Interestingly enough, your post didn't answer the OP either.

:laugh:

oh wait, I'm 27 so not 30+...

and I'm not in the basement.. they are.

Oh and I can't honestly say WE are all "living" together since that's where I hide the bodies.


shhh...

One word, lime.
 
Graduated College at 22, then left for Air Force and got out at 27. Lived with my parents for one month until I got my own place. Did not want to get an apartment because I didn't think I would get a job in-town.

What do you do when you bring a girl home? Or have you ever brought a girl home?

No problem. It isn't like I live in a tiny house. Her bedroom is on one end of the house downstairs and mine is on the other upstairs. 😛

Sure, it can be hard at times to have her living with me, but she went through a lot of crap raising four kids and very little money so I will take a little inconvienence sometimes. I got a great deal on the house also.

Once I finish undergrad and get a steady job for a year I'll move out...so probably around 23-24?

I have a great relationship with my parents though so I'm in no hurry.

I currently live in an apartment on campus, it's 15 min from home, I'm not paying for it..
 
there are two paths to this argument:

1) the older person just bumming around doing nothing/the older person making big money and just blowing it on fluff.

2) the older person looking to a job (lay offs/fired/whatever) and the older person working and power saving for a house/relocation/etc.

One is a smart move, the other lazy.

However, the latter should not inconvenience or cost the parents money.
 
I'm 20 and havent lived at home since I was 18. I don't have my room anymore, but the thing is i'm always doing something at school so at most i'm living at "home" for a week to two at most.

When I graduate I will probably try to live at home for a year to gather cash and then move out. I love my parents, but I want to get to the point where I can help THEm, rather than always me...not that I could help my parents too much since my dad is a Professional Engineer, but it would be nice to do something like foot my little brother's college tuition (tuitiation...not dorm whichis 10000x more expensive 😛)
 
My friends brother still lives at home and is in his early 30s. He is an engineer and drives from SD to Irvine (~1.5 hours 1 way w/o traffic) every day to go to work. He helps out with the house payment though and other stuff.
 
22, Living w/ a roommate whos 24. But I'm thinking about moving back with my parents for a year or two since I calculated I could save $700 a month (rent & bills). A year savings would be $8400, two years $16,800... money I could use for a down payment on an eventual house of my own.

Nowadays its not really a big deal. A lot children, those who don't marry stay with their parents. Just because a person lives with their parents doesn't automatically mean they are a free loaders or anything.
most of the time it does mean that.

It's sad but it's true for American to free load off their parents which gives the rest of us a really bad name...
