I moved out my Junior year of high school (actually moved out in 8th grade too - but moved in with my sister - lasted 9 months). I've been paying rent for a long time. This is why I want a house - better investment as compared to the "freedom" of renting.
ONLY 40K??? what did you do.. I bought the P5, and subsequently the MSP with my current waitering job where I make roughly 12K a year(granted I currently live with my parents...)
Well, living at home makes things substantially easier. Most of my friends still live at home, but - I love living alone. It's alot more work, and very expensive though as compared to living with mommy and daddy.
Still, I have friends who make less than half of what I do - yet because they live at home, they have brand new cars, and go on crazy vacations several times a year.
I'm not saying either one is right or wrong - truth be told - I'll recommend "living at home as long as you can possibly stand it".
got a couple - been running them up and paying them off. Just found out a month ago that isn't good for my credit score. Now putting a couple hundred bux a month on them and paying them off.
