So I pretty much been living on my own off-and-on for the last 3-4 years and honestly, the shyt is overrated. Unless you have a REALLY good paying job, or even if you do, why not stay with your folks and stack up? Especially if you only have one parent, the shyt just makes more sense to stick with them.
There's so many things that you come to realize after you live on your own. But mainly...
1) 90% of your earnings (unless you have a really good paying job) is going to bills, rent, food, etc.
2) Unless your job pays really well, you'll never really have a decent savings
3) Cooking and cleaning for yourself all the time can get redundant unless you really enjoy it or always have the energy for it
4) You'll spend 90% of your time in your room (just like you would've in your parents house anyways), leaving the other rooms to collect dust and cobwebs
I'm not gonna act oblivious, cuz obviously there's a lot of benefits to living on your own such as having your own space and privacy and inviting friends and partners over... HOWEVER, that doesn't or won't happen as often as you would've thought if you're a hardworking responsible individual about their business. You won't have that time and luxury to do all that. Me personally, I hate having company over. My home is my safe haven and I don't need people infesting it. But I know everyone's different. As far as sex goes, I'm sure most ppl were able to do it in high school while you were still living at home, so it shouldn't be that much different. Yeah, you might still have to be sneaky depending on the type of parents you have.. but think of the bigger picture.
My main point is, it would be a lot more beneficial if more black families stuck together and you worked with your parents to own a bigger and better home/apartment, savings, etc. You working would only be additional income. This is how the Indian's, Asians and Hispanics normally do. Don't live to impress others. There shouldn't be any shame in still living with your parents. Especially since your parents are getting older and any/every moment with them could be your last. bytches who say shyt like "I can't date him/talk to him" or "I won't date a man who still lives with his mom" is not the type of judgmental woman you need to be impressing anyways. Cuz 9 outta 10 times she's either still living at home too, or living with roommates or other family (as if it's any different). These bytches come and go, your parents will ALWAYS be your parents. And once they're gone, then you're really on your own and you don't wanna look back and regret not capitalizing on staying with them to get your shyt all the way together. Definitely not to impress a bunch of p*ssy that's not going NOWHERE.
Everyone's family situation is different, but it's just food for thought I thought I'd share...
Why not sacrifice a few years of living the way you want to stack up and live the way you want to live for a lifetime?
