Still living with your parents??

As long as you and your Parents can bare each other.

 

Same here, I was round 17/18 when I moves out. Both of my brothers are at home though. One at least is 35 with a wife and 2 kids and moved back in with her parents so they can save for a place and so her mum can help out with their newborn. The other one who is 37 is just damn lazy and likes my dad doing everything for him and it drives me insane. He needs to get out and stand on his own two feet already...!!! Grown arse man living with daddy and not paying any bills :smt092

 

You assume wrong. I rented my own house.

 

The whole Roommates system doesn't work for everybody. Some people need their space..

The Millennial Generation (born 1980-2000) is the largest, most diverse, most open-minded, most tech-savvy, most eco-conscious generation in American history. Millennials are also the most unemployed, in debt and generally screwed over.

 

It's a great article but absolutely nothing will be done to make things better. We are at the end of our rope as country for one reason alone. We are completely apathetic as capitalist culture. If it's not happening to me it's not really happening and as long as I'm happy why should I give a fuck about anyone else. Generation me followed generation greed and as a result there will be nothing left for the future. The power structure is shifting to a Victorian society where there are only going to be the extremely wealthy and the poverty stricken. Remnants of the culture that lead Queen Elizabeth to say the famous words "Let them eat cake" showing a complete disconnection between the ruling class and the ones that they ruled is upon us again. It won't always be like this but dark times are definitely ahead and many of us will be faced with choice of doing what is easy and what is right.
Interesting times indeed.

 

You should look up his recent speech at Powershift 2011. He talks about how the rich are the only ones who can afford solar energy when the poor are the ones who truly need it. Yes we are screwed up.

 

Yeah, the space and freedom they get from their parents? I thought the topic was about living with one's parents.

Space is something you have to be willing to/able to pay for. If you can't, and you don't want to live with your parents, get a roommate. Otherwise pay for a one bedroom. It's not that complicated.

 

But the most unfortunate thing is no matter how many speeches are made and not matter how many words are written only actions will get things done and right now people aren't ready to move.

 

Anyways, I'll be on my own by the time I'm 20 years old, which is by the end of the year. I'll be coping with independence, meeting white women, and living in the real world. I won't have to worry about getting in debt, unemployed, or being screwed over.

 

I left home when i was 22 years old and my parents were saying i was too young to be on my own.Thing is in this part of our world some people stay in their parents homes marry have kids and still stay in their parents home. It is changing now though because now if you are like 30 and still living in your parents house as a man, the girls are like WTF????

 

I meant space from Stranger or non-stranger roommates..Not parent roommates lol.

 

18. I couldn't WAIT to get out. I had the chance to learn to get kicked in the dick by life and recover fairly young.

To each their own though.... stay with your parents forever if it makes you happy.

 

I say don't go untill they make you!

I got my own place when I was 20 but only because my then boyfriend later Husband wanted to live together, if not for that I would have stayed forever....

I haven't lived with my parents since I was 13 when my Grandad died I went to stay with my Nan to keep her company and never went back, she had a massive 5 bed house at the time and her level of moddlycoddling was 2nd to none. I had 2 bedrooms one to sleep in and one for my clothes on the other side of the house to my Nan and later when I learned to drive the 3 cars I collected were all parked in the drive.

Ahhh life was fab at home, just like Magic laundry would appear neatly replaced into the wardrobes, arrays of freshly ironed shirts for work.

I say don't go till you're pushed!

I know this bro who is living with his parents. He is 33 years old. He said he cannot find a job. He is divorced with one kid. He is a victim of the times. Should we judge him as a failure?

 

Thanks Bug. I always thought it was Queen Elizabeth I .

 

In these kind of difficult times you resort to what is needed to get by. :smt102

 

If he left home and had to come back because of the financial crisis no he is not a failure but if he has been there the whole time then yes he is a failure cuz why the hell would you be marrying and impregnating a woman when you don't have a place of your own?:smt028

 

Agreed
