Unless you and your parents do not get along, leaving home is just plain stupid. It makes no economic sense.

Most of the rest of the world has figured this out, but not the Anglosphere. This is why large chunks of land are being bought up so easily by immigrants where I live -- because those with a clue realise they have more financial power by pooling resources. And they do. To great effect.

Meantime the unthinking white males are busy being independent (the irony), wasting money on substandard housing, cars, poor food and parties. Is it any wonder they're generally failures?
