By notawriter1234.     I was a young and fresh high school graduate living on my own for the first time in my life. I didn’t have much family support growing up to teach me about basic adult knowledge: owning a home, banking, taxes, or even a simple bird’s and bee’s talk. I wasn’t gaining anything by staying, so I had moved out as quickly as I could before starting a trade job my friend’s father hooked me up with.
