i haven't lived with my rents since i was 18.
At 18 i was rented a house and given $125 a week to spend on food and fun. Additionally all of my bills were paid (car/insurance/credit cards/ phone/ Tv/Net ect ect).
I never worked full time or held a steady job until i was 25. Even today i work only 14 hours a week and the majority of my bills are paid by my rents. The only thing i really pay myself is my car note.
I enjoy a relatively middle class existence not provided by myself. Am i proud of this? Not really. Am i ashamed of it, certainly not. Its just been my life. Nonetheless, I'm critically aware of the fact that mine is not the typical existence, it has been relatively charmed, and I am appreciative.
Its funny that you would take exception to it though.. does it bother you that Ive had it pretty easy?
