From my personal experience, I can tell you how hard did I find it to do everything by myself without my parents and the luxuries of home, when I moved to this city for studying at 15. I have been living here for 4 years now. And I have set up my Web Design and Development company besides being a full time University Student. And apart from all that, I do dish-washing, laundry, dusting, cooking, paying the house rent and all the bills myself. I must say, all these experiences taught me a lot and are quite the reason behind my success! Nice write up, McBilly.
