However, driving to college requires gas, which requires money. I did wanted to live the life of a child, but truth be told, we all have to go out there and do things by ourselves, or at least, that's what my mind said. I work near full-time on busy seasons, and am not proud of it. It takes away the majority of my life, and I also go to school full-time. Even though it seems like I post on SP a lot, I do have a pretty busy social-life. But back on track/topic, unless her parents has enough money to fund her til 5x or so, she will probably have to get a job. Most people with a Bachelor's Degree makes anywhere from 40k-50k a year on average, and that's technically not even Middle Class.
D'ohoho, I don't think you realize how kind my parents are. That mixed with the fact that there's only a 15 year age gap between me and them, so it's not like they're entering retirement any time soon. What if they do get into retirement? Well, luckily for me, my grandmother owns this house and it's mine if she passes. My grandmother lives the same life I live, pretty much, only she worked in some way for it. She sits back all day watching her soap operas and browsing her forums while raking in money from her kids who live here (they split the bills to pay for them, it ends up being cheaper than renting an apartment yourself, so it's a win/win situation). On top of that, she rents out parking spaces in the back yard, since we're not using those. She also rents out spare rooms in the house, because it's too big for out family. In other words, I'd be taking her place sooner or later.
I assure you, I'm not trying to gloat, just explaining my situation.
