People who do things with their lives aren't attracted to people who don't.
I dated a guy for three years back in the very early 80's. I had a job, an apartment, a car, went to college p/t, I had a life. He lived with his brother and used his brothers car and worked sporadically when it suited him. He kept suggesting we should live together. I kept telling him no. I finally dumped him when I realized that he was a lazy slob who would never amount to anything. I was right. I ran into an old mutual friend a year ago. The ex boyfriend is now 62, living in a 300 s/f studio apartment, owes money to everyone he's ever met, and still hasn't worked more than a few months straight ever in his life.

McDonalds, Grocery Stores, Labor Ready. Wash dishes, mop floors, stock shelves, bring in carts.

What do you hope to accomplish in life? Why are you content with doing/being nothing? You can do anything you put your mind to. Have you no passions?

I would consider getting some counseling to try to identify why you have no desire to make anything of yourself.

Yes I have passions I love music, writing, and photography, I am writing for several music magazines currently but THEY DO NOT PAY. Most other magazines or nespapers REQUIRE A DEGREE OR THIS OR THAT AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE.

I've written for several music magazines and gotten paid. I've also had photos published in numerous music mags and rags, including Stone. They paid as well. You obviously aren't marketing yourself properly. (I don't have a photography or journalism degree.)

completely depends WHY they are still living at home.
so YES, it can really be that BIG of a deal

ambition tends to be the key factor in whether or not its a good or bad thing that is happening

So... what do you do then? If you don't have a job, and it doesn't sound like you have any plans to get a job, and you live at home with your parents, and you can't drive... What exactly do you plan to do with your life?

It can be hard to get a job - but it can be done. I'm a performer and have had an assortment of odd jobs to pay the rent when in between performing jobs. I worked at the front desk of a gym, I catered, I assisted an insurance salesman, etc.

Do you have a degree? Do you plan on getting one?

get a part time (physical labor positions require you be breathing and able to move on your own power) and keep looking...or realize you do not have the proper requirements for the jobs "you want" and take the time and investment to get them or look elsewhere for a better fit.

preferred also doesn't mean "NEEDS"

Okay, so maybe I wasn't completely right. Apparently sometimes people who do things with their lives are attracted to people who don't, at least for up to three years.

Then get a degree if that's what you want to do with your life. Or, if you don't want to get a degree, do something with your life that doesn't require one.

This isn't complicated. It's not easy, either, though.
