My parents want me to live with them...forever.

I thought of two things...One is to wait until I am done with my schooling. It's not cheap to get an education...I'd rather use my rent money towards school since my parents do not charge for rent.

AND...

I would give it a few years to see how my relationship is going with my girlfriend, and then find a house we could rent out together.

I think getting an education is more important than finding my own place at the moment, and I literally just moved out of state for the first time and that is tough to cope with.
