if you 25 and still living with parents is that sad?

Question

i'm not 25 just wondering becauese thats the age i plan on moving out

Answer 1

I agree with The Pilot. It's not sad to be living with your parents at that age, I have a next door neighbor who just turned 30 and he's still living with his parents. The only thing that would be considered sad is if you don't make any future plans to take care of yourself, get a job, and save to move out. I work full time and pay for groceries, my car insurance and payments, while trying to save for an apartment. My parents understand that it's expensive to live on your own, so they are more than accommodating to me living there as long as I need to.

Answer 2

Not these days. It is sad when you're 50 something and come home (or have been there all along) and mooch off your very ill but still alive parent(s)- never lift a finger to assist them in any sense and do a lot of drugs and drinking. Oh, also, don't have a job or make any financial contribution. THEN it's sad. Worse...

Answer 3

Sounds like a good plan to me... If your relationship with your parents is good and you want to finish school in a financially stable environment, ( if that's what is at home) it makes good sense. Some wear out their welcome at home by partying, lounging around the house and neglecting to pitch in. A good balance of manners, respect and teamwork at home makes for a very secure future. It is my belief that we are all kids till we reach 30. While at home...watch how it's done, as far as paying bills, maintaining the home, house rules that work and rules that you can alter when you get your own home. Not a lot of people have your opportunity. Go for it!

Answer 4

I moved out of the house at 22 when I graduated from college. I felt that my parents raised me to adulthood. I should "pay" them back by going out and making something out of myself. Once I was 18 I started paying one of the bills every month. This taught me responsibility.

I think while you are in school if you live at home it isn't a problem. It is once you graduate and you have no job or goals that there is a problem.

One of my SIL is 27 and likes at home. She has no job, but goes to school (she has been going since she was 18 just jumping into different programs). Personally I think she should at least have a summer job...

Answer 5

I come from the old school and i believe that your children leave when they are ready and if they want to save money who are they to call them moochers, I think its great to get a good head start out there if it's possible for you. You'll have less to struggle with, that is what parents are for, to love nurture and to help their children regardless of their age in any way they can.

Answer 6

I depends on what you are doing with your life. If you are staying there just to bum off of your parents and dont have a job or are going to college, then that is sad. If you have a job and are working hard to save money before getting a place of your own, that that is not sad.

Answer 7

I guess that would largely depend on the circumstances...
If you are a mooch and you don't go to school or work then yes it is sad....
However, if you are furthering your education, or if you are working and helping out around the house and abiding by the house rules then no not at all.

Answer 8

i would do it before....like 18. go to college, have fun, get out from under the parents and rules. life is waayy too short to be relying on someone and being told what to do all the time. and if you are a guy...then that is really sad. ive dated some guys that still live at home and i couldnt handle their parents there all the time...so i def dont see how it didnt bug the guy 24/7

Answer 9

I think the more important question is, Do YOU think it's sad to be living with your parents when you're 25?

If you want my opinion, I think it's uncommon and people will tell you to move out, but it's certainly a lot easier financially, and you should do what you think is best for your life. (social status vs finance, for example)

Answer 10

guess i depens on why ur living there at 25, if it was planned that way its not sad, i just dont really understand why u would want to live with ur parents until u were 25.
