I'm 20 and I dont live at home but my parents still pay for my share of the rent. I pay for food and other bills. My brothers school was much more expensive than mine so they're making up part of the difference by helping me out. I am very thankful that my parents were able to save enough money to provide for both my brother and myself. I'm going to be at least partially financially dependent on my parents for at least 2 more years. I'm still not sure how I'm going to pay for things while I'm in grad school, but I have a very financially stable boyfriend who by that point may be more than a boyfriend.
