I live kind of in a multi-generational situation.

We have five acres, and it's me, my sister, and parents.

And I was wondering, I recently started a new job making about 1,400 a week.

Currently, no debt, anything, cards paid off.

But in trying to figure out how to, I've had credit cards before, so it didn't go well so I don't use credit.

Just trying to figure out where to go from here to get out on my own and just kind of start building to be able to retire by 55 if I wanted to.

Okay.

Well, let's take the first step of moving out of your parents.

I think that's a great first step.

So we would say that your rent or mortgage should be no more than 25% of your take-home pay per month.

So, you know, we're looking at you for, you know, probably around, what, 1500-ish?

Can you get an apartment in your area for that?

I could.

Okay.

I'm not ready.

I don't want to immediately move out because I don't need to.

I'm more than welcome.

It was shut up this way so that I'd be

able to live there until I'm ready to buy something. Okay. Well, how old are you, Ian? Currently

35 and 20s kind of messed things up. But you don't think it's time? It's fine. It's fine.
