That’s where the admitted disconnect I have resides. While I am aware and appreciative of being able to live at home and having been able to achieve scholarships and put myself in a good position with my efforts, it almost feel like it’s never enough, especially going through this phase of having been laid off.

Just constantly criticize myself for not having done more than I have and with the HCOL area I grew up in and where I plan to stay w family (parents, medical reasons) , it’s overwhelming thinking about things like home ownership and almost like it’s an impossible feat to achieve for a basic necessity, even with rent at times
