I lived with my parents until I was 29 a couple of months before I got married. It allowed me to save tons of money and since I always got along great with my parents and they respected my privacy and time I didn't see a reason to move out..

And no women don't care if you are atractive. And if you are not atractivewhy would you marry someone who cares so much about your money anyway?

No reason, unless you want to have your own home. the thing is, it usually gets difficult to keep getting along with them over time if you live under the same roof.

Because I didnt want to be a leech.

The reason you save money is you leech off your parents. You likely arent paying rent, electricity, water, insurance, hell maybe you dont even pay for food.

Sure you saved money, at the expense of your parents.

I get along with my mom, pay rent that goes to utilities and mortgage. I pay my own cell bill and pay for food that we may end up ultimately sharing. I cook, clean, do yard work, and just altogether help out around the house.

I cant live alone because, even with budgeting my money and expenses, I cant afford to live alone. I could move into an apartment with a roommate, but I dont know anyone whose looking. And frankly, I dont know how my mom would manage without me and I dont want her to suffer or go into a midlife crisis over it.

Is the rent you pay fair for the space you occupy? Lets say it wasnt your Moms house, would you be charged more, less, or the same? Be honest.

I moved out because I want independence. I never plan on getting married. I'm a loner, and don't like being around people much, so I definitely don't want to spend my life married to another person. I do however want my independence to do what I want when I want, and you can't do that if you are still living with your parents.

Getting laid.

Even if your parents are the chillest parents ever and 100% respect your privacy (good for you, mine were nothing like that), you're...still living with your parents.
Maybe now that 1/3 of people post-college and into their early 30's are doing it, there's less of a stigma. But I definitely would've felt embarrassed and uncomfortable bringing a date to mom and dad's house....

I guess w/ the money you save living w/ them, you could just get a hotel on those occasions and lie about your living arrangements if you were ok w/ that... Usually "going back to my/your place" is the starting point, not outright, "let's go have sex," though.

I moved out at 17 because that is just what kids in my family do after high school, ended up going the military route due to 9/11.

I bought a couple houses when the market bottomed out and magically got a half million in value across the three of them when the recovery started a couple years later.

People on the level of thinking about investments at least pay attention to what is happening in the world instead of just saving paychecks while living with their parents I think. It doesn't seem like itt we are talking more about investments, rather younger dudes talking about having their own space.

Primary reason is Sex and LOTS of sex, and loud sex, and sex with multiple people and did i mention Sex?

But seriously (ok that was actually serious), you also can:

Run around your house naked if you want, and not worry about flashing anyone.

Have your own space/home etc to return to without needing to interact with anyone if you don't want to (before getting a live in gf/wife etc of course).

Play your music etc as loud as you want, set up the living room as a gaming center etc.

Have sex as much and as loud as you want (what did I mention this already?!).

Honestly though, it's nice to have your own place if you can afford it. Honestly I think saving money early on (having roomates if you need to) makes more sense, and roomates often won't care i fyour having loud sex (especially if they are having loud sex, or if your having loud sex with them, or if your having loud sex with them and other people at the same time).

I mean, you can still live pretty cheap with roomates, so get a few friends together and rent a 2 bedroom wherever you live, convert the living room into a 3rd bedroom and split the cost 3 ways. Each of you has your own love pad to bring chicks/guys back to, and you have your own life without parental units watching over you.

You don't really SAVE that much living with your parents, unless they are paying utilities and food for you as well. You can live fairly well on $500 a month with friends if you want, and even min wage jobs pay for that in most areas in 1 week (still leaving you 3 weeks of income to do with as you will).

So yeah.....

I'm almost 23 and live with my mom, we are close and get along well. I'm a full-time student and I don't have a job right now so it wouldn't make sense to leave anyway. My mom works so it's not like I'm never alone. I date and have friends and get enough privacy. I will probably move out sometime after I graduate though.

Sometimes I wonder what if my mother donate the house to some Buddhist monks instead of passing it on to my sister and me. I'll be surprise but actually wouldn't be upset since it is within her right. She has done a lot for us already as we were growing up. I wouldn't feel like she owe us to give us the house.

Funny enough my up until my sister got married, my mother was actually against her moving out to live with her at the time, boyfriend. She wasn't against it due to cultural reasons or not trusting her son-in-law but rather she just felt it was a waste of money. Though I think my sister and brother-in-law still stay apart as respect to his parents of not living together till married.

No the house was already paid so we didn't pay rent. I paid for utilities because even thought they didn't want me too I felt bad not helping. On myfirst check I brought them a trip to Europe for their 25 year anniversary. They are the best parents I could ever had

My sister moved out and went to live with her BF's parents for a bit as it was cheaper, they save cash and got a house together now. My brother moved out and in with roomates because it's cheaper to do so. Both my bro and sister worked before moving out(my bro still does my sis has kids with the BF now), my dad didn't and we live in a council house. This means that they had to pay a lot when it came to rent as rent increased when someone worked in the household. When I worked for a while I too paid quite a bit in rent.

Fast forward to now though I still live with my dad, I don't work at the moment and it's a hell of a lot cheaper living at home in a three bedroom house then not. My dad does his own thing and I do mine so it works well. Of course I want to get a job and move out one day. Moving out would actually be cheaper if I was working a full time job. Also if I ever met a girl and wanted to settle down with her moving out would be a must. I doubt that'll ever happen though so eh.

Not the case for everyone though. I pay my way, the phone bill and the internet bill. I've not "leached" off my dad since the age of 16 when I starting my work life.

Assets aside, how did you got about making decisions like this? Prior experience? Reading it up? Given advice by a family member/friend? What investments I've been doing are just piecemealing to Franklin Templeton. I've kinda been treating it as fire-n-forget but I do check occasionally the status.

Originally I moved out because my job after college was over 100 miles away from home. Once I switched to a job closer to my family, I stayed with my father for a few months, but after a while it seemed better to just move out on my own since we were both introverts and wanted more privacy. Now I love living alone even if I have to pay for my 3 bedroom house by myself.

I do wonder how many are in good relationship with their family but still move out because they feel it is a "rite of passage". If one can afford it, sure, but at the same time making smart financial decisions is kinda also part of that "rite of passage" of being an adult.

Doing that for this said "rite" sounds like a waste of time and money. I would like to move out because the our current home is too small for all of us. If it wasn't for that, I would probably stay there forever... or until I get kicked out, tho I doubt that would ever happen. Not a lech here btw, I do pay for my water and electricity (and for everyone when we eat out, because we would never do it otherwise...), and I'm almost never at home anyway because of work and studies so it's not that much.

I also find rental to be a waste on the long run, it's better to save enough money to buy a place and never ever having to pay to stay there even though it takes longer to actually being able to do that.

Aye. Friend of mine is looking to get a condo since a house is overkill for him and his apartment rates just keep going up. Oddly enough, I think he said his mortgage and HOA fees will somehow be less than his rent but he isn't satisfy with the condos he has seen thus far.

This is why it's not as great for people just getting out of school as it was for those of us graduating in the 80's. Mind you, of all the people I know (and it was alot) I was the ONLY person anywhere within a decade of my age that invested in these bonds. This was the interest rate of goverment EE bonds, calculated semi-anually (basically matured (doubled) every 7 years).

MAY 1, 198511.17%
NOV 1, 198412.87%
MAY 1, 198411.71%
NOV 1, 198311.04%
MAY 1, 198310.17%
NOV 1, 198213.05%

They actually went up significantly in 2018 to 2.42%....in the preceeding 5 years they averaged about 1.2% (which would take your whole life to mature).
