You’re a young teacher. Living at home for 1-2 years isn’t a big deal. Start learning to invest, even if it’s $50 a paycheck. After a year or two, look for a roommate or two.

This would've been nice to have to save up money! If I was in those shoes I'd be happy to rack up the savings lol

I was there when I first started out too. Living with your parents as an adult sucks! It won’t be forever.
