Living at Home the Second Time Around - FAIL!

Growing up, I had this "fantasy" that after college, I would be living in NYC, working at one of the Advertising Agencies on Madison Avenue, and living on the Upper West Side in a 1 bedroom apartment overlooking the Hudson River. Instead, I left college after 2 1/2 years and went from job to job, not being able to afford my "dream" apartment.

The article linked above will be appearing in Sunday's Page Six Magazine. I approve the choice of a college graduate living at home with their parents. What I don't approve of is said college graduate living at home with their parents when/if they can afford to start to carve out their own life.

Granted, there are most likely circumstances that may have caused the graduate to move back - student loans, credit card bills, medical issues - but still, if you have the means to move out, DO IT! Don't be like me and wait until you are in your late 20s before experiencing what it's like to dance around your place at 2am in your jammies and grooving to some Lionel Richie! or better yet, eating popcorn or cereal for dinner because it was YOUR choice to do so!
