I'm 21, soon to be 22 in May, and have lived at home my whole life.
Life is becoming really absurd (or perhaps I am) and I have been considering moving out now, preferably to another Canadian city. I don't have a stable job but I do have enough savings to live on for a year, albeit very frugally. I figure I could try to find a job once I'm there.
The issues I am dealing with:
1. Relocation issues. How long it usually takes to find a place to rent, things I have to remember to bring that I'm not thinking of now.
2. I don't know how "a day in the life of" is in Toronto (where I want to move to) is at all. Transit? Where are the cheapest groceries? Phone, banking, etc.? Transferring college credits in case I want to go back to school?
3. Telling my family I'll be away indefinitely. We don't get along but Mom in particular is overprotective as hell.
4. Loneliness. I don't know anyone in Toronto.
Your stories, advice, experiences, etc. would be appreciated. I'm a very sheltered person.
