As a single 27yr old woman, I am considering leaving my apartment in TX to move back home to WI, to start my own business. I just started the work force about year 1/2 ago and I realized that I do not like the corporate bull that you have to endure inorder make a dollar. I know that its not always like that everywhere you go, but there is some level of crap you will have to deal with, but I dont think its worth it. It makes sense to move back home financially, but damn I will loose so much indepence moving back home with my mom. You know, walking around the house nude, cleaning when you feel like it. Its a trade off I guess. What would you do? Did I mention that my new bedroom would be the living room..lol Am I crazy for even thinking of moving back home?

You're definitely not crazy. I think it would probably help you stay financially stable while you deal with all of the start-up costs. AND it's probably a good thing to surround yourself with people who live to a schedule like it sounds your mom does with the cleaning. Seeing others living to a schedule, even if it means limiting your freedom, could probably help you stay focused and motivated - even if it's only motivation to move out of the house!
However, if you think that you won't be able to move back home without having the same hang ups you had with your mom when you were a teen, you should probably not move back home. It wouldn't be fair to your mom (she's already raised you and doesn't need to go through it again) and you would drive yourself nuts and all that money you would be saving on rent would cost you in stress, which you'll have enough of if you start your own business.
Whatever you decide to do - good luck and don't give up!

That would all depend. I live with my parents because I have a daughter and I can't afford to live in my area on my own. Wages here just don't come close to prices of rent. I happen to get along great with my parents, and I really couldn't do it without them. I had been sharing a room with my daughter for years, and they just created a room for me the beginning of this year.
It is a trade-off. Especially if your room will be the living room. That would suck. Could you maybe share an apartment with a friend or a house with a couple of friends? I believe it's important to follow your dreams. If you're focused, living with your parents would only be temporary.
Good luck!

I am not sure starting your own business is the right thing for someone wanting to get away from bull. I think you will have more frustrations, at least till you get established and grow to the point that you can delegate the bull to an employee, but at least you will be in charge of the bull, unless you move in with mom, then there is no escaping the bull.

you will have to simply weigh the pros and cons,,,,, and wow less rent is a big pro!,,, be an adult, discuss issues with your mom, if you decide to do this,,, a cleaning schedule,,,, what you will contribute for rent/groceries/utilities, make it a win/win situation for you both,,,,,, and stay focused on your plans,,,, the living room isnt so bad,,,,, yes on the one hand you will lose some independence, for minor things, if these things are not your main goal right now in life,,,, having a bedroom/running around nekkid,,, then you are not losing much,,,,,, it can work out great for you, just be respectful, and thankful,,,,, use common manners in interacting with your mom,, as one grown up to another,,,though yes she will still probably "mother" you,,,, my daughter is choosing to live at home while in college, after considering the finances of it all,,,,,, it is working great for us,

is the cost of living cheaper in wis? maybe you could find a small apt. there instead of moving in with mom. it'll be pretty hard to give up some of that freedom. especially if your living in the living room.

Why can't you start your business in TX instead? You can get small business loans to start up.
