I look back, and wonder how my parents bought a house and raised 4 children mostly on my father's pay as a baker. It is a tough economy for young folks now.Sadly, due to the economy, it's hard to move out of Mom and Dad's these days. I was 28 when I moved out. Before that, even with a full-time job as the buyer for a musical instrument shop and before that as a PC tech/system builder, I couldn't afford to live on my own.
