To stay or go...
That is the question that is being presented to me right now. Stay here in Idaho for a few months, build up some finances then go to Portland -OR- pay this month's rent and bills and leave at the beginning of March for Portland?
Part of me is jumping for joy at knowing I could be home in a month.
The other part wants to stay and fight for its independence by saving up funds first, then move to Portland, into my own apartment, with my own bills to deal with...in a few months.
My family makes me irritated, but that's what families do. They're not the ones presenting the question...neither is the new boyfriend either, really. It's me. He wants me home now and I want my independence. If I never live on my own, how will I ever know what it's like having only myself to depend on getting stuff paid? Always living with another person, I've only had to worry about getting my portion of everything paid, that's it, never the full thing.
What would you do?

I suppose it depends how sure you are of your immediate financial situation. If you take the long option of building up funds to get your own place, then you run the risk of something disrupting that plan — illness, accident, the economy.
However, if you're sufficiently confident that nothing like that should stop you then you have that proud option. You can stand tall and declare to the world that you can make it, that you can choose where to live, that you are an independent woman. I think that that must be a wonderful feeling.
I hope this helps in some way.
