I don't get the feeling S&S is chomping at the bit to get out. I think she is possibly a bit too attached to her dad. I don't mean to suggest being close to one's parents is a bad thing (of course it isn't), but I think there is maybe a bit too much dependence here. Of course, it is her life, and her choices, not mine.

I personally think she is pretty well established in a career, and has been at it for some years now, so it isn't really a case of spending a year or two post college. If I were in her position, and with her income (which is a lot more than I realized a teacher would earn), I think I would seriously look into a townhouse or something that would not involve a lot of outdoor/building maintenance, but still give the independence of being in my own home.

ScrimpandSave is a smart cookie, and I'm sure will make the right choice for her (which only she can know).
