How can you afford to live alone and go to school full time?

I am 23 and I'm haven trouble. I work as much as I can while I'm going to college full time. I even go as far as to have multiple jobs. I pay for my car, insurance, student loans, and most of the time my food. I see all these kids around younger then me and having all this Pulse they have their own apartment, and I just don't see how. Is it bad that I still live with my mom? Can anyone shed some light as to how these kids are doing this?

    textbooks are so expensive. i spent ALOT OF MONEY on mine so far :/ so just a heads up

    chegg.com is really cheap for textbook rentals and if you use PROMO CODE "CC130874" you save more if you decide to use it! i strongly suggest that website.. i used it and saved alot

    They’re probably on financial aid, pell grants etc. I was still living at home at 23 but I was out of college by then. Do what you have to do.

    They are probably doing this for one of a number of reasons such as

    Their parents are paying most of their bills.
    They aren’t as concerned as the should be about the amount of debt they are running up.
    They inherited money from their grandparents.
    Their parents have been saving money for their college education since they were born.

    It is not bad for you to still live with your Mom. In earlier generations, young people often lived with their parents until marriage. They would pay their parents for room and board and helped care for the home. You are making wise financial decisions.
