[quote name='CitizenB']A smart person once told me that you don't have to explain yourself to anyone, especially on the internet.
With that said I will tell you a few things most people around me move out when they're 25 or so. The neighbor to my right is 26 and lives with his dad, and a lady down the street is 24 with a child, and still lives with her parents.
My city is the 15th most dangerous in the United States. So if you want an apartment where you don't witness crimes everynight, or have the chance of getting hit by a stray bullet its going to cost at least $500.
Now the min wage in my state is $6.85 which just got raised from $5.15. Almost all jobs start you out at min wage. Also the average income for my city is $26,000, and the average home costs $90,000. 40% of my city in under the poverty line. Most jobs in my city are; factory, farm, or retail.
I'm not happiest living at home, but its either this or live on the streets. I have friends with homes, and apartments but I couldn't live with them as they've just eaten ramen noodles this whole week.
All n all what I'm saying is that I'm saving to move out of state, not to get an apartment. This state sucks major dick.[/quote]
What state are you referring to, anyways?
