Breaking Apart

[Cbrider]

Fresh,

You need to just step back and take a breath, look around. Don't break up with this guy because you feel financially unequal, you will regret it. Money is a luxury of life, NOT a necessity. Many modern day cultures foster the myth that money is happiness and the ultimate prize in life, its NOT.

You are worrying about something that is more than likely not even crossed your boyfriends mind. Sure your living at home, but its not because you are lazy or have no motivation to do otherwise, you have a DEGREE. That is something most people will never obtain and its very rare that a person gets their degree without dragging loans or other financial burdens out of college with them.

It sounds like YOU are the one that is bothered by this, and you really shouldn't be. On average, a person with a degree will make over a million dollars more in there working lifetime than a non college graduate. Living at home when your 23 doesn't seem so bad now does it?

You have something that most people can only dream of getting, yet your barely old enough to step into a bar and you have one.

Talk to your boyfriend, explain your worries and what you are perceiving as flaws. I bet you he wraps his arms around you and kisses you. He wont see these things as problems Fresh, he obviously supports you in your choices and wants to be with you. If hes been with you for a year, hes not going to leave you because he finds another 23 year old college grad who is living on her own, he will end it because you two aren't compatible.

Talk to him and put your worries to rest. Your life is promising and you have no reason to fear your future.
