How I did it: I found an ad for a subsidized housing complex. It took a year of waiting, but I was unemployed and receiving checks from the government, so it seemed like the right time to move to somewhere cheap.

A warning to potential housing prospectors: I still don't have a love life, I still have resentments about my family life (with my parents), and I haven't skyrocketed onto any social scene.

However, the benefits of living alone were not entirely negative. I had to test some things out--- not drugs in my case, or sexuality, which may seem unusual.

I've cultured my idea of being a private intellectual, but I still have my old headache, and its too bad the government is paying the bills.

Lessons & tips: The best program is if taxes are automatic---I shouldn't have to sludge over to my mom's house to pay taxes whenever I'm employed

Resources: A small book collection should be found in every home, but bookophiles don't need advice. Maybe someday books will be created and organized by genetic structures, maybe it is more perfectible than most realize.
