That's how it's done. Different people will reach different conclusions on what's important: staying at home with mom&dad or claiming your independence. Oddly, we only started to save when we were forced to pay a decent rate... Somehow free rent isn't an incentive!

My fiancee and I are still in college and getting married in the next 6 months. Once I wrap up my PhD in about a year or so real life begins. The problem is where do you start when you have nothing? Do you move back in with family? Do you rent another apartment, throwing money down the drain as most college students do from 4 to 6+ years? It's really difficult out there and I don't know how some kids can do it straight out of college. Then again the mortgage market was very forgiving a couple of years ago. Now it's coming back to bite them in the ass. Yeah it’s extremely difficult when you’re starting from scratch. My fiancee and I are still in college and getting married in the next 6 months.
