College is a time of social freedom, exams and going out weekly. So, you might think after your three or four years in college that you are fed up of living at home - well hold that thought right there. Straight out of college you will most likely be doing an unpaid internship or working at a lower salary than most, so, you don't shoot yourself in the foot. Here are a few reasons Why You Should Live At Home After College.
1) Save money
This is a good time to get your savings in order. Save some money while you're at home.
