Trust me buy it now! You will never live cheaper than when you live with mom and dad. I would live with them as long as you and they can stand it to save up for when you move out. Im amazed at how much money i seemed to have when i made 10K a year when in school etc. I make $60k now and due to all the things you have in life it dosent seem to be as much as when i was in college partially under others wings still. I bought all my own chlothes gas fixed things myself and paid my insurance. But being out on your own there is food, gas, power, cell, cable , i net, house health ins, home ins, taxes, car ins, truck maint, trk payments if u got one (i have none) taxes on every **** thing like boats etc. I think you need to make $100K in todays world to seem like you are well off?
