23-year-old Honolulu Advertiser reporter Kim Fassler blogs about moving out of her parents’ house: even if monthly rent makes a significant dent in your paycheck, you ought to weigh that cost with the cost of your sanity, and the benefits of freedom, independence and real world experience [snip]A mature perspective from one so young (we also were on our own at 23, but that was a different era.)
Think also of the benefits to your relationship with your parents. Mom and Dad will want to take care of you as long as they are able. But when you still have the needs of a child, there is a tendency for parents to treat you as such, and that's not healthy for either you or them.
My late uncle told me he envisioned a bright future for his granddaughter, and she’s on her way with a degree from Williams and a paying gig at one of Honolulu’s two daily newspapers. We're proud of you, Kim!
