I have been working around 25 hours a week (literally the maximum my mom will allow me to work). I still live in my moms house but I am a legal adult (I live in the USA) so she still has control over me. I’m still in college and everyone tells me I have so much time, SO MUCH TIME to save money! Save save save money! But I’ve seen all the posts on this subreddit and I’m honestly terrified of the future. I have a good $1,600 in my savings account. I’ve been putting 80% of everything I earn in my savings. I still feel it isn’t enough. How will I afford a house? How will I afford rent? How will I afford living if all that I see is people manipulating others for your money? I’m terrified. I want to have a child. I want to grow old comfortably. I want my wonderful, beautiful, perfect boyfriend to live comfortably with me. I want life to be happy. I’m terrified of living paycheck to paycheck. How will I live a life of terror? Should I just save 100% of everything I earn and not allow myself to live with the time I have left before money becomes a true aspect of my life? What do I do? I’m scared. I’m scared of living.
