So maybe ask yourself, what can you do to help yourself?

Sounds like you've been happy to sit in a rut and wait for things to improve.

I can assure you a lot of us have been there too.

Took me years to repay student debts, had to move back in with my parents when I was 31 to ensure I could afford to meet my cost of living etc.

At one point I left the UK and got employment overseas as there was an employment shortage there and no work here, it turned out that changed my life as I returned to the UK with relevant employment experience I couldn't get in the UK and have had no problem finding work ever since.

Bottom line if you sit there expecting someone to feed you the solution to all your troubles you'll probably never get anywhere. Instead be willing to take a risk and work hard and you'll never look back.

On the otherhand it's probably easier to blame living in your parents attic on other factors, like your friends relationships.

I'm not taking the piss or having a go at you, just hoping you'll open your eyes and realise if you put the effort in you can get where you want to be.

Should probably mention that I'm still in my parent's attic...
...'cos my dad is demented and my mother's arthritic so I've now got 2 dependants of a sort :/ But yeah, I've had a fairly easy start and I'm in a rut but I'm not waiting for or expecting anything.

Besides, I like moaning about stuff.
