I've been at home a couple years and I've been working during that times so i've had the fortune of avoiding bills and such so as a result I've managed to make up a significant amount in savings.
My logic behind this was that if I'm moving out I'd 1. Want to live in my own property rather than on rent.
And 2. Have enough in financial savings to where I can feels financially secure.
I know so many people who left home at 18 or younger, jumped straight into rent and a basic minimum wage job and to this day they still live paycheck to paycheck and that to me is no way to live.
I imagine what I'm doing now has become increasingly popular among younger people as they see the current state of the world as very unstable and difficult to live in.
I'm lucky that houses in my area are cheap and solid secure work isn't far away. Is this something any of you folks are doing or did you also leave home at 18?
