F that.

I paid off the majority of my education with my savings 20k+

Paid off my car several years ago 12k in a couple of years and was nearly at 0 savings.

Now im debt free and have 30k+ in savings and contribute 10% to a 401k.

Have a gf who just got her masters and makes a bit more than me and has her own house.


In my city, tons of younger people move out and "live on their own" in reality they pay a large part of their income on rent to live with a bunch of room mates and share bathrooms...no thanks jeff.


Only way im living with a room mate is if i am payin on the house

To answer op, 25-30. Depends on your situation.

Repent and slave away because student loans. Moving out is equivalent to pissing additional $500 per month. If education was free or close to free, I would be out and about at 18-19.

Instead, I'll need a few years to pay off my fking debt and then I'll start living life.

I have to agree because an ex of mine is still living with his mommy at 28 and it's because he has zero ambition - the guy didn't get his high school diploma until he was like 26 lmao (which he tried to blame me for - what's his excuse now that I'm not there).

I think J90 sounds like he has a very close relationship with his parents, though. I'm pretty jealous of anyone with normal and functioning parents like that.

If you didn't drop out of high school at the age of 14 and move out to pursue life as a tradesman being taken under the wing of a master craftsman, getting your 60 hours per week of disciplined practice for 4-5 years garnering over 20 000 hours of apprenticeship (twice the requirement for "mastery") so by the time you are 18 (the age you would have graduated high school) and ready to hit the work force making over 300k/yr as a tradie--then you failed life.
Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

It's definitely not normal though, and parents are not doing their kids any favours coddling them until their mid 20s (or later, god forbid). The whole objective of parenting is to raise your children so that they are able to fend for themselves as adults. Giving them free chit for years into adulthood instills dangerous and harmful perceptions about what actually needs to be done to succeed in life. They will almost certainly end up on welfare when they realise what needs to be done in the real world when mummy and daddy aren't there to give them everything.

In many countries there is no such thing. Families are stronger when they stick together and pooling resources allows for a higher living standard.

In America things have been engineered to get you out of your support system and into massive debt ASAP. Parents are shamed for having older kids at home and conditioned to believe that everyone is entitled to be free from your kids at 18.

My wife earned 3 Master's degrees while living at home until her 30s because that was the best way to maximize the FAMILY resources. We met when she was 33 and was the only GF I have ever had that was debt free when we met.

^ This, It can benefit you and the family if you stick together. Its only a certain generation of parents that want their kids to move out ASAP so they can go back to smoking crack and fuarking all day.

One of my mates lived in a caravan in his mums backyard, with his wife and kids and all working full time, 20 years later they knock the house down and build one massive house to extend the family. True alphas stay with there family's.

Betas always run away from home asap because they think if they leave "the house" they will magically gain all the skills and smarts to live a so called independent life, nek minute they are 40, single and working 60 hours a week paying for a piece of **** 1 bedroom apartment and are miserable because there parents are dead and they didnt spend enough time with them because they wanted to be "INDEPENDENT" lol.

I find it interesting how different cultures approach the same issue so differently. It seems to me that the real question that's being asked is, are you a loser if you don't make good money?

I have two friends in Taiwan. Both are in their early 30's and live at home. One makes very little but has multiple degrees in film and makes movies. Parents fight with them a lot about money and when they're going to move out. Other friend has a top job making big cash. Parents love that they're at home and don't want them to move out.

Depends on your family situation.
There's nothing wrong living with people you like whether they're your parents or not so long as it doesn't end up being a negative aspect on your progression.

If the family situation is holding you back then leave, doesn't matter if you're 18, or 30, excluding the care of sick/dependent people. Survival of the fittest all the time, if you can do it with others then why not but if you can't then make the adjustments you need and leave.

Forever srs. Living with family is a dream come true. My family are my best friends and I truly worry if I'll ever be able to be without them. I wish more people shared traditional values and wanted to live in a big family house with their parents and siblings and their families. Idk maybe I'm crazy and brainwashed because I grew up on the same street as my entire family and developed a serious attachment issues. I wanna raise a family with my family (lol) and take care of my children and my parents as they get old. Too bad my siblings and parents don't want that and I'm the only one who feels this way.

How about you focus on your own life and stop caring what people think. If you're 25 and still live at home, and trying to get your **** together, then who cares? Seems fine.

If you're just a loser rotting though, move out and get your own place.

It seems as though some are throwing every ******* into the same category. There are two types of people who live with their parents:

1. Doesn't pay keep. Doesn't contribute anything. No intention of moving out and no ambition etc.

2. The complete opposite of the above, plus having a structured plan.

I knew at 18, that I would be moving out at 22/23 and the goal was to save up 25k. I had a direct debit of 550/month into a savings account and did that for 4 years.

I think what you're forgetting is other countries are or at least were a lot poorer than the states. So, naturally children here have more freedom of choice to be able to survive alone at an earlier age.

Now that the economy is struggling a bit you do see more adults still living at home. It's not the living at home that's an issue, it's that for a long time in our society it meant someone lacked motivation and were lazy (my ex). If someone has a close relationship with their family and their parents aren't mentally ill, then I don't see an issue taking advantage of that situation. So long as the parents are ok with it, and the kid isn't just wasting away but actually doing something with their lives.

I'm very sad that both of my parents are mentally ill. I was robbed of any chance of that. Some of it due to scientology, and some of it as a result of my parents being mentally ill themselves. I got kicked out at 17 because I was dating someone they didn't approve of and I was sick of being forced to do scientology. My life could have and should have been a thousand times different if my parents had been normal. My Mom even confessed to me, which I recorded, that she thinks she's perfect. It's just sad.
I Love Kevin

I knew at 18, that I would be moving out at 22/23 and the goal was to save up 25k. I had a direct debit of 550/month into a savings account and did that for 4 years.
True. Now? Maybe finished with school + a year or so to get started in a career.

FWIW I was working a full time job and had my own apartment at 19. Started working in high school. By the time I became a SAHM I had already worked about 20 years and qualify for SS...not that I have any expectation of receiving it.

My father had a second wife. I've got a half brother who is around 27 and falls under #1 as far as I can tell.

Idk maybe I'm crazy and brainwashed because I grew up on the same street as my entire family and developed a serious attachment issues. I wanna raise a family with my family (lol) and take care of my children and my parents as they get old. Too bad my siblings and parents don't want that and I'm the only one who feels this way.
I understand these feels. My family is completely torn apart due to the mental illness of my parents. I would love to have this kind of relationship with my family members. It's not like my life or child hood was all bad, but, my parents mental health has just slowly deteriorated through out the years. They chose themselves and their delusions that they are exposing all the evils in the world over their family. Mental illness is horrible.
