Well I think that could potentially be me if I chose to live in Toronto. I stress hardcore about money all the time and, as much as it sucks to live here, you're right, I made the smart choice. It's not the most fun choice, but it was smart and a much more sensible, older me will probably look back and say, "It was worth it." I hope. I hope your friend can see that too. Yikes.

I know it's hard living at home in your 20s. Esp. if you're living in a city you don't really fit in. But a friend of mind, who's our age, and also from Cambridge, graduated at the end of last summer from York (and when she was in school she was always working crazy hours and on the verge of breakdown). Now she's working a full time job and two part time jobs so she can have her apartment, pay down her loans, and have a life. She's constantly on the verge of breakdown. She constantly has money problems. I house sat for her and I remember debt collection agencies leaving messages on her answering machine. One of the many times she was super stressed, I suggested to her that maybe she go back to Cambridge for a bit to help her with her finances. She's pretty stubborn about staying in Toronto. But she's stressed to the max and I'm concerned if it's really worth it. I definitely think you’ve made a smart choice. I know it’s hard living at home in your 20s.
