That's the thing why would anyone assume that living with your parents you shouldn't get your priorities in order?
IMO living with your parents/ roomates should allow you to learn how to budget and stack money unless people are just enabling you to be dependent. In an ideal situation you should be able to get a job that allows you to save money for your future and at the same time help your parents with rent/ mortgage.
As long as you and your parents have an adult relationship and respect eachother as such, it should be a mutually beneficial set up.
What i do have a problem with is people leeching off of parents and not saving any money/ helping with any bills and just wasting time. Me being From NYC i find it real tough for someone who's making 30k to really ever help out their situation or break a cycle for their fam if they are paying at minimum a 1000$ a month on rent just to say i'm living on my own. All while calculating more debt btwn them & there parents possibly calculating more debt.

I'm 25, I'm currently in the process of closing my first apartment that I'm buying, in New York (Long Island.)
I graduated from College in 2010 and since then have been living at home, adding to my savings account since I was 16. My number one goal in life has been to be able to move out comfortably. I have a career, make a lot more then 99% of my friends and feel like I'm ready. That being said I don't regret staying at home, it's never once interfered with my social life, ever. That could be a testament to my mother and how I was raised and our relationship but more then anything you damn right I'm fortunate and I'll never say sorry for it.
I am lucky to have no student loans, and a mother who is helping me with the whole daunting process of BUYING my own place. I'm nervous but extremely excited to be moving out on my own and doing things independantly. I've been raised right and look forward to the challenge.
Living at home has allowed me to learn to do things like cook and financial planning, I'll be moving out with close to $20k saved up. Not many people, certainly not my friends can say that. But it's one of the many perks I had of staying home and saving up for this very moment.

Honestly, everyone's situation is different and things happen in life so I can't really judge anyone.... BUT, some of you guys are adorable.
With that said, I'm happy I'm not a part of this statistic.

I'm 29, on my own, live in a brand new house. I am selling it now and looking forward to moving back in with the parents for a month or 2 while I decide my next move as far as housing goes. I can afford it, that's not the issue, just not liking the area I bought in. I think I was 22 when I first moved out, so still in college

I'm actually sitting at one of my three jobs...so yeah I'm good. Lol. unlike most, I welcome judgement, let's me know where I stand. Some fold under scrutiny, I thrive.
And I write books and novels in real life...well will be done soon...by soon I mean next year lol long process, so strokes on a keyboard, working out my own ideas about life is no big thing to me.
Life is all about happiness, you do whatever you think will make you happy. Staying at home til 29 make you happy, do it, but know there are cats like me out there that wouldn't want you in our circle...and thats the kicker, you don't need to be.
Folks house is a pit stop, short and sweet.
Oh, and obviously you read my post, or atleast part of it because you knew it was about making judgments and decided "since he thinks it's ok to judge, let me judge him" no need to play tough pleighoi, it's only the internet, no needs to fake the funk.

I moved out at about 20 and knowing what i know in some ways i wish i had stayed longer, but that wasn't an option at the time tho and of course hindsight is 20/20
but if surely made a man of me being responsible for your own crib is a great feeling
+ the shorties love the privacy

You went to school and you had a plan to leave that you are actually following through with.
I can't knock you for that.
A lot to dudes are just advocating living at home so they can afford to buy Jordans.
Even in NYC I refuse to believe someone can't afford to live decent off 50k and not live at home. Especially when public transportation is so readily available.

Question to my famb that's with parents and handling the bulk of the expenses...
Do you still stay in your little room or do you get the master and make momb dukes get the smaller room?
May come off *** harsh... But if I move back to the crib... And I'm paying 80% of the bills... I get the big dog room.
Me and my mombs laughed about it.

Currently living on my own, but plan on moving back with my parents in a year or two. Only moved since I took a job in a different state. Going back to use would-be rent to pay down student loans and reach my goal for a house down payment.
No issues with having get togethers at crib or bringing chicks over when I was home. It really depends on your parents so you can't generalize everyone because yours would have you under lock and key.
Also, culture plays a part too. For some people you're expected to be on your own by 18. For me and others it's pretty much the norm to still live with parent for some time in your twenties. They bought a big *** house so you can live in it. Unless you're moving away for school, work or getting married, you're parents will look at you weird when you say your moving out before 28.

To pay bills lol. I'm in school and two of my jobs have excellent hours during the school year so I had to work during the summer to keep them up, also I've been with them for a while. Then, since I"m not taking classes this summer, I went out and found a third job for the summer for those hours I would have normally been in school. I have to pay part of my tuition because I am able bodied and don't want extra loans. My jobs are all pretty low key, two essentially pay me to sit in a chair; I spend the time reading/learning new skills (currently working through a business accounting book). I "work" (get paid) for about 90hrs a week, still living paycheck to paycheck because I gotta pay for school. It's tough, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Once this job is over, I'm going to be using the free time to intern. IDK, for as far back as I can remember, I never had the concept of "free-time" any time I was chilling I always looked for a way to make money; I use to hustle the library for free pizzas and ice cream for reading books, I'd read like three easy books a week to get my free pizza lol.
As far as being humble, there is a difference between pride and being proud of yourself. I'm very proud of myself, and like I said, old dude takes care of his kids, so he gets props. But being "humble" people only say that when someone else is proud of themselves. I'm not top dog, far from it, academics, socially, financially, but I do work hard. My circle is small, no squares. I'm saying "you don't need to be in my circle" as saying "do you, you don't need to run with anyone else" not on some "we are cooler than you" on some "be your own person, no need to be cool to anyone else."
"Tried being humble, humble gets no respect"- King Push.

I voted for Obama but I have to admit that I am very underwhelmed with his Presidency
My health insurance went from $87 a month to freakin $247 thanks to me having to pay for the folks who chose to do jack with their life; this def. correlates to those 18-34 yrs olds living at home

this is the benefit of living at the cribbo is to stack up money... i couldnt afford to move out on my own with the student loans, car note and other expenses so i had to save to pay those things off... i accumulated a bunch of money that paid for my car and my student loans and still have money in the bank... i can chill at the cribbo longer if i like to save more but i see no purpose in doing that since i already accomplished my goal of paying everything off... now its time to move out
