on the real if my daughter wants to stay at home i'm all for it if she's going to college and trying to improve herself. i'd rather support her future so she can make a LIVING than kick her out and make her work shitty jobs just to make a SURVIVING.

not all parents think like that

^for real. it's a big cultural thing as well. I am of European background and it's practically seen as a sin to move out before u get married, no matter the age :D

that's how it is in middle eastern culture

Should I spend $600.00 a month on rent so I can live closer to my work and school? Or do you think I should continue to live at home (which I dislike) and save my money for a rainy day?  In 6 months I could either spend 3,600 on a place to live, or I can save that money but I would have to drive for at least 2 hours everyday... Plus im turning 22 so I kind of feel like I want to move out, I hate the area that I live in, I have a few other reasons I want to move out but thats pretty much it... tell me what u think dubcc, who pays their own rent? TALK TO ME! 8) :)

LMAO!  You're 22 and you are even considering this?  Jesus christ...what the hell is wrong w/ kids these days.  you should have moved out 4 years ago like a normal functioning member of society.  Honestly, no hate, just straight up opinion, 22 and living w/ mommy and daddy is pathetic...unless you are taking care of them because they have health problems, or its a cultural thing where you support your parents.  But if you just living there so that you don't have to pay rent, that is just flat out pathetic.  Gain some independence.  A year or 2 after you graduate HS, just to save some money...okay, I can dig it...but until  you are 22, give me a fuckin break!

Listen grundy I see your point but you have to understand that when you move out you take on a lot of financial responsibilities other than rent (which on its own is very expensive).. times are hard right now, I think everyone should have a few thousand dollars in their account for a rainy day, future investments, medical, etc.  If I have to endure the negative for the benefit of the future, than why not? Its not like im going to live in some cool apartment.. Im going to live with people I dont even know and rent a room for $600.00 a month! LOL! I have my own  room  with no limits on my freedom..   Dont call me pathetic because this is very common lol its not like I  want to move out when im 25 (and I know many people that still live at home at 25) but  :whistle:whatever I guess it doesnt matter lol..  I guess I just have to start making this my moto "talk is cheap, if you're feeling froggy just leap" :-X :) 8)

wow.  you are making it seem like living on your own is some huge feat.  Yes, there is more financial responsibility than paying rent.  Yes, there are many 25 year olds who still live w/ mommy and daddy, and yes I think they are pathetic.  Its called responsibility, independence, and having some fucking self respect.  22 and still living at home is major pathetic.  What kind of goals do you set for yourself?  You are just part of an extremely sad and dependent generation in the USA, where you continuously make excuses for yourself, rather than get up and face your challenges in life and overcome them.  At age 18 you are legally an adult, and you should be taking responsibility for yourself.  And then you go talking about all this shit about everyone should have a few thousand saved up...you're fucking 22 and living w/ your parents...thats minimum 4 years of very lil' expenses where you could have saved money.  You, like the other 90% of America want your fucking hand held all throughout life.  Get a fucking job.  Sacrifice your expenses.  Live within your means.  22 you should damn near be graduated from college.  Quit giving yourself excuses.  The more excuses you make for yourself the less you are going to amount to in life.  I be a million bucks when you were 18 you didn't think you would be living with mommy and daddy at age 22.  Now if you postpone the move again, I bet you will be with them until age 25.  If you are not ready to live on your own by age 22 you are seriously pathetic.  Its really sad that you think it is okay and not pathetic because it is common for 22 year old's to still be living with their parents.  Don't you think that is setting the bar pretty low for yourself when you group yourself with the common pathetic douchebags of America?
Im not pathetic negative nancy, I made the decision to move out. Its not like im lazy, I work 60 hours a week and go to school part time. Im not able to graduate because I always had to work full time to support myself and go to school part time so its taking longer than it really should. Im not making excuses but why do you always have to sound so bitter when u express urself?  :-\

^It depends on how religious the culture is. Portugal is probably a lot more Catholic than Norway, the Netherlands or Germany. Over here, you definitely get a laugh or condescending look if you're male, 21+ and flat out living with your parents 24/7/365, unless your house is on some bomb ass party shit or something.

As a woman I think it's not a big deal. I'm already impressed when women of wealthy families even work while going to school. Most good-looking women know all it takes for them to be fine is marrying a wealthy man. So if they work and get advanced education I don't see a problem with them being at home. As a man living at home at a relatively old age, it is kinda pathetic because you have to prove that you make a living in this world and if you straight up depend on your family until you are like 30, well, that's saying a lot about you, doesn't it?
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

I know I know, it's just that should've said it's a Portugal/Catholic culture thing. Shit - I moved when I was 17.

LOL...Exactly...Morons in here who think it's pathetic for a 22 year old girl to live at home need help. Some middle eastern families wont even let the daughter move out until she's married! LMAO@grundy.
