I'm a 24m and finished college last August. I live in Atlantic County with my parents and would love to get more involved and meet new people. I currently work for the General Assembly. Sometimes I feel like my life is boring and I don't really do much outside of work.I I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, camping, going to the beach, and skateboarding. I also like sports, movies, TV, and occasionally going to bars and concerts. I am a Catholic and attend Our Lady of Sorrows in Linwood. I'd be interested in maybe joining a church group as well. Right now I am looking to meet new people, make friends, and be active.

I'm 24m and live with my parents because I can't currently afford my own place at the moment. I have a good job and am saving up. I appreciate being able to stay with my parents, but I can't smoke. I know edibles are an option but they are not the same and I feel like I can regulate the high more with flower and it is more cost effective. My dad found out a few years ago I smoke and he's chill about it. My mom on the other hand is so anti weed she would be pissed and never let it go. I like to smoke at night after I finish my day and can chill by myself. My mom usually goes to bed around 9 and my dad around 10:30. Usually I wait for them to go to bed and just go outside and smoke. I don't want any judgement and just the peace of doing my own thing. The thing is that I hate sneaking around and waiting so late at night. I am trying to take back some control of what I can do while I live here for my sanity. I wish I felt comfortable to just go outside and smoke earlier in the night after my mom goes to bed. I just don't want to have to hear it or explain anything to my dad. People have suggested going on a walk, but even that feels sus. Idk what to do.

I live at home with my parents and can only get high at night or when I have the house to myself. Usually when I get high at night I really enjoy the time to myself, but as soon as I lay down I tend to fall asleep and the high feels wasted. What can I do so I don't waste it or be able to actually enjoy it?

The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat watch for Atlantic, Cumberland, and Cape County and an extreme heat warning for portions of South Jersey. I see that it should reach highs of around 102. I haven't heard anything yet, but I can't imagine the parades taking place in these extreme conditions.

I'm 24m and recently started a new job as legislative aide here in NJ. I make about $2,400 a month. Right now I am able to commute about 1.5 hours to and from work. I am making the most of it, but it is rough. right now it feels like all I'm doing is getting home, eating, and talking to my parents, and going to bed. I feel like I don't have time to do anything else and it sucks. My parents are also getting on my nerves. Specifically my mom, I love her and she does a lot for me, but she is extremely overbearing and treats me like I'm not an adult about to be 25. It's hard to explain, but she brings an air of negativity into the house always complaining about shit that doesn't matter. I also feel like she is constantly judging me and I just don't feel comfortable being there some days. It has taken a toll on my mental health. I have been living with them full time since August 2025 when I finished graduate school. Even before then during college I never really wanted to be at home during the breaks and stuff. My only outlet would be work. Until May I had been unemployed woking extremely hard to get any job, but specifically one in my field. I would work on applications every day with the belief that once I landed a job I could move out, then I would regain my independence and feel better about myself. Last night I was going over a budget for if I was to get an apartment, I came to realization that it would be hard to afford one on my own without basically having no money left over each month. That is if I followed my budget to a tee. I could make it work if I have a roommate. This week I found someone, we have been messaging and he seems like a good fit. He will be starting law school in the fall and llikes similar things as me. We still need to meet, but I'm hopeful. Right now I am really debating whether I should go forward with getting an apartment or just suck it up and live with my parents for another year.

I'm 24m and since graduating college it has gotten really bad. I will attempt to explain my situation. When I was younger I never really worried about money and am so thankful that my parents worked hard to provide for us and we never faced any financial issues at least to my knowledge. In high school I got a job and made a little bit of money. I would take a little bit from each paycheck to spend and then save the rest and I didn't really feel any anxiety at that point. I kept that job into college and would work during the summer and make some spending money during the summer. I would spend that money how I like and never really worry about things like going out with friends or occasionally buying groceries, or even ordering delivery after a night out. I had a good time and felt carefree. I probably didn't worry, because I had a scholarship and my parents paid for the other expenses so I felt comfortable. Since I graduated it has been bad. I still live with my parents and am grateful for that, so I don't have any bills to pay except for my own gas mostly going to and from my job, but these days the thought of spending money really gets in my head. I save most of my money from work and am not struggling, but I will get so in my head about something as simple as going out one night thinking about things like how much the Uber, drinks, and everything will cost even though it is probably worth going out one night and having some fun. Sometimes if I want a snack or to buy food I will wander around the store debating whether I should actually spend my money and either I buy it and then feel bad about it or just walk out of the store. It feels so bad and I don't know what to do.

