10k??? Really dude??? Now we have blown through 15k this month, but we earned it... We also upgraded everything and won't need to buy much more for quite some time... Jason paid for his camping trailer, now he can go fishing and not have to pitch a tent, at least not the literal kind of tent, the other is still going to happen, lol. We mostly live wonderfully off of 1.5k to 2k a month... Some times more, but not near 10k. I mean, if you live in like California, or Manhattan New York, you may need that much, but into that many places need that much.
But to the OPs first question, I moved out when I was 18, to go to college, and have never, nor will ever, go back again.
Jason moved out when he was 17 and started college, and only lived temporarily with them while buying a new house... And now he is 41... Oh and it was only for two weeks. So thats not really living there, more like visiting.
Everyone over the age of 18 or in some states 17, and still living at your parents, unless you are going to college and paying your way, taking care of a disabled parent, or are disabled yourself, get a job, get a place to live, and get out of your parents house, not only will you be happier, so will they... I mean, not having to pay for your shit, yeah, its relieving to them.
Now I can understand if they help take care of your bills, but they deserve to have sex and walk around the house naked too... no matter how disturbing that image is... LOL.

In order to be content in the USA you will need at least 10k a month to be out on your own and not struggle and have spending cash for a little bit of fun every now and then.
It's possible to pull 10k a month with internet marketing, I have yet to do it, my biggest haul was 2 grand over the course of a summer using PPC, so it was about $700/mo at its peak.
I'm still trying to find the best way to do it, my goal is to pull $200-$400 a day.
