Ditto. I had a job lined up before graduation, and ended up living with my parents for 2 months before I started work. My parents were better off than yours, but I started pretty well myself. I had the money for the suits I interviewed in, a couple months of rent, some starter furniture, and my living expenses during that time. Of course "post-college" is a key phrase. I wouldn't have been where I was if my parents hadn't paid almost all of my college expenses and bought me a car a couple years in. My mother had similar help during her college years, but my father didn't, and the two of them provided a similar boost to my 2 siblings, as well.
