A friend of mine recently brought up the point that a large percentage of people our age still live with their parents because they can't afford to live on their own. She and I both live with our parents, and she no longer worries about it because that is the recent trend with college graduates. I feel like I shouldn't feel bad about it either, especially since I still don't have my degree, but I need my own space. It's also really hard to get a job with or without a degree because of the economy, so either way, all of us twenty-somethings are screwed! If you have a job that allows you to live on your own, consider yourself lucky.
