LIVING AT HOME WITH YOUR PARENTS STILL?

[Mr. Nice Guy]

I do not live at home with mom or dad, but if you have a plan and save money to make your future better, do what you have to do. Just don't be at the club acting like your balling with your car payment being your only bill, and spending every penny of your check every week.. lol. Clowns like this are a dime a dozen just like a good looking broke ass bitch. Stack that bread and make your dream a reality. It is 2010, step your motherfucking game up!

After I graduated college my parents allowed me to live in their house for exactly one year.

I made it a point to save at least 50% of my paycheck and by the end of the first year I had over $20,000 saved.

I then chose a less than optimal living situation where I lived in Seattle close to work and with 3 roommates and paid about $500 a month in rent including utilities allowing me to still save nearly 50% of my income.

It wasn't fun and I could have rented a place for $1200-$1500 on my own, but the sacrifice worked out very well for me.

Where you stay at now? Did you end up buying a house/condo?

IN many Asian cultures, families live together until death. Western cultures are one of the few that LEAVE as soon as possible.

I am not asian but will let my kids live with me as long as they need to. Pushing your kids out the nest as soon as possible is a recipe for failure unless you can provide some financial support and guidance.

Yeah, It's American dumb shit, that's why so many of these young fucks are fucks. Teach them deference and financial responsibility. I can't tell you how many young dummies who think they grown and know something because they don't want to listen to their parents so they "hustle" to live on they own, thinkin they're mature because they slang or strip, but have no savings and in reality still relying on somebody or something.

i just gotta mention when you come from a disfunctional family staying with your parents as an adult is not an option. sometimes the only way to survive is getting out on your own. now if you grew up in a suburban disneyland yeah i guess you can stay there until you're old and grey. but i actually stopped living with my parents when i was 16. lived with my godparents for a year in marin and lived at my grandma's until i was 17. then i was out on my own. everyone doesn't grow up in a bradys bunch household.

You kidding me? Most kids cant WAIT to turn 18 and move out to get their parents off their backs. At least thats how it was in my group of friends. I left at 17.

 

[Dhadnot]

This is true, but all parents are dysfunctional to a point. And unless your parents are beating the shit out of you or each other you can bear through it. Again, it's American silly shit.

i think lots of people of color in inner cities come from disfunctional families. lots of fatherless homes, drug addicted parents, all types of crazy shit. i just speak from the perspective of a person of color that was raised in the inner city.

I was out the house at 18 and made alot of bad decisions that costed me dearly thinking I was grown. I plan to keep the environment in my household one that my kids will enjoy, not one they can't wait to get out of.

Moving out on your own at 18 may work for some, but in this day and age will be a mistake, imo, unless you have parents that are well off and can afford to pay to clean up your mistakes. If I could go back I would do many things differently, but know I would not be the man I am today without going through my trials and tribulations. It is a give, take.

I never did agree with anything this faggot posted, but he hit the head on the nail here.

if i needed to go back to my fams, it is what it is. i wouldnt get comfortable though, im always looking to advance.

SHEA you always up threads in the recent posts. lol. i be seeing the threads in other threads.

IDK, there have been times where I had to stay with my parents for a couple of weeks in between apartments (I own a house now) for a few days or a week or two but I haven't lived at "my parents" since I was 18 or maybe 17..... Sure I visit and crash every once and a while if they throw a bomb party but; I do my own thing and do what I do.

Of course my mom/dad gets all pissed If I don't give them a call once a week, and time flies so, they're lucky if they get a call once every couple of weeks, and they just want to know what I'm up to... They're not worried they just to know whats up....

Man, when I was 18 they couldn't wait go get rid of me :devious: - at 18 they wanted nothing to do with my bullshit haha...

I come from a Libertarian family so I could do whatever the hell I wanted since I was 15/16... Obviously they worry like any other parent but I'm 33 now so they're more interested in just what I'm up to now.
