:yeshrug: i have no patience for that bullshyt



i keep saying.. if you contributing by doing something for your education, savings or helping them out... by all means... stay home till you're 55



if you working as a server, got a kid that your folks have to watch for you, paying your car, phone and insurance... and making them have to foot the extra bill for you living there... plus missing out on their own time they could be enjoying their life without kids.... then fukk you... you out here ruining your parents life so you can not have to be an adult

but if you just in there cause you got a shytty job and you can't afford to leave... you're a piece of shyt... burdening your parents cause you're a failure AND you not doing a damn thing to get from under that situation either.. just waiting around for them to die so you can take over
I don't think the article focusing on them. Ain't shyt people gonna continue to be ain't shyt their entire lives. Shacking off parents, off baby mamas, off they own they children. They gonna do that regardless.

This study is focusing on children who are doing some type of productive post highschool arrangement. The ones who are saving up but don't have enough for today's mortgage rates.

again... they CONTRIBUTE.. everybody in that asian, hispanic home is working.. multiple jobs sometimes... cooking, cleaning, and most importantly... paying bills together and saving money


they then send that money back home to more family... or use that money to go back to their country with hella dough.... send kids to college... open a business... etc



cruise around on fb and see these 28 year olds working dead end jobs, spending money on bullshyt, not paying shyt but their own phone bill, and mom and dad having to loan them money to take care of their grandchildren and shyt




shyt my brother lives with me... but he's in college.. and my parents give us food money cause it's cheaper than putting him in a dorm and he don't work... let his ass try that shyt with no job, no school and no money... he wouldn't be living in either one of our houses
as long as your something thats proactively getting you somewhere in life, or if your working a decent career job and just need to save money while helping your folks pay for bills around the house I see no problem. Cant be working a dead end job, no school an getting off scott free with nothing because eventually you'll be too comfortable being mediocre and never move out

but most aren't doing all that... you know damn well most people living at home aren't paying a big chunk of the rent and utilities... not half... and probably not even a third

most of them barely paying they own bills and buying their own food... and then they'll have kids in the same situation... and the parents never intended them to still be living there either. so it's a burden on them, they don't even get to enjoy their life without you there

and then you a grown man/woman... can't have friends over... gotta sneak in a date.. can't wake people up late at night.. got another grown person making the house rules




now if you doing something productive, it's wonderful.. you saving up money for a home... you going to school... or even if you had a temp. setback... cool

but if you just in there cause you got a shytty job and you can't afford to leave... you're a piece of shyt... burdening your parents cause you're a failure AND you not doing a damn thing to get from under that situation either.. just waiting around for them to die so you can take over


So what would you say to me in terms of advice? I don't want to be a burden on my mother and want to move out.


I'm 30 years old and live with my mother. She financially takes care of me. I am unemployed/broke and only have 30 dollars in my savings account. I spend all money I ever get from my mom on junk food because I am addicted to junk food. I am obese at 275 pounds.

I have a two year degree in Business Management I got this past December. I also have 60,000 in student loan debt because I went to a 4 year university and fukked around/didn't apply myself.

I am unemployed and have been applying/looking for jobs since I graduated this December.

Also. am timid, have bad social anxiety, low confidence.

Try a homeless shelter, maybe it will toughen you up.


Its only gonna get worse if you stay at home, imagine yourself in 5-10 years.

you seem happy where you are... i'd advise your mom to stop giving you money... if that didn't help you get motivated to get on your feet, then she should kick your ass out... homelessness will inspire a lot of people to start working


you're in the best position in life... from YOUR situation, it's a fukking dream... you get to not do shyt everyday and still live as if you're actually doing something... so saying anything to you, would be pointless.. because getting a job, having to work, all to pay bills and not have help... isn't really a situation you'd rather be in... so you won't try as hard


it'll be your mother who either gets sick of you and shows you the door... or leaves you everything for you to squander one day



only thing i would say is talk to her... ask her how she REALLY feels about you being there.. and hopefully her answer will make you want to do better for her

i went back over summer break from college in 2002, never again, cant do it.

I live in vegas so i was able to afford a house, but all of my cousins that live back in the bay area either live with their parents or roomates, its too expensive


People that say its too expensive just dont wanna sacrifice or put the effort in. I mean I can understand cars and nice clothes being too expensive but I don't think you can put a price on your own independence. They are just comfortable.

I gotta lot of friends like that too, its expensive where I live.

I'd say a lot of the compatibility issues just has to do with the fact that certain people just straight up not compatible living partners, and that can include a parent and child. shyt just don't work for some, person A wants to do shyt this way while person B wants it another way.

For others, they can co-mingle quite well. I think the spacing of the house is a great factor as well. Gonna be a BIG difference with a house that has a basement living area the size of a whole apartment compared to say one small ass apartment room being shared by 6 people.

Failure to launch is only an issue now because the majority of white millennials can't make irresponsible decisions anymore without emptying their bank account and falling behind on rent...unless they shack up with equally sloppy and irresponsible coworkers/roommates.

Gotta dine out, club, and bar-hop every weekend like when they were 21. New iPhone every 9 months because you want to upgrade or broke your old one, trips to the beach or out the country so you can floss on social media.

As for me I'm not in the rat race. I ain't cutting a $700 check to a racist landlord either just to say I don't live with a relative. I'll continue to stack this money until I can get a side-business off the ground and put down 20% in a good neighborhood in prime real estate.
