First off, I'm white, from a family that is not well off and I have never had any handouts whatsoever.
I worked since i was 14. Enjoyed almost every day of it. Sometimes worked 30 hours a week while going to high school, and yes I started at $6 an hour for 500 hours.
I'm 20, and I'm getting married in August. I'm 4th year business degree, I paid for every penny of my schooling, car, car insurance, gas, food, clothes, cell phone, ENTIRE wedding, absolutely everything. And yes I am living on my own.
As a pretty young person, many people are surprised to hear that I am getting married. My usual response is why not? I have most of my life figured out, and can definitely survive being married. I think what a woman really wants is security, a hard working MAN, and someone that has proven to be able to provide for her and a future family.
P.S. I disagree with huge families living together. I'm not racist. I work with East-Indian women and it is just their culture to live with their parents and expect their kids to stay at home with them and take care of them when they get older also. Its just the way they are, maybe not all. These East-Indian women work minimum wage in order to afford their kids cars, clothes, and food. (meaning 18yrs+++) Not only that but it causes tax evasion (although it is smart) due to all families being able to pitch in on one property tax. I find it more healthy, and obviously you may disagree with me, to live apart from parents and find your own way in life.