I'm 24m and am blessed enough to be living with my parents at the moment and don't have too many bills or things I have to pay for in my life. I work a starter job in my field as a legislative aide and it doesn't pay that well, but it's a job. Right now I am mainly paying for gas and a few other things like dry cleaning, multivitamin, and barber. I tend to end up saving the majority of my paychecks just by the sheer fact I don't need to or want to, and don't have a budget at the moment. I feel like sometimes I end up wasting money and buying stupid stuff like snacks, drinks, weed, alcohol, and delivery. I don't do it all the time, but when I do I get instant regret and think damn I shouldn't have spent that money. I want to enjoy life, but also build a mindset where I don't want to spend money and am very conscious of how I'm spending it and what I'm spending it on. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it, but these stupid little purchases add up over time and maybe I could have done something better with it.

I'm 24m and currently live with my parents. I am located in Southern New Jersey and recently got my first career oriented job after grad school. I am fortunate enough to be able to have a place to live and not be struggling during this time, but I am ready to find my own place. As much as I appreciate my parents, we butt heads all the time, my mom causes me a lot of anxiety because she is overbearing, and sometimes doesn't treat me like an adult,. it takes a toll on my mental health. I am looking to regain my independence and some freedom back. On top of that I commute and hour and a half to the office, and I am having to fill a full tank of gas twice a week. I have been searching for over a month in the Camden and Gloucester County area and can't find anything to rent that would be less than at least 40% of my monthly income which is $2,400. I have also been looking for a potential roommate to go in on an apartment with and have been having no luck. I have used Facebook, Roomies, and Sparerooms. All of the people I have reached out either stopped responding after a while, have red flags, or just never respond in the first place. I have even reached out to individuals who have a room for rent and most want a short term lease or haven't been willing to work with me and my schedule for touring. It is so frustrating and I have no idea where to look or what to do.

I'm a 24m professional who just started a new job as a Legislative Aide in Woodbury, NJ. I live in Atlantic County right now, but the commute is about an hour and a half, so I’m hoping to find a place closer to work. I’ve been looking around in the Gloucester and Camden County area and would love to go in on or join an apartment with the right person.

I’m quiet, clean, and tend to keep to myself, so I’m looking for a respectful and low-key living environment. In my free time, I love being outdoors, hiking, skateboarding, watching movies, exploring new places, and checking out local events. I would like to move sometime this summer, preferably in July or August. If you would be interested, let me know!

I have been waiting all week to watch the USA play in the WC. I'm not a soccer fan, but I love sports and rooting for my country. I am a very indecisive person and am having a hard time figuring out what I should do. I'm 24m and live with my parents. I haven't been out to the bar in awhile and would prefer to get out of the house. I don't have any friends to go out with so I would be solo as usual. The only thing holding me back is I don't like spending the money especially Uber. I'm not struggling and one night of fun could be worth it. I also want to do something without my parents. If I stay home I know I won't be able to watch the game in peace or not be able to watch it at all. What I want is to watch the game in peace and drink a few drinks, maybe get crossed. My mom is weird about alcohol and gets judgy about it even though I barely drink.

With the Fifa World Cup starting and Team USA playing on Friday night I am feeling like celebrating America and all that makes it great especially beers. When I think of America my quintessential beer is PBR just because of how iconic it is. I'm just curious what everyone will be drinking to celebrate America 250, it can be historic, craft, or legacy brews from the great USA.
