| I am currently 19 and live at home as well...I attend college very close to home, my commute is basially 5 minutes long. I probably will live at home until I graduate. No sense in paying for an apartment when I can live at home for free and save all that money for rent/food/utilities. Putting some money into a Roth IRA is also a good idea to help save up for a house.
Do I feel dumb at times...yes you bet. But then again, my friends who live at college are without jobs, their parents pay for rent and food...so you tell me who looks dumber at the moment. I attend school full time, work 30-35 hours a week and pay for everything I have.
Enjoy the time at home and I hope you enjoy the apartment as well...it should be fun for you to get away from home. Good luck to you! |
