How to move back out of your mom's house

In this economy housing is definitely more of an issue than it used to be. My mom always proudly states that she moved out when she was 17 and never went back. Good for her. That just isn't practical anymore however. I would have loved if that had worked out for me. I moved out when I was 18, but i was back again when school got out for the summer. Then I finally moved out on my own when I was 21. Things went great, and then the economy crashed, and I did everything I could not to move back home. Here I am at the ripe old age of 25 living at home again...So how do we end this cycle of moving out and moving back in to our parents homes again? Well, there are a few different options, 1. quit school and work full time so you can afford to live on your own. You might even be able to do this one with pets. I say this, because moving out on your own is not nearly as hard as moving out with your 40 pound half chow that likes to bite people that get too close. 2. work part time and continue to go to school, and live with a bunch of roommates in a little house. 3. work 2 jobs, and go to school online, and watch as your roommates get tired of taking care of your dog when you're gone, your house falls apart, and your mom gets sick of you bringing your laundry back over like you never moved out in the first place. How do we find a balance? How do we find a way to make all of these things work without the negative side affects, the dirty house, the half-assed homework, and the angry roommates, and lost friends? Well, the truth is, something different works for ever person. So, are you a type A person who has to have everything just so, is meticulous, and gets straight A's? You're in luck! You'll probably be able to make any one of these ideas work for you. Maybe you're more like me though, with 2 jobs, online school, ADHD, and a chow that bites. Don't worry, one of these solutions will work for you too, the trick for people like us, is to have the best attitude we can about everything. People at work will forgive you for having to leave early or for forgetting a little side work if you are sincere, bring joy to the work place, and do show that you are trying, even if you can't do everything. People might rent a house to you because you are charismatic and won them over, over some grump with an amazing rental history, so as long as you don't forget to do your school work, 'cause lets face it, teachers can't be shmoozed that often, you should be just fine.
