I left home (in a medium-sized town) many years ago when I was 18 to go to uni and then later to find work in a big city.
If only my parents had lived in a big city, I would have stayed at home and saved so much money. Instead I have saved practically nothing. It's just impossible to save when the rent for your 'shoe box' in the city eats up half of your after-tax salary.
