After talking to some of my friends from back home, I've found that that my burning passion and desire to be financially independent from my parents is a Very Rare Thing. A lot of my friends seem to be fairly content with living at home or taking handouts from parents as long as they can. Many people dread the time when they will have to leave the protective confines of the ivory tower of university of academia and (shudder) get a real job.
Perhaps I have taken one too many blows to the head, but to me, such a thing is very desirable. I loathe the trapped feeling in structured educational systems, and love doing something and getting paid for it, rather than the other way around. On my track to establish complete financial independence, I have realized that not only is a Very Rare Thing but it is a Very Hard Thing as well. But for me, I relish the challenge, viewing it as an opportunity to prove to the high school I went to that I actually could become successful.
But then again, I could just be absolutely nuts.

The problem with financial "independence" is how you define independence. I've been living without the need of support from my family for a few years now. Of course, I'm in debt. So... there you go.
