I dont think you should care what society thinks, if your happy, be happy.

I moved out at 18 and im 25 now. Life is tough but its what you make out of it. I used to walk 3 miles to work a 12 hour shift because honestly I couldn't Depend on no one but myself. That's what you gonna have to learn. Independence is the one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Good luck whenever you get out there, breh.

You guys can package it however you want, but being a man and living at home at 25 is NOT a good look and you should be spending every second figuring out how to be on your own.

I know times are hard but there's always a way. But I don't blame you, I blame your parents. Everytime a grown up is at home its because their parents make it a comfortable environment.

When I was 17 my mom was lookin at me like "You still here?"
shyt used to annoy me so much that I vowed to never come back. I love my mom for that because she never made me feel comfortable. Meanwhile, my sister on the other hand, is back and forth living at home. She will never develop independence because my mom has coddled and made excuses for her since birth.

There are no age criteria to get your own home and be labeled as a responsible adult. The necessity to get a stable home is financial stability. If the person doesn't has the consistent income to maintain a home, then he or she needs to stay with someone until they get their finance together. Also, It is not the parents fault that their child move back in their home. In most cases, inevitable struggles arise in real life that force people to move back to their parents' home or share a home with a roommate.

I ain't reading all 9 pages, but you should not live with your parents after high school (17 or 18). Adults shouldn't live with their parents. I'm not saying you're a loser, but, shyt isn't really cool breh.

Cost of living and limited job opportunities is making it hard. Don't let these old fukks shame you cause this ain't the 70s anymore.

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.

SMH @ putting your son out when he still in HS. There ain't no jobs out there like that anymore and hustling shyt ain't gonna get the bills paid anymore.

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.

Thank you.

If you don't have a plan on when you're getting out, then yes you're a loser.
