Is 25 the new 21?

[87 others]

I feel like everyone should state their age when making a post in this thread because I have a feeling the ones calling people losers are going to be younger while the ones saying stay and build are going to be older

I’m 30 on the dot. Been on my own since I was about 19.

At age 25 you’re officially an adult to me... ain’t no excuses to be still living with your parents at that age... ain’t no excuses to not be working a full time job paying a decent wage... ain’t no excuses to not have a working vehicle..

21 is nothing.

edit: I’m 28

I didnt move out officially til 30.. I had 20k in the bank and I'm down to 10 a year later

Learned how to budget tho so I'm making a profit now

30 is the new 18.....

Lol I really don’t agree with this rhetoric at all. If you’re 30 and haven’t built at least some sort of ability to self sustain then it’s really not the world - it’s you.

If you living with your parents past 25, you better not have a car with a note, and a fcking baby..

Why would you be in debt moving out? There are so many jobs available that would have you stacking money while on your own too. You just have to leave your ego at the door about trades. shyt, I’ll even go as far as saying I understand staying in the house until you’re out of college at like 22-24 if you go that route but to be a grown ass 30 year old man? Nah. I don’t know. To each their own, I guess. I just think that this is a manchild attitude that lazy nikkas adapt and excuse it with some nonspecific “other races” rhetoric.

How is a nikka lazy if he is working a full-time job saving and paying debts to move out?!
Because everyone's situations are different some people have more debt. So yes most people wouldn't need to live in their parents place til they are 30
But why move out if you are still in debt and have no savings? You can establish a good career living at your parents house as well breh

If it works for you then so be it - I’m just giving my opinion on it. You keep mentioning debt. What debt are you talking about? Student loans? I mean, I could see living with your folks for a year or two if you’re really on hard times and needing to save but I don’t see something like student loans being a justification for staying at home and leeching off your family. I would just feel wrong “stacking” while I’m not contributing anything financially to the household as a grown ass man. What type of shyt is that? Think about your parents lol.

Don't listen to anyone saying you gotta move out at 21. If you can, stay with your parents, build your savings, move out at 29.

These white folks got their parents paying everything for them from their school loans to their fukking rent until they can really get on their feet.

I agree with you when you talk about someone being a man child when they have no reason to be living at home if they not doing shyt to plan to leave. But yes I'm speaking of student loan debt, credit card debt, lack of savings etc.

Maybe I'm different but I don't see why people need to be in a rush to move out if their parents are ok with it and they help out around the house.

If you are debt free then this doesnt really apply

Why stay there? I really want to know.

People like the city life, people dont want to leave where they were born and raised, lack of finances to leave elsewhere, being stubborn, etc.

What makes someone working, paying off debt, and saving money to start their life well off financially make someone a loser?
And provide for offspring? You can still do that.

Having a large familial unit does not make you not a man plenty of cultures have grandparents and parents all living in the same house and contributing in different ways.

I don't see the argument here other than looking for some clout due to having your own place (which you rent and pay 10s of thousands of dollars each year into some wealthy person's pockets while they sit on their ass not fixing shyt)

Nobody said anything about the size of the family unit or when it’s established....But as a man you should be ready and prepared after 18-21 to begin your transition into your own space and leave your nest...otherwise to me you aren’t a man yet...

and as you said once you establish your own space you can provide for others but you can’t do that laid up in another mans space...someone Staying at home until you are 30 should not be considered an adult they are special needs.

at 18 I left home and I’m doing decently and most others I know did only losers and special needs types stayed at home and even once they moved out it was just to some chick on section 8s spot here they couldn’t even establish a legitimate home.

Well, the way I see it any kind of debt is your responsibility and really shouldn’t fall on your family. If you couldn’t handle paying it then you should not have taken the money out. Especially credit card debt which is 100% a personal choice and wholly unnecessary. This is the mentality that I don’t agree with. The whole “bu-but i fukked up so how come I can’t live here? You have to take care of me.” To me, that just enables irresponsibility and creates man-children. Some lessons have to be learned the hard way and people using rich white kids getting their rent paid as an example just further proves my point. If your folks aren’t millionaires then why would you add to their financial burden because of your own mistakes. Seems selfish af. Again, if it works for you and your family then that’s between y’all - I’m just giving my view.

Its cities all over the nation to move to..

If you're single, no kids with a decent paying job, while you're at home..

Why not stack your money, go on the internet to see whats going on in other cities you like, and go after it?

No matter what the debt is always going to be your responsibility. You decide when it will be paid off.
I see your argument tho, but what if you are in a situation where your parents charge you rent but it is 1/3 of how much they pay? That's still significantly cheaper than living on your own correct and you are no longer a financial burden to them
The idea isn't to leech of your parents, it's to be there and help out at the house while utilizing this opportunity to pay off your debts.
