I told my kids, think ahead, plan ahead, because when you hit 18, it's time to move on. It is just my opinion of course, but I feel like if one hasn't been prepared enough to move out and start their own life by 18, then either they failed themselves, or their parents failed them....again...this is just my OPINION..and is meant as such.
It's also geographic. You can make $50,000 a year here and still be struggling to get by. I have a full time job and I can't afford to live much of anywhere that I'd feel safe without a bulletproof vest unless I had two or three roommates and almost no money past what I paid for rent.
