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.
If you’re financially contributing to the household (rent, bills, etc.) then I see it differently. You’re helping your parents.

Ok yeah so you agree, as long as you aren't a leech?
I still don’t think that would work for me personally. I enjoy my freedom and I feel confident enough in my income to not have to take it there but as long as someone is contributing to the household and all parties are okay with it I would say that it’s a no harm/no foul type of situation.

People really expect to achieve major milestones by 21 or 25? Ya'll wildin. If you have a dream go for it. Just try not to get in a lot of debt a long the way and build a back up skill in case it doesn't work out. You have plenty times to do something new down the line.

Explain. You got scholarships and grants or went to a state college and was paying down loans while working part time?

Interested in hearing this.

my job paid 100%tuition up to $4500 per year and you could still apply for grants/loans...the schools I went to even provided books. Some years I went some I didn’t some I took a good amount of classes some I only took 2-3...it took Me about 8 years :russ: but I got my associates within 2 though....just took forever to finish the program since I switched.​

Yea you purposely and conveniently left that part out.

Breh is talking about full time students taking out loans. You were a full time worker, going to school part time, taking forever to graduate with your job helping you with your tuition.

You don't apply to what he was talking about but clearly just wanted to puff your chest out to speak down on folks.

So let me get this straight, you happened to be in a good opportunity to go to school land accrue no debt because your employer was paying for you tuition and supported your studies? Now you wanna call everyone else with financial burdens who didn't have these opportunities that have to live at home not men?

You sound old. People don't even have "careers" like they use to. I done had 4 careers at this point and probably a completely new one by the end of 2020.

And honestly people should be staying with their parents or at least roommates as long as possible. So nah I don't see it as something you should be hurrying into.

It's a new landscape. Your talking point is about 30 years too late.

Everyone can have these opportunities...it wasn’t nothing special some likely had better opportunities.

I don't even want to dig into your story even further as I'm sure there are more holes than the ones we've now uncovered to show why you don't apply to what @The Computer is talking about, but it's clear you're on some bullshyt just to talk down to folks.
