Moving Woes
Since I graduated, I can no longer afford to live in my super awesome flat in Glasgow. So I'm moving back home to live with the parents.
Saying goodbye to my flatmate was super sads, tidying the flat is horrible and I'm not looking forward to living miles away, back home, from all my friends and the sociability that came with living near uni. Also moving my stuff is bad. Too much stuff. xD
But, at the same time despite all the bad things, I'll be saving so much money I will become the richest woman. I can learn to drive with all the extra money - improve job prospects and can visit my (ex-)flatmate sometimes! Pros and cons all over.
Anyone else moved away from home recently? Or had to go back to living with the folks for whatever reason? Do you enjoy moving? :3

I'm considering moving, but to entirely different state, CALI. I've been actually seriously considering it for quite some time now. And now that I have a job and currently live with my dad (or sometimes at my friend's place in Manhattan), I can actually save up money to fund that move. I have to wait until my boyfriend graduates as he wants to move to Cali as well and so does my friend. They both graduate next year. I'm definitely not moving down there without at least one room mate who has some sort of money in savings.

I lived in a house from the time i was born till about the age of 12, after my parents got divorced i have been living with my dad since then (cant really afford to live on my own at the moment) and we have moved like 3 times or so.. (i really don't count jumping from apartment building to apartment building moving though). My mom on the other hand has moved about 7 times.

The process of moving is horrible, but overall I love it. I love seeing new places and starting certain aspects of my life over. It's kind of refreshing, especially since I have a tendency to burn bridges every few years.
I haven't lived with my parents, or family, since I was 17 (so about 9 years) and it is pretty nice being on my relative own (I've lived with my girlfriend for the last 4ish years).

I just have so much trout and furniture is heavy enough without having to get in the smurfing Tetris zone to fit it through doors and then place it. I smurfing hate moving. Had to move my trout too many times this year. Never moved house until this year, either.

Since moving out of my mother's house nine years ago, I've lived in four apartments. Three years ago we started renting BJ's grandparents' house, though, which has been nice because I was getting really sick of moving.

Moving back in with parents after having moved out is the worst. I did it for a few months after college and it felt like a failure to me. But I got out of there pretty quickly.
I love my parents, I really do, but I cannot live with them. Most of my friends still live with their parents, and we're all in our mid to late 20s. I think that's pretty weird.
I wouldn't mind moving about a lot more before I settle down and put down roots in one location. It's weird because I'm someone who loves familiarity and once I get accustomed to something (ie: local restaurants), I need them to stay exactly the same forever. But at the same time, I have huge wanderlust. I always have a desire to be traveling and exploring. I would love to live in maybe 4 other major cities before I get too old. Oh and one day I want to live out in the boonies. Like seriously off the grid and not talk to the anybody in the outside world for a few months, just to see if I could do it.

I am like a plant that stay fixed to my location.

I'm still with my parents but HOPEFULLY I can get into my new apartment this weekend. hopefully. Please. This has taken me like three weeks of messing with this nonsense.

Necronopticous and I moved to a new apartment back in March. It was a pain, because it rained like mad on the day we moved (had to wrap up everything) -- and, also, a lot of things went wrong during the weeks prior -- but once it was over... =D
Now we live in breezy El Segundo, just minutes from where we work! Also, I'm so spoiled by the temps here that I don't think I could live any further from the ocean. XD

I'm still at home because all of my jobs have been fixed term contracts, but now I am in a permanent role and hope to be out at the start of 2013 once my probationary period is done and dusted. I can't even comprehend moving! Oh god!
Also yeah if anyone gives you trout about living at home, I always find asking them how much they have in savings makes them stfu prettttty quickly.
