I lived at home for a long time, but had a full time job, paid room and board, had my own car, my own social life, traveled, did my own laundry, helped with the housework, etc.
A person cannot live cheaper than at home, even paying the level of R&B that I did.
There was also the added benefit that there was also someone around. I was not alone anywhere and it is safer being with others than a single woman on her own.
Sure is!
