Nursing. After I get 1-2 years of experience I want to travel.

I'm sorry I misunderstood. So you would be getting experience in nursing, just living at home. Yeah maybe it would make sense to live at home just for like a year while you get ramped up on nursing. A year will go by super quick.

That is pretty bad pay for nursing. Are you an RN? Move to the west coast. Better work conditions, more money, and plenty to do.

What area do you live in? I have a sister in philly who as a new nurse is making over $40 an hour. Moving may drastically increase your pay, even more if willing to work nights. Something to think about as well.

I don’t want to give more info than I have about myself but it is one of the lowest paying states for nurses. But I feel like no rent would make up for that.

You always have the option of staying at home for a year to save + have experience if you wanted to travel eventually:) Living at home sucks, but the money you save on rent/utilities can help with so much in terms of kick starting investing for retirement + your savings
