also short term investing isnt really the best thing in the world so if your plan is to live with your parents for a "few years," if you have to use any of that investment for regular expenses you are failing.
It's also a fact of life that no matter how much you save before moving out, it is going to suck when you realize how much of that money you make per month you don't get to keep, anymore

oh shit
I forgot about my beanie babies
I think they're in a box in my parents basement, I need to go get them next weekend. I HAD ALL THE CATS, MAN. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW

I'd like to add that, at least in my situation, it wasn't JUST moving out. It was also getting a car and insurance for said car and paying for gas and etc.
But in the end, I drive my own ass to work every day, and I don't have someone going, 'WHERE WERE YOU I WAS WORRIED SICK I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD IN A DITCH SO I CALLED THE POLICE' when I come home at 2 AM.

I owned some beanie babies.
I liked to make my Godzilla figurines punch them so hard they would fly to the other end of the room.
This is about all I used them for.
Getting the stuffing beat out by Godzilla figures.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
What types of jobs do you think I could get coming out of college next year with an Ethical Philosophy degree and two minors in Film Studies and Technical Theater? In addition I'll have been an RA for three years and been active on the college radio station for 3 years as well.
Where & for what do you think people would want to snag a great find like me? I've also been looking into law enforcement lately as I think investigation would be right up my alley.
I moved out right after school. And I won't move back in after college.
But my parents still give me money so that I don't have to job fulltime during studying.
That pathetic? I dunno.
Run Run Run on

Pretty much
I get the feeling a lot of people don't know what 'living outside your means' is, or just plain don't have a problem with it.
Even if you save tons, if you have to dip into that just to pay regular expenses then that qualifies as living outside your means and if left long enough, you will run out of money.
i missed the beanie baby train. i had a lot of POG though.
Banned from my elementary school.
i had a pillowcase full
but we had a lot of those like, sawblade type slammers .. THOSE were banned
then all the metal ones were banned
which made me sad - i had a bronze coloured thick metal slammer with a hologam stick of a brontosaurus (back when people still thought they were a real thing) on it and it was my faaaaavourite
i also had all the bloody lion king pogs
t koch: I HAD THAT ONE TOO!! AHHH!
i also had a lot of "poison" slammers. i liked them because they were sparkly.

are you limited by geography?
Not particularly, why do you ask?
helps joe and others to know where we can search for job postings. if you aren't limited by geography it widens the search by a lot.
are you certified with anything? what exactly kind of technical experience do you have? sound boards? lighting? etc.?
my tens of thousands of dollars investments in beanie babies... gone to waste...
Damn, and here I thought that they would continue to increase in value. At least they still have a snuggle worth so I can cradle them and weep at night. Hopefully my mom doesn't hear.

POGs were banned because of the 'gambling' that was involved with the game.
I owned probably a book of pogs, but I never played a game.
Neither did any of my other friends who had POGs.
It was the most useless things.

I dont know why the universal carrying case for pogs was pillow cases but mine was too
a lion king pillowcase
that went with my sheets
oh man the metal pogs were so awesome
Didn't they try to bring pogs back a few years ago??
oh yeah pogs were banned from my school for the gambling reason too. other banned items included gel pens, those feather pens that were popular for a while, and slap-bracelets
God I remember when they banned gel pens, that was so stupid. Your popularity was seriously honest to god measured by how many gel pens you had. I remember begging my mom for them because IF I DIDN'T GET THEM EVERYONE WOULD HATE ME
they also banned gel-bracelets because they heard that they had connotations
(like a black bracelet was for every person youd had sex with, purple was if you'd had sex with someone of the same gender ..uhhh.. all the colours had a meaning, i don't really remember.)
gel pens were never banned from my school! i must've missed that part.

yes my mom did not understand why I needed gel pens in seventh grade, but it was that or become a social pariah.
I sometimes took out my pocket knife in the middle of class to clean my nails and no one batted an eye.
I even showed it to some teachers and the only thing they said was awesome and asked how many tools it had.
depends on where you are. in elementary school I had a butter knife confiscated. at my second high school kids left their rifles in their trucks during class because they had been hunting that morning or something

You've been spending way too much time in the poopfjords
I forgot about my beanie babies
I think they're in a box in my parents basement, I need to go get them next weekend. I HAD ALL THE CATS, MAN. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
personally, i feel like i should give back to those less fortunate than me.
but i do it by donating to shelters
i feel that is a better use of money than a few cents to a random guy. giving money to a shelter helps the community as a whole.
and you don't have to feel guilty every time you walk by a panhandler, because you know you did your part.

There is a feeling you get from barely scraping by that is priceless
