interesting thread....couple things I want to add
1. Everyone's life is different, you have people who are ok with stacking up and saving, and people who are ok with going through the grind to say "all this is because of blood sweat and tears"...Every viewpoint is understandable. In my opinion however, there is no way in hell a man over 30 with means to have his own place should be thinking that its taboo to just live up under your parents like its middle school days.....something is just off with that....but like I said everything is its own situation and im not judging nobody since I aint a judge.
2. The argument about the parents wanting you gone.....thats a little tricky....most parents these days are dealing with distant kids. Kids with other shyt to do, places to go, people to see...and have no time to actually spend with their folks....one thing I learned is that the older you get, the less people in your life you have that truly give a shyt about you.....if you and your parents are in good terms....shyt if you on bad terms....still you should find a way to spend as much time as you can with them....because besides God...in this life, family literally is all you got...seriously. Your parents might be getting tired of you living under them...but deep down the older they get, they love to know their kid is still around spending quality time with them....that is the best gift any kid can give their parents...not money, not a new crib, not vacations.....quality time with their kids in a time where kids dont spend time with their folks.
3. Some families arent traditionally functioning. Some homes the parents arent together....and you probably with your moms, or your pops. They probably got divorced, other life situations happened for them to go separate ways...so its probably an empty nest....your parents probably actually need you in that home to be able to help pay for the bills....its basically a roomate situation, its just its your parents instead of a random person. Also people dont stay home that much if they are working, and busy....so its truly about what you do with the money you get in your daily life that shows maturity, not where you live, whether its independently or dependently. Gotta be smart with your money, have a plan for your life, and follow through with that plan.
but move out if you pushing 40 i mean come on theres a limit for everything.
