[quote=Anonymous]I wasn't kicked out but, coming from an abusive home, I new I couldn't stay there.

I was fortunate enough to get a college scholarship and worked my butt off to make sure I wouldn't need to be reliant on my family after graduation. That added up to me spending about half my time trying to get good grades and the other half looking for a guy that could take care of me (because that's what my family of origin modeled, so that's what I knew). I also had a job for spending money. And no real time to have fun.

After college I moved in to a house with tons of roommates, paying $400 a month on rent (still can't believe how little that was). There were setbacks but I kept pushing. I remember not having money for furniture. Or clothing to wear to work. When grocery shopping, I'd only let myself buy bananas because they were the least expensive fruit.

Eventually landed a job as a consultant and things became easier from there. Now I live in a very nice neighborhood and we have what we need.
