Re: Move out or continue to live with parents?
I think you have recieved a lot of undue harshness. People go through stuff like depression, have nervous breakdowns, and are sometimes just emotionally fragile. Most of the guys that have slammed you never have experienced divorce. I haven't either, but have seen the emotional devestation it has caused to several people that are very close to me, so I do have some sympathy.
Though much of the feedback you have recieved has been a "kick you while you are down (and trying to get up)" feeding frenzy, I think the overall point of many (not all) of the posts is to actually try to help by providing you with a kick in the ass. 2+2 is infamous for tough love. Maybe it has worked. I do think moving out is probably a good idea. Playing poker for a sole source of income might not be. It might be best to do the poker as a second job thing. That way you could easily make ends meet, esp if you are a winner at 5/10. Perhaps you could seek out a roommate. If you can, go out on a date. If you can't go somewhere to meet some chicks (or dudes if that is yr thing now). Do something to shake up yr life for the better. Perhaps take a martial arts class to get some confidence. Or maybe you should take some college classes. Write down some goals that you want to accomplish in life. Then go after them with all the ferocity you would go after a maniac lag when you flopped top set.

Re: Move out or continue to live with parents?
Hehe, yah I knew I was going to get lambasted for spilling my guts.
Some more info: I bought my first house at age 20, in a nice suburb, working for a nice engineering company, and then proceeded to get married to a psycho. I allowed her to turn my life upside down, she left me financially and emotionally bankrupt. I spent the first year at my parents trying to work things out with her, and fix up my house to sell, which I did. (This basically saved me from filing BK). After finally letting go of her, I have fallen into the teenage rut of living at home, I deserve all of the criticism. Jobs don't pay anything here in the incredibly shrinking city. I was a MANAGER over 3 MCSE's, and an Inventory clerk, I was making $17/hr. I am nowhere qualified for that kind of position anymore. Playing poker an extra 10hrs/week would more than equal what I could make at a job, even if I wasted 2yrs at school finishing my degree first. Currently I am playing poker 20hrs a week, AND I am rehabbing a house for resale. (I have a partner who put up the money) GoT - You are correct, I am pathetic. Slightly more pathetic than you, but not much. How much passive income do you have? Because really that is my guage of success. How much income does one generate WITHOUT working. If thats above $10K/yr for you then I will stfu. Casino whoring - I whored almost all except the stickies, It distracts me from poker, but I will look into it again Quarter Life Crisis forums are awesome! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Thank you for all of your supportive comments. I am moving into an apartment tomorrow, I looked at one yesterday, and I am looking at one later today, I will pick between the two.

Re: Move out or continue to live with parents?
Seriously if you can't average 30 hours a week you got motivational issues. If you are willing to do the roommate thing maybe you should move out as you will be forced to work or play to eat, that can be a good thing sometimes.....

I was very drunk last night and shouldn't have said that to you, someone I don't know at all. My apologies. GoT

Take care, Matt

Should I move out and force myself to work the extra 10hrs/wk it would cost to live away from home? Or should I stay at home and force myself to work the extra 10 hrs on dial-up and pocket the cash? [/ QUOTE ] I have an even better idea. Move out, and work an extra 20 hours per week.
