Smoking on a Cac Pack
If you're living with your parents at 25- 30 you should be working, starting a side hustle and getting your flaws under control. Some people bounce around and take alot of L's in their 20's so I understand. I had my first place at 19 but rent was only $400 a month plus $70 in cable/utilities.
Some people develop bad habits of smoking, drinking and chasing women in their 20's. Some people have mental health issues that hamper their growth. Some people finally find a business idea @ 25 and it takes them 4-5 years to get it profitable enough to sustain themselves.
Growing up in the hood though I have seen ALOT of 40 year olds have to lean on or move back in with their parents because they had no savings and when they lost their jobs they got evicted.
Ive seen enough people die by 40 of sickness or the streets to know that the most important thing in life is FULFILLING YOUR PURPOSE, whatever that is. That's where the big payoff is.
If you're 25-30 and not giving your all to improve yourself and stack your paper then youre going to be 35-40 living in an apartment a 23 year old plant worker can afford. You should be making 6 figures at 35-40 if you have been applying yourself for the past 10-15 years.
Some of the most successful people in the world were broke between 25-30. Shyt even 50 cent was living with his girl at her Mama's house before he blew. Charlamagne talked about having to move back in with his mom's at 31 after getting fired from the Philly morning show.
It's not about who gets it first but who keeps it the longest and grows it the biggest. Do you

It's not so much just living at home with parents, it's moreso living at home with no job or active long-term game plan to establish yourself. That's the main problem here .
I'm at home right now, but I also had to study for MCAT and also I have a job as a chief scribe to stack up money to pay off future med school loans and improve my resume in the long run for when i move out in the next 2-3 years.

I'm 26 and actively apartment hunting. I've saved up enough for a deposit and have some months rent in savings.
This rings even more true if you're in an expensive city like NYC. If many of us weren't in our parents places we'd have two or three roommates. Go check the Craigslist roommate ads. It's a bunch of 30 and 40 something's with. No money wanting to spend $800 a month for a room in Manhattan.
I can't do roommates, I want my own shyt. I'm finally in a position where I don't have to do it and I can still get a decent one bedroom.

The standard of living in America is plummeting
In Leave it to Beaver one guy with one full time job could afford a house, housewife, cars, college for each kid.
What would you have to be making per year to do that now? $100K wouldn't be enough during college years for multi kids
So now. 2 people minimum to hold down a household if you have mortgage and kids. And now were going to the 4 adult household. Prolly 4 adults and 1 car eventually.
So we look at each detail of it trying to make sense of it based on 20th century wisdom. But no. Your dollars just ain't worth as much and that is going to get worse
So the kids living with parents is a step in the path
I'm back in my childhood bedroom right now. I was doing fine on my own out of state but I decided to come home after a long time. Peops are straight up senior citizens now so I am taking it on myself to help them out with everything.
But the economic situation is great. Bills are low and we split em.

in Toronto ive found that the common idea for most millenials was to work a full-time job+1 parttime jobs in order to stay afloat.
either that or you work in a warehouse doing general labour, hustle as a waiter at a restaurant or work as a nurse (most bytches flock to this industry)
Out of my circle of friends, only one nikka was truly stable enough to rent an apartment (works in finance) while the rest of us live at home helping pay the mortgage in hopes of taking the house off our parents hands once they decide to downsize.
I feel like living at home consistently in your adolescents will lead to over complacency on your parents and makes people less comfortable with leaving the nest. Its those experiences you have when living alone which teach you how to make it on your own without your parents assistance and how to properly manage your own. People are out here in their damn 30s STILL living with student debt while renting out a cupboard for an apartment in Toronto with no savings in sight
