Thinking of quiting job and career, moving back home.

*deleted message

that's absolutely brilliant that you have a house and a good career, i'm your age and can't seem to make enough savings for either a house and have struggled to hold down a decent steady career because of my own limitations and lack of self-belief so you're already ahead of lots of people in that regard. This means that i'm not exaclty looked upon with much respect by potential friends, girlfriends, family members as someone such as yourself would be respected for progressing in those areas. I'm sure moving back home is a great idea if it gives you time to recoop and to look at things differently, if your parents are ok with it then why not. lots of people do it now because of the state of the economy has scared some people out of mortgages.

Sometimes people need to take some time out and take a step back to evaluate their lives and figure out what they really want.

So, if you feel that you need a change- something isn't right and you've exhausted your options; perhaps a change of pace is what you need?

yh it sounds like u have been very successful so far, i dont think u need to take advice, just do what u feel is right for urself, being happy is more important than working a job that stresses u out to much

That's a huge step to take it on once. Quit job, selling the house and back to live with parents. Believe me, u'll free a reliefe in the first hours u leave all that behing but you run the risk that you might miss that all. You may regret not to have a Gfriend, but u'll regret more to don't have that and a job or a house and living with your parents.

I understand, I respect and I'll for sure support whatever the decision you take. But if you get to have the opportuinity to get some kind of long holidays would be much easier for evaluate your decision. Take a time, but not to long. Btw you have achieve a lot for all the problems we have, U should be proud of you!

If you hadn't yet make a move, I think there might be a few things you want to think about.


House- If you were to sell your place off now would you be losing money? If you would, I would suggest perhaps you would like to ask your parents to help you with the mortage (I am asumming you are under one now) till the market improves and you can sell the house at least at the price you bought it for. After which you can also repay your parents what you owe them without yourself losing money.



As for quitting your job and moving back home to your parents I wouldn't over think it. If you feel the break is something you really need, just go for it. When you are at your parents perhaps take up a hobby, learn a craft or volunteer and you could add then in your c.v when you look for another job say a year or so down the road. I can't imagine why a future employer would see a reason not hiring you if you are just taking some time off for your own personal pursuits.

. I've been focusing on my mental and physical health a lot more lately.

I'm 29 years old, single, and feel burnt out in my career. I have a decent paying job, with a house, what more could I want, right? Well, my social phobia issues keep me from flourishing and I'm an introvert so I don't meet many others and have terrible luck finding a mate (well no luck at all really). That itself is depressing.

Strange...this kind of exposure actually helped me overcome alot of my SA. Do you think that withdrawing to your self and your parents will help overcoming your SA? I dont believe so...Sorry but i see that as a step back in life. My advice is for you to ponder deeply what you want to do because you ll give away alot of achievements that you should be proud of. Just dont rush into this kind of decisions, thats what i say...

If you get along well with your parents or are at least alright with them, then why not? Apart from just your own concerns, your parents may like having the additional company. And you've some experience and can get another job later on if you want.

First, good on you for having a successful career and for owning your own home. Regardless of whether or not you want to get out of the rat race now, it's quite impressive that you have done so well for yourself, as things like that are definitely harder for people with anxiety to accomplish.

Second, if you are in a position where you might lose money if you sell the house right now, then maybe you could consider renting it out for a year, if rental income would cover your mortgage. That way, you could get a renter in your house for a one year lease, and then you'd have a year to get your things together and really think about what you want to do. And if after that year you decide that you want to continue renting your house you could do that, and when the housing market turns in a few years, you could sell your house at a decent price and not risk taking a loss on it.

Just a suggestion. That would be a very big move to quit your job and move back home. Personally, I am 24 and I have a good career and I am looking to move out of my parents home. Honestly, I feel like a young kid in high school a lot while I am living at home. Like, I feel like living on my own would let me mature a lot. But if you get along fine with your parents and they would welcome you home, then that would be a good opportunity for you to get things together.

I agree with this advice. Think of all the people who would love to have any job . You are way ahead of the game now. I see a move back to your parents as untimely and wasteful. Financially you could undo a lot of good you've already built up.
I just don't want to see you have regrets that's all.just my honest opinion..
