Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college?
disregardable@lemmy.zip 7 hours agothe stakes of moving will never be lower than in your early 20s. one of my regrets is definitely not taking more risks, because worst case scenario I literally would’ve just moved back home without any judgement. obviously that’s not everyone’s situation, but it is the average American in their early 20’s situation.

I don’t think it’s about the stakes and more the money that nobody has to move with

kids in their 20s can literally rent a room in a furnished house with a bunch of other 20 year olds. there are jobs in tourism that will give housing and let you experience amazing destinations that our grandparents would’ve had to save their whole lives to be able to see. like yes, it will require grit, compromise, hard work- but the rewards are so much better than sitting around your hometown thinking you have no way to get out. You do! You just have to be willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to fail.

Roommates are still a thing.

How much do you think a room costs with roommates, and how much do you think your job in tourism is going to pay?

I’m currently paying $600 a month with roommates. In a very populated city.
There’s more opportunities in cities compared to rural areas and no matter how you split it, that’s the truth.
