The more I think about it, the more I feel like the Western idea of having to move out at 18 (or even your early 20s) is crazy.
I can't imagine living on my own with the amount I'm making right now.
It just seems much better for both sides financially if you stay with your parents for at least a little while longer after getting a job. That way, both parties get to save a lot in living expenses. It's a win-win.
I get that the point is independence, but also... in this economy?
