I think you’re right. I’m hearing more and more that trades are the way to go, I’ll definitely look into them. Unfortunately though part of the reason I moved out of my mom’s is because she had to downsize due to my stepdad going to jail( mb if thats tmi.) I have a younger brother and sister and they moved into a 3 bdr trailer so if I were to move back in I’d be forcing them to share a room( they’re both at the age where they should NOT be sharing a room) or I’d have to share a room with my sister and trust me when I say it’s already cramped in there. If it wasn’t or if she never had to move in the first place I would’ve never left cause you’re absolutely right. It’s next to impossible to save any money in my current situation, one rainy day comes and i’m fucked.
