Nowaways, people around my age are still living with their parents. It's now the norm to live with your parents at 25+, especially with this economy. Alot of teens these days just go straight to a part time job after high school. They go to part time school, in a community college. After 4+ years of bad grades and academic probation, they find a job at $12 an hour and just stick with it.
Different times these days, now that I look at what my parents went through. They were adults with kids and had their own house at my age now. I moved out when I was 23. Fortunately I just took over payments on a new house my parents just bought at the time. I dont have kids, and Im still doing the same stuff I did out of high school. My parents were alot older at 26 compared to me now. Mid twenties are still teenagers.

I'm just moving out of my Mom's house, and I am 23.
I tried moving out once when I was 18, and that lasted about 5 months. I was making $6.25/hr and working 20 Hours a week back then.
I fail to see how anyone was ever able to move out of their parents house before they turned 21. Both of my Parents moved out of their Parents house when they were 18.
In San Diego, thats not happening. Rent for my 3 BR, 1200 SQ FT house is $1700...I couldn't even dream of that if I was 18.
