I lived with my dad for 5 years while attending law school and starting my career. Now that I've moved out, I miss it.

I lived at home with my dad while attending law school, and moved out last year. Now, I wish I hadn't put so much pressure on myself to live alone.

KimberMarie Faircloth lived with her father for five years while attending law school and starting her career. She now misses living with her dad despite enjoying her social life after moving out. During her final year of college in 2018, her mother fell seriously ill and passed away, making her decision to return home a blessing in disguise.

She eventually moved back in with her father and his dogs during her law school years, which allowed her to save on rent, create an emergency fund, start investing for retirement, and pay down her student debt. KimberMarie now realizes that living at home was one of the best decisions she made and that she didn't need to be entirely self-sufficient to be successful.
