Could live in a cheaper neighborhood. I see a $80k 1bd on Bolton St right now in Pelham Parkway. I wouldn't exactly be looking at expensive options if I were making low income.
Don't feel bad at all! Family takes care of family. If staying with your Mom will help you save and get back on your feet, then I say go for it! Good Luck!
Do what you have to do in life to keep your living standard up, but make sure your action doesn't create problem for others. If I had no choice and in a bad situation, and if moving back home is the only option, I will do it, but I will try to make progress.
Don't worry about sex for now. Save up lots of money, & enjoy the time with your parent.
I agree! You get time with family and a safe environment rather then renting a room from someone who could be nuts or have a bad living situation. That stress is far worse. Regroup, enjoy the break and start planning. Many working adults don't get the time or support to do this at all. No negatives here if you have a good relationship with family. Dont worry about the dating thing either. Worst case scenerio go over the dates house or get a motel room. All good.

I second that. Work hard. Be smart. Save up. And then move out with a nice, little nest egg & marketable skills. That way, when you do move out you'll do so with confidence rather than desperation. Also, if you get along with your parents, enjoy and cherish the time you have with them because days like that don't last forever & you'll find yourself looking back on it with good memories when you're older, married with kids of your own.
Thanks for the advice. If I decide to stay in NYC, I'm definitely gonna buy a Mitchell-Lama co-op or an HDFC apartment. It's funny how some dudes in their late 20s or early 30s manage to get plenty of women while still living with their parents. I wonder if that only works in the hood.
If they know that you're living with your parents temporarily until your finances improve & actively working towards that goal with a plan as opposed to someone just taking advantage mooching off their parents and refusing to grow up, I can see how it won't hinder one's dating/social life.
