I moved out of my parents into a rented flat at the age of 21. I loved living alone, I'm very introverted and need space so it was great! I had friends over when I wanted, filled my home with lovely things etc. But when I hit 30 I started panicking that I didn't own a property and my future was unstable. Rent got higher and higher and I was SICK of lining someone else's pocket so I made the very tough decision to leave it all behind and lodge in a house with two other people. It's very hard, though I'm saving more obviously. I feel so embarrassed that I'm having to do this in my 30s (I'm 34). I just feel no matter how hard I try I'll never be able to buy a house by myself. There's no husband, no inheritance or wealthy relatives etc. It's just me. Even if I did scrape enough together for a measly deposit it will only be enough for a dump somewhere! Does anyone else feel like they're just stuck?!
