It was a necessary comparison for people who think they can judge for others when they are not in their shoes and not even living in the same country. No person actually moving in with parents is going in because he or she is one step short of begging. The following food stamp chart describes the severity of the current economic crisis.

Sorry but exaggeration is never necessary in a comparison, it just makes it easier to dismiss an argument which deserves further reflection.

You are still going to have to lie about living with your mom. Telling a woman that is the equivalent of saying you have a tiny penis. No potential FWB is going to want you! A female FWB has a lot of guys to choose from you know. The number of options you have? Well hers is your number times 100.

Point taken but argument was not my intention actually as there is no point in arguing with those whose heads are stuck far up inside their rectum.

I'm not really worried about it. Maybe I'll pretend I'm married.

How is it ridiculous? You've lost your job, you have no unemployment because you were a contractor, your savings lasts you about 6 months to pay rent & utilities....by then you haven't found a new job, and you've applied everywhere you can think of (including minimum wage jobs), and now your emergency credit card is almost maxed out - now what do you do?

You think this doesn't happen to people?
