Why do so many in our community have this mindset? And we wonder why we don’t have any fukking generational wealthy or stability
It's terrible but this is worse. Parents have a full blown complete understanding of credit, home buying, automotive skills. But won't pass that info to the kids. Have a 'they will learn about it later' mentality.

If the child is fully financially literate at 18 you absolutely can cut them loose. The financial literacy is a big problem. Not teaching it in the home is a problem. Most schools have zero classes for teaching it. It's sad.

18-20 is not after college tho and yes you are right the path that they take allows them to leave home after college which actually might be in the late 20s sometimes even early 30s
You are right my bad I misread. but even then, most Nigerians and Asians go to college and those parents gladly and proudly support their kids through college.

At 18-20 a kid is nowhere near ready to be on their own. Both mentally and financially. Black people have to stop this mentality

This only happens in America.. elsewhere I've seen Black folks stay at home forever till they decide they need a move.

The shyt stupid nikkas say :scust:
And why his bytch ass worrying about other grown people living with their parents?
That's the whole purpose of being grown is to not worry about anybody else, right?

And when I do have some kids, I would want them to stay at home too til they are ready to move out on their own, regardless of age.

The wealthiest person in my family lived at home til he was 27, with his wife and son I mind you. He went from that to getting married and buying a home cash outright.

Yet the majority of black parents act like it's a symbol of pride to get your child out of the door at 17. Who cares if they' struggle, it's apart of life, at least I got my house back. Not everybody flourishes with that sink or swim shyt.
