The Piedmont Triad is a growing area with over 20 colleges, Toyota is building a multi billion dollar factory, and many other jobs coming to the area.

Going from home, to not dorming at college, to still living at home (all in the middle of COVID), to then being a home-owner, seems like I am missing out on the social aspect of living arrangements, if that makes sense.  

College students are abundant in that vicinity and more willing to take on the trials and tribulations that come with it.

He just graduated from college and is living at home saving up for a down payment and I'm saving up for a wedding, but I also make enough to save for beyond how much we intend to spend for the wedding.

My situation is a bit different as I am a recent college graduate and still live with my parents.
