23/ anxiety over bills and finances
Hello. I am 23 years old and soon to be 24 (F) living at home with parents after graduating in the summer and working an entry level legal job (law degree at uni). I am severally paying with my mental health while living at home- to the point of emotional abuse. I have to withstand this as I am not in a position as of right now to move out. There are some things I planned to get while at home- like laser eye surgery I have booked in and the cost is around £2000. I am in a bad position financially and wondering if I should save that money towards my moving out fund or go for the laser eye surgery. Everyone that has it doesn’t regret it but I am also afraid it will set me back on my goal to move out. I also have tons of bills at home mostly coming from my car and if I moved out I wouldn’t have that either. I guess what I am asking is - do you think it’s better to spend money presently /invest in yourself and withstand the mental health price of living at home. Or save every penny I can and move out ( and potentially be super broke) but at least life will be livable again?
I know this sounds a bit silly and I don’t care. No sassy responses please.
I have had really bad financial anxiety ever since my teens since i grew up poor so spending on a big thing like laser eye surgery for me is a lot of money.
any advice or just general life advice is welcome - particularly around the price of investing in yourself.
