Honestly... living on your own is overrated. There's no shame in living with parents.

What you looking at?
Everyone should stay with their parents to stack money.....but it should be temporary

Living with your parents can causes clashes with them, at a certain age you should move out , mid 20s through 30s and up to 40s or even to 50, then when they get too old to take care of themselves fully I don't see tha problem with moving them in....

No one's "complaining" bro. I'm simply pointing out the benefit of having someone else to do that every once in awhile. So what's the problem?

Not at all there r other factors. Establishing relationships, dating, independence, learning real life responsibility
For a time I originated and closed mortgages for a financial institution.
Talking to some of the applicants, I found that most of the foreign born (particularly Asian) borrowers would have a number of their family living with them. The intention is that they pool all their resources together and own a place. When the younger ones get married, they now are in a position to buy their own place without saving for years living in an apartment. These folks were putting down at least 20 percent, with some as high as 50 percent of the purchase price because of this. The relatives living with each other have their own businesses and careers.
There are other things you can do to be responsible, living on your own isn't the solution. It's just American culture that dictates this is the way it should be.
Again, this is all American rhetoric. Not impossible in other cultures.

I see both sides of the argument.
On one hand, having your own place is ideal, and it's a big part of being an adult and handling adult responsibilities.
On the other hand, with the high levels of unemployment and underemployment, inflation, student loan debt and high cost of living, it's not uncommon for young people to have to stay at home into their 20s, do I can't shyt on anyone for doing it as long as they're trying to stack up and establish themselves.
That you must leave home at eighteen is a dying paradigm, especially in this economy.

you want that? get your a gf or a wife and build
Thank you! And as black american men it is CRUCIAL that we follow that same practice. All these ppl that shame others for living with their parents are part of the problem. As hard as it is being a black man in this country, being a broke black man is insult to injury. I'm not saying live with your parents all your life, but if you could find a decent job making 40k-50k a year while living at home and save a good percentage of that for 1-4 years. That's well over 100k. People gotta look at the bigger picture. You can't sacrifice having non restricted sex and playing 2k in your boxers and smoking and drinking for a few years if it means you'll live the rest of your life like a boss? Think nikkas, THINK!
Girlfriends and wives come and go. Your parents are your parents forever. Just like I stated in my OP.
Eventually someone has to actually buy a house for this to work, right?
What about people who have 3 siblings?
What about marriage?
I can't say shyt tho. I was on my own 20+ years and just recently came back.
One of the reasons is that my folks are getting old and they need help, though. And plus I was out of state and family life was slowly passing me by. I didn't want the next time I saw a loved on to be a (not gonna type the word).
