Chicago bartender Garrett Collins moved back home to Edmond, Oklahoma, from Chicago to live with his parents and a grandmother.
"When I first moved in, I felt pretty guilty," said Collins, 27. "I felt like I was very lucky and privileged in a way to have the ability to move back in with my parents.
