I ' m 19 and currently living at home . I am technically working part time right now , but in the summer I work 56 days a week . Right now I only work weekends . I attend University around 15 minutes from my parent ' s house , so it makes sense to keep living here up until I graduate . Almost every day I think about just leaving here and never coming back , but I think you touched on this it ' s scary . I ' ve got ~$ 10000 saved up and I guess I could live on that for a while , but I ' m worried if I move out my parents will stop paying for my education . If they stopped paying for it I would probably just drop out . After that , I would have no idea what to do . Probably go to college somewhere I guess . Independence would be nice , but for right now I ' d rather live at home for free and get an education for free . It sounds really bad , but after that I ' m 100 % out of here .
