Thanks. Got my first house @ 26, never would have been able to do that by paying rent
Living with your parents until you are 26 is not the same as living with them until you 66. I wanted to be on my own asap. It was not easy but I am glad I did it.
Yeh...a few....and the parents are more than happy to have them there, cause they help out when needed....course, they're all single as well.
It'd be a special women would go with such a man.
My neighbor is a great guy – divorced but a good conscientious father. He’s lived in the same house for about 30 years and has put a lot of work into it. His college student son has been living with him.
His daughter has always been an annoying whiney self-centered creepy brat. At 17, she got pregnant and eventually married the loser father. They had two more children. They fight constantly, and she has often come back to stay with her father.
Now, she and her husband have gotten into a financial mess and were about to become homeless. So she brought loser husband and their three small kids to live with her dad in his 3-bedroom 1-bath house. But there just wasn’t room for all those people, so she persuaded her dad that he needed to move out. After all, she has the children to worry about. So dad is going to move in with his parents while daughter and her brood will stay in his house.
It’s supposed to be temporary, but I bet she’ll still be there in a year.

I'd be happy for my kids to live with me as adults, so they could save up money. Paying rent is a hardship for people trying to buy a home. I couldn't really live at home with my parents because the house was too small and my mom was a hoarder. But I kind of wish I'd had that option instead of paying rent for years.

I bet she will be there in 10 years. Any one that would ask their dad to move out of his own home will not care that he wants to move back.

I feel very lucky being able to have that option. It really helped me get on a good financial footing.
I'm not interested in judging people who still live at home. Guess what? Some of them are caregivers to their aging parents. Why can't people at least give them credit for that?
Because there was NOTHING wrong with his mother other than being a religious cult member who used her son as a surrogate husband since age 9 and I would have liked to have had a life with him .
We were in our 50's and it was just ridiculous the rationalizations she came up with .
If she were so religious she would have remembered the leaving your parents part .
No one could make him leave and in spite of his jobs , patents , how smart he was, how much he loved me etc etc etc . His life was ruined by a sick person who made him think over a lifetime that he somehow had to stay . Although I was saying goodbye by email after ( or possibly during his death ) he died I couldn't help but think of a wonderful life ( his) wasted .
