At what age are you too old to be living with your parents?

hotel

 

You probably should pay some sort of rent after you are 18, or out of school.

 

I know these two Asian brothers. They are both doctors and they both have families and kids. But they all live in the same house with their parents.

Its a really unique and interesting setup they have there.

 

You would expect your child to pay you rent for living under their own roof?

 

I kicked my mom out of MY apartment when I was 18.

 

I think it's a cultural thing. I know that it doesn't work like this for Asians & Middle Easterners.

 

Well done on the Chas quote. : )

If you're out of college and still living at home, you need to move. Especially those of yall in Texas, where the cost of living is cheaper than in some 3rd world countries. No excuse whatsoever.

I'm 23 and I live with my Mom, I pay her rent and I think it's absolutely great for the time being. Me and my ex-fiance lived together and when we broke it all off instead of living by myself I moved back in with my mom and started paying her rent. Sometimes it's great to know someone else is in the house. She minds her own business, we never do anything together (maybe church every now and then) plus sometimes she cooks dinner which is a free meal for me. Me and my ex split for a year but we are back together patching things up.

For the last couple months she has been pushing for us to try the whole 'move in somewhere together' thing again but I decline for now. That will come in time when I know were ready. Honestly I'm content for the time being where I'm at. I save alot of money, I don't have to worry about dealing with several house bills~electricity~cable ect..ect..ect... I save alot of money.. I save alot of money.. I save alot of money.... and yeah my mom is a great cook.



After living on my own for awhile my advice is to live with your parents as long as you possibly can. If your mind is right and your goals are high then living with your parents is beneficial to your future. It will help you out in the long run so if you have the opportunity, take advantage of it. (unless your a millionaire or your parents are wealthy and buy you literally everything). This advice is for the average person.

The ego hit is minimal compared the the dividends you receive in the end.

 

18 years and 1 day

 

Nothing wrong with that. I mean if your the one taking care of your parents instead of the other way around, it seems perfectly fine. If you live with your parents and making a living instead of living with your parents cause you play video games all day thats different.

 

Can't edit though I have contributed.....

My brothers and sisters in law all still live at home...all four of them...ages 32-24. Between them they have two college degrees, at least 5 repossed vehicles, 2 DUIs, one child out of wedlock, one job and no direction whatsoever.

Why? Because their mom told them they could move out whenever they wanted too and could stay as long as they were in school. So they've been in school taking one class at a time forever. My mother in law is being evicted because no one helps her with the rent, food, or utilities which are huge due to the flock of losers that infest her house.

Kick them out at 18 I say.

 

Well there is a difference between taking advantage of your parents and actually being productive and staying with them. It's just a cultural thing, my sister has lives with my parents and she is 26, she has her degree in BIO a job and her own expenses, but my parents would never ask her to pay for rent or kick her out, because they love having her there and me as well.

She is going to be enagaged soon and I don't really think there is anything wrong with living at home untill its that persons time, not just because they are 18.

 

Not everyone has that same experience when living at home. You and your mom are in more of a "roomate" situation, she just happens to be your mom. You are obviously independent.

The problem is when 20-somethings are living at home and still depending heavily on their parents (even for meals- part of learning how to live on your own is fending for your own meals) and not managing things such as bills. I think this can lead to financial disaster when they finally do move out- they have no idea how to manage money.

 

If u have lame parents I wouldn't be suprise if y'all want to move out, but my parents are pretty bad ass, and they throw some wild parties that would make the average fraternity brother blush...

 

It depends on the situation. What matters is that you are doing something productive, like going to school or are working on your career. If you are 22, living with your parents, not going to school, and working at McDonald's, you are a loser. What matters is that you have a goal.

 

Real estate moguls love the American concept that it is pathetic to live with your parents.

 

I am 25 and live with my parents. I also pay them 1 grand a month to help them with the mortgage in these troubled financial times. Which is ok cause I work and have a well paying job (for my age I think). I've been wanting to move out for a year but renting just doesn't sound reasonable to me. BTW uncle sam is screwing me over pretty bad on taxes this year, cause I'm a single who doesn't house. So buying a house makes a lot of sense, I just need to save for some down payment.

As far as meeting girls go, I just tell them that I have lived by myself before (lying) but now I live with parents to help them out (not lying).

 

So they could still be in high school and you would kick them out?

 

:grin: Touche!
