Default Hey, I've found where I fit in... Who do you know like this?

I'm someone who's 22, Still lives at home, and well... mooch's off their parents. This looks like a really sad state to be in at 22, doesn't it? Well read this article and tell me what you think of it after.

P.S: I don't think it's going to completely change your mind about older people still living at home, but coming from one of those people who matches almost every single thing in this article, It SHOULD help you understand what we're thinking.

I read about 70% of it, and although I don't feel the same way about jobs and the teenage mentality, I do feel the same way about marriage pretty much.

I read that in TIME magazine. It was kinda boring, and a lot of the comments people had regarding it the next week were boring as well. -_-

Mooch away.

I read most of the article. It sounds a lot like my older brother. He has a decent job but lives with my grandpa so he doesn't have to pay rent or anything like that. I wonder what he is going to do in a couple of years when his girlfriend gets done with college and is ready to get married or something like that?

I read about half of it and it reminds me of one of my previous teachers. He is 26 and he still lives with his mom, he's a really great guy though and he's doing just as well as someone who is not living with their parents. I think it's all a matter of comfort and some people aren't ready for that kind of a big change yet. As long as they're younger than 30 I don't see a problem with it. When people are above their 30s and still living with their parents that's just a little out of hand.

If your parents like having you around, and you aren't married. I think it is fine.

Default RE: Hey, I

That's me allmost exactly. I don't wanna grow up, I'm a toy'sRus kid. (well not exactly) I hate the idea of having to have to do anything. Ever since I was like 5 and saw how hard it was to be an adult with all the responsiblility involved. I've been dreading it.I see how tired my Dad is, he works his @$$ off and things are still hard for him. I'm almost 21 now and it sucks just as bad as I thought it would. I don't have enough money to live somwhere else and go to school at the same time. I feel like I'm a burden that I don't want to put on him so I moved out like two years ago. I was so dumb and irresponsible that I accidently moved back in ( long story) long story short I kinda moved back in three months ago, and I'm ready to leave again but, he really doesn't want me to.

So should I go and postpone the rest of college? Should I leave again and go get all of my stuff I left a thousand miles away. Or should I stay and forget my friends and what I want and just finish school to make him happy?

I believe it is difficult for anyone that lives at home instead of residence when going to college to make the final break off, usually just because there's no real appropriate opportunity to move out after that, unless you get close to marriage with someone. It's otherwise extremely difficult to just get up one day and say: "Allright it's time to find myself a new place," especially when the decision isn't even of economic benefit.

Especially when your parents don't want you to go, tell you it's a bad idea, or won't give their blessing or help you at all when you leave and try and put you through a guilt trip like your somehow hurting the family.

Both of my brothers moved out at 18. My oldest brother moved back in for awhile at 20 moved out again, then moved back in at 23, then moved back out recently and is almost 24 now. However, he did not have his own home. He pays part of rent with some 2 other friends. I am not sure where he moved to recently, but he is a professional hair designer. He makes pretty good pay, but spends it all on his nice clothes. http://www.jeffstump.com

My other brother, at 18, he moved out and lived with some of his band members (Essex Downfall.com) and about a year later moved back in here. He is almost 20 now.

There is some correlation between my brothers and the 'Twixsters". Except the fact that I believe my oldest brother, is settled in his career, moving on to designing hair in L.A. for famous movie stars and such. He is in the magazine "Sophisticated Hair Designs" available at any local store. Page 122 or somthing close.
