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

[mamba]

I know we're in a tough economy, brehs and brehettes.

But, honest question: how old is too old to be living at home?

Could you date a man or woman who still lives under the same roof with their parents and siblings?

Why is a man living at home unacceptable and creepy, whereas a woman living at home is acceptable?

Speak on it.

I kinda wish I had stayed with my people longer, cant beat not having any real majopr beals. There shouldnt be a set age for it for a younger person fresh out of college thats on top of their shyt, save money until youre in a good place financially, in your occupation, and good credit then leave. If youre a lousy nikka you probably dont give a fukk anyway

Once you get a house / apt note and bills it becomes harder and harder to save so enjoy that shyt while you can

I dont give a fukk about a woman staying with fam because it makes sense for some people as long as they arent religious nuts. I had a chick whos people used to have a no alcohol rule, I had to go outside in the winter to sip in the garage and it aint no fun getting drunk if youre freezin cold

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...

Depends on when you're ready

Sometimes you may have to sacrifice your independancy to help out the fambily with your income and give a better foundation to your younger siblings

But by 30 you need to be out or have reverted to plan B

it doesn't matter if you live with them or not. my question is how much do you depend on them?

but i would say at about 25 you need to be at least trying to be on your own unless there is a serious health/financial reason for you to stay. However, if someone is able to get out at 17-18 they should. Get a dose of reality early before college/serious employment or your parents pass away.

 

[Yup]

It doesn't matter, as long as you are a fully functioning adult. Moving out, does not necessarily make you grown. All it does is gives you space and freedom without having to report to anyone.
You can live at home and have responsibilities like you would, having your own place. The benefit of living at home, is it forces to learn how to live and to accommodate other people because unless you plan on being single for the rest of your life these are life skills that are just as important as 'taking care of yourself' both financially/emotionally and healthwise.

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.

 

[Yup]

@mamba I can see this topic being a serious one in the black community if most blacks stayed home until old age, but it is the reverse. Frankly, I don't see why it is so often a topic of discussion here.

I would want my kids to stay home until they have substantial savings to give themselves a headstart.

If you are a good parent, they would have started developing these skills at home before they 'leave the nest', so-to-speak.

I grew up with and had to learn how to accommodate other people from when I was a toddler up until I left for college. I have brothers. Then, I went to college and lived in dorms with roommates and off-campus apartments with roommates.

A person above 25 shouldn't be learning those lessons that late in life. That's a weak excuse. An able-bodied person, male or female, should have his or her own spot beyond a certain age.

Men aren't really given a pass for it, but women get a pass for it all the time. Most of these chicks would never take a nikka seriously who still lives at home past a certain age. Yet, men don't dismiss these chicks over 25 still living at home.

25 is too old

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.
