Yes, you will get paid, but you will also need to pay for health insurance, dental, maybe vision. Let's not forget rent, , mortgage, insurance for that. Then you need to eat and such, so now you have food, utilities. Now, to get back and forth to that job. Need a car, fuel, maintenance, insurance...
What have I forgotten? Oh, how about furnishings and appliances? Like watching TV? Well, you'll need satalite or cable. Let's not forget the cost fo internet access, if you like broadband, that will cost you too. Hmmm..... Oh yeah, now that you're on your own, isn't it great that you can stay up as late as you want and do whatever you want? Sure it is, until you drag your backside into work 2 hours late and find yourself without a job to pay for the aformentioned.
So, what Bilge was trying to express, I believe, is that you should enjoy life while you have some freedom. Moving out on your own is not as liberating an experience as you might think it to be.
