You and probably a lot of other people aren't going to like this advice, but here it goes... You're in your 20s with a full time job and still living at home?

You and probably a lot of other people aren't going to like this advice, but here it goes... You're in your 20s with a full time job and still living at home? Fix this immediately. Honestly it sounds like you need to learn some responsibility. You have a full time job, but you don't like it, so you're going to quit. You have the parents to fall back on. Maybe a start up will give you responsibility, maybe moving out and financially separating from your parents will give you responsibility. Maybe both with give you double secret responsibility. I'm actually shocked no one has said this until now. Someone having a full time job but still living with their parents (unless for special circumstances) speaks volumes about their maturity. Time to start living in the real world. I say jump in and begin your startup. Best case scenario you succeed and end up doing what you love, worst case you took a shot (hopefully one of many) and got out of a job/lifestlye that is making you miserable.

Well in my defense I only live at home because I am so confused. My parents are nice about it. I can easily buy/rent but the stopping factor is that I don't know what to do. I am located on the east coast, and want to go to Silicon valley, etc. so I see no reason to invest in a 1-year lease or mortgage if I am trying to change my lifestyle! :o

  Based on this reply, it sounds like you want the easy way out. It's time to "nut up and make a decision" (Liz Lemmon). If you want to go to Silicon Valley, go. If you want to stay at home, time to become an adult and not rely on your parents for everything. Maybe you'll tell me it's the smart way out, but it is a compromise I will not make. Yes, you can save 6-8 grand each year by living at home, but you're living at home. I guarantee that your friends that went out and are living on their own are mocking you behind your back.
