I am in shock too. Do you really think no one in here had to actually WORK for what they have?
At 19, I had a full time job that paid for my rent, utilities, car insurance, ALL other bills, and scholarships/loans that paid for my full-time class load. Perhaps that is the reason I took the stance that I did. From my experience, you CAN be financially independent of your parents at age 19. That is why I have little tolerance for people who have never tried to wean themselves from their parents, yet complain about their current situation. I also have grown up on a strict regimen of "tough love" (i.e. learn life's lessons the hard way...on your own), which is why I am a bit harder than some other posters. I do not apologize for my attitude, but I have apologized to Digital for coming off as cold and insensitive.
