Not moving out. In Germany there's still a bit of a stigma around living with your parents past your mid-20s but when I see what's currently going on with, you know, the housing market I'm glad I made that decision. I might have been a bit too lazy as well...

Plus I was able to save a bunch of money because of that, which is gonna come in handy for my move to Australia in September.

    I've accepted that my daughter probably won't be able to get her own place once she's done school. I'm OK with it, would rather she have that option than be potentially pressured into a toxic relationship to afford to live.

    I wonder how your parents feel about that

    In terms of living with my mum? She doesn't mind; I do pay her a bit every month to compensate as well.

    In terms of moving? My dad doesn't care, I have a feeling that he wouldn't even come to visit me. My mum obviously both doesn't really want me to go and wants me to live my own life so she's ultimately fine with it.

    Honestly, living with my mum hasn't been easy for the last year. There's just so much petty drama happening between her, my sister and anyone who they think wrongs them (I won't go into detail but it's bad); so it'll be great to get away from that.

    That's far faaar from my only reason to move to Australia, mind you.

    How'd you get approved for that? I thought Australia was very locked down for immigration

    I didn't get approved for anything yet but getting a 417 visa shouldn't be that hard AFAIK and from there you just have to get lucky and be sponsored for a 482 visa by an employer, after that you can get permanent residency on the 186 visa, after 2 years with the same employer. Aaand from there it's just another year until you can apply for citizenship.

    Pretty straightforward, albeit a bit tedious...
