its ok to live with your parents as a stepping stone. a temporary solution and you're working towards something better using that to stack chips.

if you're over the age of 25 and have never lived alone or moved out of their house you're in the danger zone. that's the point where you end up working the dead end job that doesn't pay enough to leave but keeps you going if somebody else is paying the bills.

to me that's the age where if you haven't established something you're on the path to being stuck there. hell i say by 23 if you aren't close to being finished with college or working a job where you can support yourself try and join the Navy or the Air Force and get out.

:whoa:
not one of these 6 figure dudes on here, but i make enough where i can put around 1,500 in the bank every month and still live in the life i live now, even after bills, food, insurance etc.

sorry im not indoctrinated to feel the need to put 900 - 1,300 into the hands of a landlord because of what others may say.

you might be the exception to the rule cause from what i understood you live there but they aren't all in your shyt.

when i lived with my parents in their house i had to follow their rules. if they said they don't want me coming in at 3AM i had to leave early to go home. i'm damn near 30 now. what the hell do i look like living in the same living arrangement i had as a child and following somebody else's rules for when to come home or bring people over?

for most of us living with our parents means we have to follow some type of rules or compromise to do things their way.

Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho
everybody has their own path breh. My parents are cool so living with them aint no big deal. Its mildly annoying sometimes but its better than having absolutely no money to spend on anything or not having enough time to do anything other than school/work everyday

Not judging at all....that just wasn't for me. I just happened to know at a young age what I needed to do to get to where I wanted. I'm definitely an outlier.

I'm sayin'...

Everyone struggles when they move out. That's part of life. I know the economy's fukked, but most of you sound like you don't even want to move out. :comeon:

I couldn't wait to move out and when I did, there was no chance I'd ever go back. Even if things were HORRIBLE, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to do that. I'd find a way somehow. :manny:

That's what shocks me about this thread. I can understand people not moving out because of finances or family matters, but it's mind boggling to me that somebody could have a well paying job and not want to leave.

You work hard all day and then you choose to go home and live under somebody else's rules :what:

Lol, some of you nyggas need to come to the D. I own 3 houses and all of them were liveable when I bought them, I have not payed over 3,000 for any of them thru the auction. Im in the process of selling 2 of them and I live in one of them. The one I decided to stay in is the house I grew up in (nice ass brick house, big ass basement and I know for sure the roof and piping has been good for years). There is some nice ass houses going for 2,000-3,000 here, the only thing is some of them are in bad hoods, my block is nice, all old people lol, nyggas should try to come cop some of this property up here.

23 and live at home.

Apart from the odd annoyance, i barely even see my fam that much tbh, they don't get interfere with my life, i pay a criminally low amount of 'keep'(or rent) and get all of my clothes washed for me n shyt, i'm good for the moment:yeshrug:

I may be generalising massively here, but i kind of get the idea it's slightly more socially acceptable to stay with your parents longer in the UK than in the US. That's the impression i've got anyway.

I love how the people

1. who are out are out there "independent" while living a slave life ("stacking paper" = working a lot, just to be able to live on your own, and the cycle will never stop)

2. who are in the parents homes, are always living in some 10,000 square ft. 3 floor mansion or something.

what about those caught in-between :sadcam:

there's no shame in staying: this is just an american thing where most parents dont love their children like they should and want them to get the fukk out as soon as they can, then the child-parent relationship is the equivalent of some distant relatives you barely see, instead of the close relatives you are

And my mama has a big ass ranch in Warren that I can stay at whenever I want. I love my fam so I stay at my mama crib all the time, I jtst cant live in that mothafukka, at a certain age you need that space. I got high quality bytches out here, the fukk I look like telling them to come see me at my mama house lol.

It aint about finances or independency, its about comfort. I aint comfortable without my own shyt. I have worked and/or grinded hard for these last 5 years, aint no way I can still be at mama crib.
