How I did it: When I finally had the opportunity, and money was the only thing in my way, I talked to my boss and worked out a raise that would afford me to live on my own.

Lessons & tips: If you want it, make it happen.

Resources: Not to be soliciting, but www.westsiderentals.com helped my find my perfect place. I don't ususally like the idea of paying to search for a place, but I split the cost with 2 other people so it ended up being a great value.
