Spin: How old is too old to be living at home?

[Yup]

Most Black folks aren't staying home into old age. That much is true.

But, we do have a lot of folks in their late 20s/early 30s still at home. Unless you have some type of mental/physical disability, don't have yourself together financially, you're taking care of an ill parent, etc. there's no reason for a person above a certain age to still be at home.

I disagree, I think it is fine.

 

[Luck]

Why is it ok for a woman and not a man? A grown ass woman above 25 should be living on her own unless she's taking care of an ill parent or some shyt.

I wasn't speaking in general terms. That was in response to would I date a woman that stays with her parents.

Would you date a 33 year old man who still lives at home, in his parents' basement? Be honest, brehette.

And here we go...

Yes I would because african culture does not have the stigma that it does within black american culture.

As long as he is working has a presumably a career or on the path to one but chooses to stay at home until he marries which is usually what happens, I have no problem with it.

OK. I can see where you're coming from.

It's not that way in the West. Most Western women with options wouldn't take a man who still lives at home past 25 seriously.

I'm 29 and live at home although my parents are only here 6 months out of the year. I contribute to the mortgage, hydro, property taxes etc.


It's all "perception" that if you live at home your somehow rotting in your parents basement not paying bills or handling responsibility just playing videogames all day long.

It's amazing you can live at home and pay 1,000 a month for bills building equity and be viewed in a negative limelight but you can rent some little studio for 1000 a month and be considered responsible.

Hell if I never get married the hell I'm going to move out for ?

@Yup i think im in lub right now

25. drop date. unless youre taking care of your folks.

If you're a dude you should be tryna get out by 18. Unless you have a really big house/basement room/guest house living with your parents + trying to bring females through the crib just does not mix.

If you're a female i guess whenever you get your first decent job is good.

18.

Depends on the person and the culture.
Also on the economic climate.

When your grandparents got married at 18 or 20 in the 1950s, they could afford to move out because things were more affordable and if they had a union job with General Motors or whatever, they had a good amount of security. And I think a number of post-war veterans did well with the GI Bill, or whatever. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though.

In some countries people live at home until they get married.

Today in America, I think people start to look at you funny once you creep into your upper 20s.
I'm not one to judge others though because who knows what their financial situation is like.
Maybe they are saving money to buy a home.

A lot of people live at home or do the roommate thing and just pocket cash.
I wouldn't blame them. Sometimes people have tens of thousands of dollars to pay back in student loans...or maybe they just like the financial flexibility it offers them. They can travel, eat out, etc...

I don't blame you, breh.

The average 1BR where I live in the NY suburbs is $1,400.
Now I live on my own because I just can't deal with roommates and I need the peace of mind of coming home to a quiet house.

But realistically I do think about taking on a roommate situation or moving back home.
I won't, but it's tempting sometimes.
