>>87234160In America you have three realistic options.
1. Stay at home and save up your money
2. Move out by taking a loan and go into debt with a mortgage
3. Go to college with student debt and move with your job
America is a debt based economy. If you want to put up with debt you can do whatever but if you encounter an older American living at home they're probably saving a lot. The other two options leave you with prettier things but you have that debt noose on your leg at all times.
For the average person its not bad. 100 years ago in these conditions you'd move out and homestead but then you have to deal with garbage internet and services.
We have room but we'll have to make a decision at some point. New cities are on the horizon.
