On My Own
I have to say that all the way through college I was pretty naive to the costs of living on my own. My parents helped out a lot, so between that and student loans I didn't have much responsibility. That obviously all changed once I graduated and got a place of my own. I'm especially surprised at how much insurance prices are! My auto insurance is just outrageous...as well as health insurance. I know these are things you need...but still! WOW! I hope at some point the cost of these things go down a little bit. They really eat up the paycheck.
