Been "independent" if you put it that way for several years....but, will I move out of my parents home untill I am a millionaire?
Hell naw!
How silly do you think I am?
I'm 22, making a nice living gambling,...don't have to pay rent...don't have to pay for food, don't have to pay for electricity....mom's pays my tuition (I want to be a surgeon one day).
I do have 2 kids though, but, it's not that hard, considering I don't have the same bills as someone who lives on their own has to pay.
In this world, a person should not move out untill they are atleast in their late 20s....maybe 28...and established. Today, society has kids thinking they need to grow up at 19, and get an apt. by the time they're 20. lol. Why?
Bad move if you ask me....this is a tough world. Anybody can mentally believe they are prepared to be on their own at any age...hey, I though I could at 16. lol, but....was wrong. Fight it on your own when you are fully prepared physically AND mentally. That's the only way you'll be completely happy. Who cares how uncomfortable it may get at home as you get older (Especially if you have loving parents that would let you live at home your whole life). Is pride and comfort going to feed you every day? And keep your house warm? And the lights on?.......not in this reality. Ofcourse not everybody's family is fortunate, and not everybody has parents who can afford to do everything....but, I'm 100% sure, that sticking it out with your parents, untill you can 900% stick it out for yourself, is much better.
Go "out there", when you are at a level, where bills are so unoticeable, that, you don't even "remember" paying your rent and all your bills 6 months in advance, .....but you did. lol.
