Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
Depending on your income, credit and savings, have you thought about buying? With 30 year rates around 5% and prices being depressed in most places, it's a buyers' market. NOW is definitely the time for someone your age to be looking to buy (IMO). I don't know if you're in the U.S., but assuming you are, you could get into a place using FHA financing, and with a well structured deal, be in for roughly 5% total out of pocket (sellers are still allowed to pay points and maybe some other closing costs with FHA, I believe). You could even get a duplex and have a tenant to help cover the mortgage cost. And if you go in that direction, you can depreciate 50% of the property on your taxes.
Even if you don't have the credit or income to buy on your own, see if your parents would be willing to help you out on an owner-occupied deal. The way things are now, you'd have to actually work to screw up a straight forward deal like that.
But at 27, it's time for you to fly out of the nest and make one of your own. :wave2:

The whole bit about cooking whatever you want and getting yelled out reminds me of that Tom Green movie "Freddy Got Fingered". That one scene when he is at the dinner table fighting with his parents about eating a chicken sandwich.....Why the hell do I remember that movie anyway!

I have to move also and it SUCKS
My landlords are selling the apartment I live in so there are viewings all the time. As you imagine, it isn't exactly convenient since I work from home and I'm on cam a lot. They have to give me 2 hours notice but still!
And I haven't seen anything I like yet so I know I'll end up deciding last minute. Hope your living situation improves soon

^Thanks. And the reason I haven't moved et is because I wanted to avoid the dama and speeches from my folks about wanting to leave/be away/etc (immature on my part I know, but still).
Where do you live anyway? Down here in South Texas I was renting a one bedroom apartment for $325 a month, that was back in 2001 to 2002 then I bought a house back in 2005 and now I'm paying about $650 per month. How much is the average rent where you live? Around here you can get a nicer apartment for about $400 to $500, and a cousin of mine used to rent a $700 apartment that was really nice, new, and they had a pool and everything, but the landlord was picky about who he let in there, all the people who lived there were young professionals. Personally I would have moved there but I preferred to keep the extra $375 in my pocket (need the hooker money )

I live in Buffalo. Actually, there a studio around here for $600. Yeah it's small, but it includes all utilities and cable as well.
It may be more expensive but damn is living alone worth it. I will not live with another human being ever again:yinyang:

Save up and buy some land and then put a double wide on it.
You are 27. Start saving big time. I don't know your financial situation so can't say when or any of that sort. However, you are 27, within 27 years of life I am by that time you should have an inkling of a spine and be able to stand up and walk out of that house. Just because you move doesn't mean you are going to the end of the Earth, far, far away from your parents. They will get over it. If they do not... well, tough shit. You are an adult and you should be getting out on your own and exploring the world.
Be reasonable. Keep it within your income, affordable setting, and know you can keep up monthly with it and not be too stressed and living paycheck to paycheck each month.
In the end you will be happier. And they should be too. :hatsoff:

sounds good to me you should move in quick before someone else scoops it up
Agreed, I've had friends who were roommates to each other, and it seemed they were always complaining about something the other did. I've never had a roommate. Than again, it's still better than living at home in my opinion.

I went thru this years ago and it was a nightmare. I rarely got any notice at all
Well I'm lettin you know right now, this is your notice. Whenever I arrive...be ready.
