I’m in my late 20s, and still live at home because i simply can’t afford to move out. I have a full time job, decent pay, but i made some mistakes and only started earning a stable income at 25 plus rent is just beyond fucked where i live. I’m saving up to buy right now, but realistically it’s pointless, i’ll be 32 before i can afford anything. The best option is to rent or buy with someone else. But then how do i meet that somebody if nobody takes me seriously?

Is this a red flag/deal breaker for many women? Can you work around this, like pushing to go to hers on first few dates? How do you handle awkward questions or judgment? Or is it worth it sacrifice my ability to save up for my own place, to have a rental now? Is living with a roommate any better/more acceptable to women?
