In a way i agree with fuzzy where if you have the choice don't. but probably not for the same reason. I wish what i would have done if i had the option was to stay at home and work. collect and save money. It was hard going from no bills to rent, electricity, phone bill, internet ect without having shit saved up. it was living paycheck to paycheck for awhile. but if you don't have the option of staying at home as i did then all i can say is keep a decent paying job steady. pay bills on time, don't let that shit pile up. but try to have fun too because the stress can eat you alive. im not trying to scare you from moving out because it was a great experience and made me grow up really fast. just be ready for what life may throw at you.
