well the first thing is you need to get a job making some decent money if you are going to try and rent a house. You want to be able to make it on your own just in case you have problems with your grow. If you are talking about just a closet grow at your mom and dad's house then you still need to get a job and make some money to buy equipment but it wont be as expensive as living on your own and doing it...Telecommunications pays me pretty well but I'm divorced and have to pay child support every month so it is very tough for me to get into this I have friends that are set up pretty well and I have plans for the future just dont know when yet I am saving money....Oh and dont ever get married.......
