Stay home and save money.Times are different then when I was 26, which would have been in 2002? I moved out when I was 19 and didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of until my 40's. It wasn't for a lack of working or making money, but everything went to rent and bills and I could never save any anything. I finally bought my home (by myself) in my early 40's. I wish I could have had the opportuntiy to save most of my money by living at home.
