Move out,do everyone a favor..There's two sides to every story and I bet if theirs was told they wouldn't mesh up.
I bet they're tired of waiting for you to grow up...
I don't live with them. Even when I was in college I lived in the dorms. I have my own place.
It's like the Rockefeller always had their kids on a strict allowance and then they worked as they got older. Your family thinks work builds character, responsibility, stuff like that.
I can only think of two good reasons to work, a salary, or personal satisfaction. Since you don't need the salary, and seem quite satisfied, why bother?
But, that won't make your family happy, and honestly, how long will you be content to sit on a porch or bake pies? Why not use your degree as a volunteer?
Have you considered volunteering a few days a week? Not having any financial worries is a nice position to be in, you have a lot of opportunity to get involved with a cause you're really passionate about.
I don't work at all and this upsets my family though more so my grandmother. I'm 25 and have never had a job (besides babysitting a few times) though I did graduate from college. During the first half of my junior year my grandpa passed away and I got an inheritance. After graduating, I chose not to apply for jobs. Instead, I travelled and decided to hold off working. Perfect decision for me, but my family doesn't think so.
...
Did anyone else get an inheritance or are you the only one? If you're the only one, I think that is the root of the problem.
If you have the money to be able to live off investment income then why work? If I were in a position that I did not need to work I probably would not.
Maybe everyone is jealous of your leisure class status.
As you say you don't need to work grandma has wisdom from life. Your only telling your side but if everyone is saying get a job they have to be saying it for a reason. Don't just brush off grandma because she has life experience to back her up.
Nope! She is my grandma on my dad's side, the only grandparent I have left. Grandpa was my mom's dad.
Oh hell, in that case I'd tell her to mind her own business. I thought she was the Grandma where the money came from, where I could see her being picky over how her husband's fortune was spent. Honestly if you don't have to, there's no point in working. Any sane person would quit the rat race if they came into money. She's probably just jealous.
