You just signed out of college. You are scared of how you would face financial life given that it is expected that you should be financially independent within a short while after graduation. Don't fret. Just face it. Apply for a job. At this point, you don't have to wait for the alluring job you have always desired. Just take a job that would fetch you some income.

Don't be in a hurry to move out of your parent's house. At this point, you should decide if you are going to do business or push a career. Save up and fix your life.

I like your last paragraph where you wrote that fresh graduates should not be in a hurry to leave their parents home. This is really good for those that you're living with their parents before graduating there's no need to rush out when you are yet to get a job. life out there is very difficult especially for a person without a job so I totally agree that there should be no hurry to leave the parents house.

The most important thing at that point in time is to have a job and conserve the little that you have you can enjoy life better as you get the job.

As a fresh graduate, you may be wondering how to best manage your finances. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. Make a budget.

Start by figuring out how much money you have coming in each month and what your regular expenses are. This will help you determine how much you can afford to save and how much you need to budget for discretionary spending.

2. Start saving for your future.

It’s never too early to start saving for retirement. Even if you can only afford to save a small amount each month, it will add up over time. You may also want to start saving for other future goals, such as buying a house or taking a dream vacation.

3. Invest in yourself.

One of the best investments you can make is in your own education and career. If you can, invest in additional training or coursework that will help you advance in your field. This will pay off in the long run in the form of higher earnings and job satisfaction.

4. Build up your credit.

Having good credit is important for many reasons. It can help you get better interest rates on loans, make it easier to rent an apartment, and more.
