I used the search function and found a few similar posts, but as always, everyone's situation is different.
I have $15k in student loans, and no degree to show for it. I might go back to school someday, but for now I have no idea what I would study. With income based repayment, I could be paying anywhere from $0-$100/month.
If I move, I could potentially have monthly expenses as low as $500-$600 if I rent a room from my sibling in another town. I scheduled an interview for a job in that town which pays $10/hr, but now I'm second-guessing it. Why waste my current opportunity to save money as a young person?
If I stay, I have essentially no bills besides $30 for cell service. Parents are completely okay with this and we get along well, but I crave independence. I could get a job in town earning anywhere from $9-$13/hr (most likely part-time). Stay here, gain some work experience, and save money. That could put me in a position to get a slightly better paying job and my own apartment without roommates (very important to me) once I move out. Cheap rentals go from $500-$800 around here.
Thanks for reading.
