Photos by Allison Shelley/The Washington Times Monica Cavanaugh (right), 24, resides with her parents, Stephanie and Gregory, to save money. The freelance writer has her own bedroom and bathroom in the basement of the Capitol Hill home. "It wouldn't work if I were still upstairs," Monica says. The Cavanaughs know Monica is home when they see her car keys on the radiator in the front hall.
