Thats because you're just out of school and arent making much $$.
I lived at home for 2 yrs after I got out of school, and it was fine. Let me do a lot of fun stuff without killing myself on rent every month - I make more $$ now, so it works out ok. Its $700 incl utilities - you can live cheaper, its not too hard to find an apt/townhouse room for $400-500 + utils. But at the end of the month, $100-$200 in rent shouldnt kill you. You just have to keep your other bills under control - I've got one car payment ($250), insurance is cheap ($100/mo) and then the usual other stuff (phone, gym, food, etc).
The only think I miss about ATL is the apt I had there
$1150/mo for 2 people, 1200 sq ft apt with huge 2 car garage, everything new, nice place. Oh well.My $.02. And someone move into this damn room
