My plan was to move out when I was 25. I had $10K saved up but then I got laid off. Finally got a decent job at 27, saved up another $20K and finally moved out that year. I was paying my mom $400 in rent tho.
A lot of people had jokes about me staying at home until I was 27. Most of my friends where out of the house no later than 23. BUT 75% of them ended up coming back home. I saved up a ton of money, got ahead and it doesn't look like I'll ever have to move back home. *knocks on wood* If you have a plan and you are saving money, no, you are not a loser. Black people seem to be the only people out here that parents are on some "when you turn 18 you are out the house"/"you are too old to be at home past 21" shyt. It is a different world out here these days. The job market and the economy are shytty. Other races of people stay at home, save money and get ahead. It's about living below your means to advance financially in the long run.
