I'll start:
It may seem trivial to some, and I know it's a first world problem. However I am currently struggling with the decision to continue living at home until I've saved enough for a 20% down payment on my own house, or moving into an apartment with my girlfriend. I am close enough to 20% that I should be able to purchase a home in the summer or fall of next year, however I am beginning to really struggle with not having my own independence. I have a hard time justifying throwing my money away towards renting an apartment when I am this close to purchasing and being able to build my own equity.
Hoping to keep this a SRS thread where fellow miscers can offer each other some solid advice.

Ah man its my cell phone. Bought a LG G6 last spring, loved it but broke it when I kept it in my pocket when I was loading the generator in the back of the truck. It still works, but voice calls are pretty sketchy. I know I'll have to buy a replacement eventually but I don't want to drop the dough yet.

I have been diganosed with gastroparesis a stomach condition which paralyses your stomach and you cannot eat enough food to gain weight and i am bloated and in pain all tye damn time.
On a completely liquid diet for one month to see if anything improves and main problem is i cannot eat high fat high carb and high cals food which sucks.
Hoping to deal with it and improving my life having a chronic illness sucks assNature is cruel only the fittest survive.

nothing too major but I'll admit it's kind of difficult.
my wife and daughter went to Hawaii with grandparents for a week. I have 2 sons (5 and 3) so i'm having to take care of them the entire time by myself. they're so needy and loud/hyper that it's kind of tough to keep up with it. plus the inevitable spills, getting hurt, etc that comes with it. added to that is they're obviously messy so cleaning up after them is time consuming.
not to mention it makes me unable to go to the gym or do cardio when I want. luckily I talked to their other grandparents and they said I could call them and plan to take them to their house while I go lift so that's cool, except its totally in the completely different direction than the gym.
but hell, if that's the biggest problem I'm facing then I look at it like I've got life on easy mode.Alpha beard crew

Working on a group project for class. We're all spread across the country, coast to coast.
I loathe group projects like this. :/Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.

Finding a new place. Thinking about staging fake ghost sightings in an attempt to convince someone their apartment is haunted so I can move in.

I'm having trouble getting back into a money saving mindset. I saved and sacrificed a lot over the past two years, and while I still have decent savings I haven't been able to grow it very much in the last 6 months or so because of expenses (car repairs, medical issues) and from just wanting to buy things and go travel to reward myself for all the work I've put in.
I need to get back to saving 50-75% of my after tax income.
You can move in with me brah (no homo)

Whether or not I want to have kids. Consumes my thoughts everyday. I feel like I will run out of time before I make a decision. I can't really see my future and being happy in the future with or without kids. I worry so much about whether or not I will regret not having them when i'm in my 40s or 50s. But I also have no desire to have them at 31, so i don't think that will change any time soon.
