$8 Ramen on a $2,000 Couch đđď¸
Weston had it all⌠except a clue.
Never paid a bill. Never did laundry. Never had to.
At 27, he finally moved out. Cue the â¨$7,700 broker fee⨠and the $300 coffee maker he couldnât afford.
At first, it felt like freedom.
Then the bills hit.
And suddenly, independence wasnât aesthetic â it was overdraft fees and frozen pizza.
đ âThis time felt like failure⌠dressed up as independence.â
Oof. That line hits.
This episode of Mental is for anyone whoâs ever felt behind, babied, or fake-grown.
Because the truth is, your parentsâ love can accidentally hold you back.
And adulting isnât about nice couches â itâs about learning how to respond when it all goes sideways.
đ§ Tap in for Westonâs story â or risk learning the hard way like he did.
Responsibility doesnât mean control.
It means you actually know how to respond.
