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

[Carlton Banks]

My mentality is that by a certain age I need to be taking care of my parents.....not the other way around. Your parents spent 18 years + how ever many years of college taking care of you. Stop eating into their retirement funds and let them enjoy the second half of their lives without having to subsidize a grown ass adult

Literally, this.

That’s only temporary pain, remember these nikkas have a bedtime dictated by their parents

I don't think people should feel obligated to move out when they're young. Like 19 or something.

But living on your own is a certain rite of passage. Forget about the freedom or people talking about being able to bring women over. All that shyt is extra.
Living on your own shows a certain level of responsibility and adulthood. It shows that you can handle things. It also should give you an appreciation for the sacrifices that your parents make for you.

Being coddled, living at home doesn't do anything but make your life easy and keeps you unprepared to deal with adversity.

This 100% I wish I knew that when I was young.

Eh people have their reasons for living with their parents, do what they need to do. I have a parent/gparent who 100% thinks the whole family should be under the same roof, meh.

I had an atypical experience where I was away from home/living apart from parents overwhelming majority from 12-21, 28-31 and now for varying reasons. I was able to bond with younger siblings in a way I couldn’t at the trajectory prior to moving in and also free and clear of all debts (student loans). It did eventually become uncomfortable however.

It’s no longer for me-savings yes and paying for debts were great since I had big goals but ultimately my peace of mind and freedoms matter more to me than the former goals. I adjust accordingly.

I don't recommend this at all if you plan on progressing in life, unless you happen to have parents that give you your space and make it a point not to distract you when you're handling business.

Stop dating/socializing temporarily and focus on building yourself up. At best, secure a 2 - 3 bedroom apartment, find tenants that are on the same page as you, and rent out the other room(s) to them.

TIP: MAKE SURE YOU FIND A ROOMMATE THAT WORKS A DIFFERENT SHIFT IF YOU CAN.

I had a roommate that was super cool, and worked overnight 4-5 times a week, and 2 of those nights were always Saturday and Sunday. You both will stack paper, and you both will be either asleep or Home Alone most of the time.

Do they make you lame ass nikkas on an assembly line or something?

I could barely smash freely when I was home one summer break during college, I enjoy getting loud and slapping my nuts against the p*ssy, if my mother ever walked in on me

I started with a mattress on the floor like a lot of people but I’m moving from our starter house to our big ass house next year. Gotta start somewhere.

fukk that shyt. I'm a grown man with one grown kid. I'm not having a roommate at this point in my life. I got side hustles to get extra money if necessary. I'm not gonna be living with another grown man just to make an extra $1000 a month and what not.

matter of fact the only way I'd entertain that thought is if I was serious with a woman and she moved in perhaps.
