Congrats. I remember how awesome it felt to go out on my own. I think the reasoning for my Dad to charge such an astronomical amount to live with him served 2 purposes...it worked. I also remember thinking while out on my own how cool it'd be to buy a house but shuddered every time I thought how much it cost.
Also remember Dad calling that he & his girlfriend were coming over so Plan A went into action. I got out the little hand held vacuum cleaner & waited. Once they showed outside down I went on my knees & started vacuuming until they were at the front door. Perfect.
That Christmas I got a refurbished Kirby. What a surprise.
