I cook at home because of restaurant prices and tip culture. Driving everywhere sucks. Everything feels miles away so good luck walking.

    Consider moving to a better city for young people for a few years.

    I don’t have words for how much of a useless boomer answer this is.

      the 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.

          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.

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

          On any day of the week, there are meetups for board games, dancing, yoga, music, etc.

          There are sober “bars”. There are book clubs. There are regular bars and dance clubs. There’s a bunch of churches.

          There’s a lot to do and a lot of people to meet when you’re in a city.
