OK, I lived with my Grandmother until she passed away when I was 23. She had adopted me after my mother passed away when I was 13. Basically, she took care of me in my younger years, so I returned the favor in her older years. Instead of paying her rent as i got older, I would run errands, do housework, take her to the Dr. and shopping, things like that. She would very rarely accept any money from me except for food. She wanted me to learn to save money and pay my own bills, etc. For awhile, I was giving her money, but was just putting it away for me........So, there are certain circumstances that neccessitate being "home", but mostly for the good of others.
Do you live with mommy and daddy?

ill be 24 this year, and have lived on my own since the month i turned 18. i have lived in two different apartment complexes, and when i was 18, i lived it up at the ocean, scott free. i have a trade under my belt(maintenance and heating), and i have a nice car. it is hard to pay for life day to day sometimes with a 7 month old kid too. but i still see all my friends living at their parents houses, and its pathetic.

<~~Moved out at 18, back in at 20, back out at 21....been gone since.
<~~~Moving in with Ceej once my wife gets pregnant. I figure he's got experience with kids.....moving in with him will allow me to go out and "rave" while someone else takes care of my responsibilities!

I'm 24 and would move out if i could, but because of my major in college (middle grades education) it was "required" that I not have a job during my last year of school. Why? Well, when majoring in the education field I had TOSS (intern) and student teach. Both are full time jobs in themselves with no pay. I didn't make it through the first time, when student teaching. The second time (this past fall) I taught from 8-4 plus worked at UPS loading trailers at night. Through this whole time I've lived at home.
I graduated, finally, back in December and had plans to move out, but my dad passed away and I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my mom alone to deal with the house and everything else. She has a hard time understaning English.
So if being 24 and living at home makes me "immature" or a "slacker" ....oh well. Who are YOU to pass judgement on others?

I took offense to this thread right off the bat. I'm 23 and live at home because I'm straight up jobless...shuttles disintegrating don't exactly help in my market. I lost my job a few months ago while I was looking for something permanent. Finally, though, the job market is turning around a little...I have an interview tomorrow. You may ask, "Will you move out if you get it?" and I'll probably say "I don't know." If my parents are obliged to helping me save a little cash towards buying a home by living with them, then who am I to argue?
I dunno...there's too many factors in this to just generalize that everyone that lives with their parents while in their 20s is a leech. Especially with the way the education system works now...you get "kids" coming out of college at my age. And if they can't find a job immediately, what are they supposed to do?

Dude...when I said *can't* find a job...I didn't mean won't settle. I'm studying for the MECP installer exam. But there are only so many jobs in the country. There are people that are jobless because the economy can't support them. So basically, I'm not an adult because I got laid off and I'm waiting to find a good job before I move out? I'm waiting so that I don't go broke with all of my bills as soon as I step out the door and wind up having to move back...
WHO GIVES A s***!
Everyone's got there reasons. I don't understand why some people move out at such a young age and get themselves into debt just so that they can be 'independant'
I recently moved back to my Mom's because my Dad died a few years back and I figured my Mom could use the help around the house. It works well for both of us. I've been saving for a house, and now I can put away a whole lot more money living at "mommy's"
She's got her life, and I've got mine. Just like it was when I had apartments with roommates. Just the parties aren't as wild

My dad put my braces through my lip so many times that at age 15, I decided that it would be better to be a troll. I roughed it out for a couple of months for sure, but after a while I got my s*** together, found a great girl, started a little business, and made a pretty nice life for myself.
POINT: I think a little suffering will put your life choices into perspective and what seems like a nightmare now just might turn out to be a good thing in the long run.
Persistance, perseverance and patience will take you anywhere you want to go.
Don't depend on your parents to take care of you, and with a little work, you'll be surprised how nice things can turn out.
