. As the plan goes, I am to move in with them. I really don't have a problem with my parentals and I'm real close with my two younger brothers. So here's some pro's and cons so to speak.
Pros
1) I get to be with my family.
- Obviously this is a plus. No more of me being completely lonely most of the time (when I say most, I mean all the time).
2) Cheaper living costs?
- If/when I do move in with them, I fully intend to contribute at/near what I am paying for my apartment. But I could potentially live better.
3) Better TV
- No more of those "Crap! I don't have that channel". :)
4) I can get my stuff
- My beloved hobby grade RCs, my dead weights (pumpzor teh ironzor!)
Cons
1) I get to be with my family.
- They will drive me nuts with stuff (sloppy things, lazy on things, etc).
2) Perception
- "What? You live with your parents?". I'm never one that really cares what other people thinks but I am trying to get my life started (find a partner and settle down in the future). Living with parentals could be a step in the wrong direction. Don't get me wrong, I am completely independent of them (I really like it that way) but as they say, circumstantial evidence > actual evidence.
3) Food
- There will be an abundance of food. I have started eating less and less since living on my own (partly coz I have to pay for it :p) and I think I've lost weight. Which is a good thing. Hmm! Control!!!! :o
So I don't know. I will probably move in with them. I asked them how much did they want me to put in. They said no need. All they asked was for me to give my brothers pocket money and save my money towards an MBA and car payments. I haven't said anything but I have to clear my conscience and see first (I refuse to 'feel' that I'm free loading).
At least in a house I can be noisy again. I can't wait to finally be able to 'listen' to music again (and not whispering).
Also, I can have a half stack. ;)
