Still living at home.

I'm 21 years old.
I do 36 hours a week at work at 10.71 per hour so as you can imagine I'm not racking the money in.
I still live at home with my nan (I have a good relationship with my mum and dad) but I have just always lived with my nan all her children left home early so I suppose I've always just kept her company.
All my friends and got partners or kids and have their own place and I feel like I'm failing at life right now. Should I be feeling this way?

Hardly.

You are 21 !
I don't know ANY 21 yr olds with their own place, unless you count Student house shares. But young people who have not gone away to University that I know all still live with their parents.

If you have your heart set on moving out of your Nan's, what about getting a 2nd job and putting all that money aside into a savings pot and seeing where you are in a year or two?

But mostly, you should be getting out there and living your best life at 21, not trying to tie yourself down to housework and parenting so young.
