I have to say that if you were my boyfriend, and I read the following sentence:

Yeah, seriously, man. Welcome to adulthood. No, it's not easy. Yes, you have bills to pay, and they HAVE to be paid. But it's so much more satisfying to be on your own and poor than to have Mommy and Daddy pay your bills for you.
I was faced with a similar choice a couple of years ago--stay in town and find a job or move home with my folks, at the cost of my new relationship. I moved in with my boyfriend of 2 weeks and yeah, we were poor for a year or so and it SUCKED, but you deal with it. Trust me, it was worth it to be with him and to be where we are now versus moving home. Plus, I've shown my parents that I have what it takes to 1) be an adult and 2) be independent. They're much more proud of me now than they would be if I had given up and moved home.
Budget your money, and budget your time--do both wisely, and you'll find yourself with more. Eventually things get better, and you have the satisfaction of knowing you did it all on your own.
