Moved out at 16 started an unexpected family at 17 been on my own since married with a kid I'm 23 now finally finishing college now been broke the whole time but always manage to get by I'm not moving back in with my parents ever too much self respect to give up and stay with my parents. It was a shock though growing up upper class and getting thrown into "the poor life" but I always figured if I have a family I am supposed to support it not them. I just take the bumps and keep strong for them. Mortgages do SUCK though
