Hi, I'm a 34m I've been living with roomates since I moved out of my parents house 10 years ago, and lately I've been dreaming of living by myself. There's nothing wrong with my living situation, my housemates and I get on well but I want that freedom of living selfishly (as my friend would put it) to not have to be considerate of anyone other than disturbing neighbors. I could play music early in the day loudly (one housemate works late and sleeps until the mid afternoon. And the other works early and is asleep by 8pm. I'm dreaming of it and I want it for myself. However despite working a pretty good job with great pay, I did make some financial mistakes that I'm working on paying off. In four years I'll be debt free. Now the dilemma aside from the debt I'm working to pay off, I'm in a serious relationship thats also long distance, we've been talking for 9 months and dating for 4, however if this keeps going well, I know we will inevitably discuss moving closer to one another and moving in together. And I love that idea. But! I feel as if I need to live alone for a little bit, my worry is, I'll never get to live on my own. So as to not wait 4 years to afford my own space, I'm picking up overtime at my job and doing deliveries with grubhub to help pay things off faster and save up. I want to pay my stuff off soon I'm the hopes of moving out. I'm worried that by the time I've accomplished this goal it would be unreasonable to ask my partner to live separately from me. I keep going neck and forth over whether to accept the fact that I may not be in a position to live on my own before the inevitable conversation about moving in together comes. Should I give up and pay my debts off faster, and just enjoy my current housing situation (it's not bad) and enjoy the possible future housing situation (living with my partner, someone I hope to build a life with) or keep grinding as much as I can as hard as I can and try to make it happen?

Tldr; I want to live on my own, but fear i won't be in a position to do so before my partner and I have a conversation about moving in together?

I hope this wasn't too confusing. I'll clear up anything I can in the comments
