The snow, rain and freezing temps have been relentless, and those conditions don't mean great things for the crops trying to grow in that region of the U.S. Wonder what that means we'll pay more for in the grocery store soon!

[Poll] http://wcrz.com/what-age-should-kids-be-financially-independent-poll/ http://wcrz.com/what-age-should-kids-be-financially-independent-poll/#comments Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:19:53 +0000 Erin Bishop http://wcrz.com/?p=73866 Parents, at what age do you think kids should be finally independent? According to one study, the majority of parents think kids should be finally independent at the age of 22.

Unfortunately because of the economy more kids are moving back home, therefore becoming more financially dependent on mom and dad. What do you think? Take our poll after the jump.

Want to know the actual figure calculated by the USDA?  You'd better be sitting down when you ease past the jump.  Seriously, brace yourself as you click "read more."
