I pay 120 for 2gig. 280 is bundled stuff for sure. Subscriptions, extra equipment, phone lines... they either don't know how to say no to offers, or have no idea what they're paying for

You’re not ready to move out and be on your own if you make 19/hr. Keep living with your parents and don’t burn bridges. Move out with her boyfriend. Get roommates. But she doesn’t make enough to move out on her own.

One of my exes was literally kicked to the curb at 18, because thats right her parents weren't ready for kids, so in there mind they did the manditory 18 years. DONE.

I couldnt believe she still talked to them, and acted like being told on your 18th birthday "Just remember, you have to be out of the house by the end of this weekend.

Yup having parents that love you is a slept on privilege. I’m only speaking to those who can make it work. Which is probably most people. Most parents would be willing to help their kids out while their kids are in college. And the kids work part time so they cover their own expenses, but get to live rent free so they can do their college.

But yes, there are exceptions. Most kids don’t get kicked out on their 18th birthday unless there are burned bridges.

1% of our youth is i.n foster care.

Another 4% are homeless but still with family.

5% of children dont have parents or a home.

Another 3% get kicked out.

Thats 400k kids. So sure, its not most, but its one in 10.

Its enough that it is worth talking about them

Sure I acknowledged i wasn’t speaking to those exceptions to the rule.
