I'm 25 years old and live with my parents. That makes me a loser right?

Consider this for a moment

You considering yourself a loser is really a reflection on how you think others perceive you. Whether that be family members, friends, women, co-workers, etc

Now ask yourself 1 very important question...

Are ANY of these individuals doing anything to help your situation?


Instead of looking at what you don't have, look at what you do.....two parents willing to love you enough to keep a roof over your head for as long as you need it, a lot of people can't say that :birdman:
Appreciate them more than ever, stay focused on your goals, and don't let fear determine your next move.
I'm confident in saying my friends and people on social networks do not think I'm a loser. They actually think I have a pretty awesome life based off the pics I post. Now I can't say that about my family. Like they aren't gonna say it but I wouldn't doubt a few of them see me as a loser right now. Which is a trip because all of my older cousins still live with their folks. I don't know man. I hear what you're saying though and definitely do appreciate what they do for me and I'm blessed for having them. Why does success gotta be so hard though? I wish I got paid for all the times I told a vendor in the middle of the mall "no thank you" instead of ignoring them like they're not human

shyt just dawned on me this morning. Like I could of sworn when I was 17 I vowed to move out around 23...but I'm still fukking here. I even peeped my folks giving me that :comeon: get the fukk out our house look a few times. But real talk, this is my new mission, I gotta get outta here. Hopefully the next thread I make will be in my apartment.
IT's that grind. Lots of responsibility living on your own. By not moving out - ur watering down some of your motivation and grind. Also, as a man..... I just know I'm putting my sons out at 17. A daughter can stay til she's 30.


at the same time, living with my mom was the thing that made my childhood great. I stay at my moms a few weekends a year - the best time of the year , minus no p*ssy.

It's hard these days, shyt it's hard to line up reliable roommates.

:scusthov: at staying with people you don't know after college.

If you have to stay with your people for a few months, no biggie. It's a different time, it's much harder to find a stable career. No more easy "non experience required" careers out here anymore.

Nah... especially with the way things are shaping up these days. The 6 figure coli gang will sh)t on you but ignore em. Stay home until you're ready to leave. The worst thing you can do is leave before you're ready... then you'll end up having to go back.

Make sure you know how to swim before you jump into a sink or swim scenario

I moved out from my parents when I was 18....But do to these economical times it's fine that you do live with your parents at that age. Totally fine.

I've actually thought of looking for work out of state but I'm a little scared of change. I have to grow out of that. Me and my parents have a really good relationship so things aren't tense at all between us. I admit i have seen a change lately where I think they want me outta here just from the way they speak and the body language they've been giving off lately. I don't think it's just in my head
Dude, you have to move out and start your life. You're 25. You realize that your time here is limited.

Also, kill that fear bullsh!t. If you're young, childless, and have a good head on your shoulders your only fear should be wasting so much potential.

If you, or any other Coli heads need help relocating hit me up. I know some trade secrets about getting gigs in hot markets. Anyone trying to get to Chicago can crash on my couch while they hit up interviews.

I'm 29 and split bills down the middle with my dad. My credit was screwed up for years and I finally got it under control and looking to move out in the spring. People grow at different speeds. You just gotta worry about yourself and make sure you're ready. It's expensive living by yourself. I'm dating a woman now who lives by herself and I see her struggle sometimes. I try to help her out. I told her maybe I should move in she said no. I need to learn to live by myself and get those life lessons. So she gonna help find an apartment. NY is rough. Rent is like 1200-1350 for a decent spot. And I don't want a roommate. So I'm saving my pennies until I get my dough straight.

As long as you have a plan on what you're trying to accomplish then nah, not really.

Sure it's a blow to the ego, but if you're helping out around the house with bills, etc. and saving you shouldn't really feel bad about it IMHO.

Just get your finances straight. What's the point of moving out to just come back later?

Do it right the first time.

Breh me and my gf went and looked at one of those apts back when we struggling. I mean the inside is pretty nice and decent size but as soon as you walk out and got a dozen :birdman: staring you down, looking like a Ace Hood video shoot, I knew it would never work. :laugh:
