[quote=Anonymous]I graduated college and moved home with a full time job and enrolled in graduate school. My parents told me I could live at home rent-free for two months and then either move out on my own or pay rent at home. I moved out in a month and into an apartment that my sister wouldn't even visit (it was bad.) I ate a lot of ramen, had to go into my office on the weekends to work on my grad stuff since I couldn't afford the internet, and struggled through to my first promotion that gave me the tiniest bit of breathing room. I would not trade that experience for anything. I developed confidence I would not have found otherwise and learned how to live on little. And yeah, I also knew that my parents would have helped if I found myself in a bind but I never asked them for a dime. I'll be giving my daughters the gift of an education and after that it's launch time. There's a reason that kids today lack grit.[/quote]
