Hi guys,

While am likely to attract some unsavory comments, I do hope to get some good advise.

I rented a 2bedroom apartment with my elder Brother in 2014 and shortly before I moved in I got a permanent appointment with a Nigerian bank. To this end I decided to stay back with my folks who happen to own a comfortable abode in the metropolis.

I have been in banking for a year now, and although my income is healthy I still live with my folks.

Just recently my Brother got married and moved out of the apartment but our rent is to expire in November this year (I just have to balance N70K).

My mom have been warning me on the dangers of staying alone viz a viz evil landords, wicked neighbor's , bad friends and the wrong types of women (who seem to be my bad habit).

To add salt to injury My friend advised I buy a car instead of moving out.

Now am in a dilemma, cos initially I seemed to ignore these issues but not a day goes by without these issues coming to my attention.

I sincerely seek sound advise from experienced NLs.

Thanks.

Prepare a scale of preference, and choose

You're a man, whether now or later you will still have to move out of your parent's house and those challenges your Mother warned you about will still be there, better start facing them now! Mommy won't be there forever.
Get to know the landlord of the new place, u should be able to tell if he will be trouble or just normal.
You're the average of the 5 people u spend the most time with, so u can iron this out.
Women: (My gender always repping LOL). She's right a woman can crash u o, since this is your particular bad habit I think you should think it over and get a real woman who can stick by your side. The trick is discipline, you may need to adjust ur lifestyle if you're the loose type. It takes a lot building for a solid r/ship but u can do it.
A car isn't priority now. In summary, just check the boxes and move out. Don't forget God, pray about it. Cheers.
