• In all honesty, she can afford to move out of her parents' house, even in a high-cost-of-living city like San Diego. She won't be able to save as much as she's saving right now, and she might still have to live with roommates, but if she has $3,000 left over every month to invest, she can afford to move out. 

  Being 18, she might not feel like she's mature enough to move out of her parents' house, but she obviously needs to do it, if only to save her business from being taken from right under her!

• How is she making so much money from this business if her inventory consists of old t-shirts that have been cut up to make rags? Something smells fishy here.

• She could operate her business from basically anywhere with unwanted clothes, so there's nothing tethering her to this expensive city where her biggest ops are based. Most 18-year-olds start their lives independently of their parents in one way or another, whether that is through pursuing higher education or otherwise. 18-year-olds might not feel ready to take the leap into living independently of their parents, but if they're smart enough to start a 6-figure business on their own, they're smart enough to pay their bills and do their dishes.
