I'm a millennial myself. My dad is one of those hardass parents. A couple months after I turned 18 he told me I needed to look for my own place. Due to some unexpected circumstances in his own life, he allowed me to stay for another year (while paying him rent).
I moved out at 19 and never looked back. I was making $7.25/hr, going to school full time without financial aid, living in a major metro area. Shit was rough.
I wonder now what kind of parent I'll be when the time comes. My dad was cold but I can't deny that being forced into taking the leap probably made me a stronger/more responsible person.
