im a 22 yr old guy and still livin with my parents!!dont u think its crap!?

Answer 1

You kids piss me off ! you gave no info. Do your parents mind? are you paying any rent-some money is better than no money? are you working --THIS IS THE REAL QUESTION are you saving money? the second real question... the ideal is to live at home till you can down payment a house.. HOW ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT NUMBNUTZ? enlist in the army?

Answer 2

No, I don't think so. And it depends on your situation. You haven't told us anything.

Are you working or attending school? If neither, then your parents need to lay down the law and expect you to either be in school full-time, work full-time, or half & half. It's either that or kick you out. They would be doing you a favor since you'd better find out now how tough it is to earn a living and pay bills all by yourself, instead of finding out when you're 30.

You'd better get yourself prepared for life because mommy and daddy won't live forever. If you don't have any skills, you won't get much of a job - and everything is so costly nowadays that survival is difficult even when one DOES have a well-paying job. Add to that the fact that you will probably have only one paycheck for awhile and things can be very hard. One can't always count on friends or family. As each year goes by, you will see your friends get married, move away, and/or develop other interests. They won't be able to support you. And as your parents age, they will need every dime they have for their medical problems. In fact, the time will come when YOU should be supporting and helping them.

You are 22 and still have time. But don't waste too much of it. If you can, work your way through college. I did. Four, or even six, years go by quickly compared to 36 or more working years in your career. Get a college degree - in anything - but get that piece of paper! You don't want to do things backwards as so many people have done. They get pregnant or spend years doing nothing; then when they get older they suddenly decide they need more money and want to go back to school. But in the meantime, you have bills to pay. It's not easy.

Here is how it should be done: first you get a good education, then a well-paying job, then buy property, then if you wish you can get married, and then - and only after all the other criteria have been met first - do you even think about cranking out kids. To do it in any other order is doable - but it shortchanges the children. Even the birds of the air know to make the nest before you lay the eggs!

Hope this helps. Whatever your situation, please try to save some money and educate yourself so you can have a better life. It can be done. No one is asking you to do anything harder than we have all done already.

I saw a poster once. It showed a 10-car garage with 10 fabulous different cars such as a Lamborghini, Maserati, Rolls Royce, etc. The title of the poster said, "Reasons for higher education." I think that said it all.

Answer 3

Kevin:

No, it's not crap, it's a smart decision! Get your degree, establish yourself then move on when you are professionally and financially independent.

We are living in an unstable society where the economy is up and down. Do not let pride or ego run you into an early financial grave all because you want to be "cool." with the babes. Handle your business and the "coolness" will come.

There are so many Americans who are in debt and would love to move back home and start over again. Enjoy where you are, take advantage of the fact that you have supportive parents that have not kicked you out on the curb. Get the degree buddy!

Answer 4

No I don't, you have the opportunity to save your money, buy a car if you don't have one or a house, what ever go on trips and see the world ect, but if your not happy with it, only you have the power to change it, if you don't have a job get one or go to collage, to get a good job. your opportunity's are endless when you don't have all the responsibility's of being out on your own, take advantage of it well you can, you are still very young, but don't wait to long to decide because I think their is a limit before it becomes like you say crap

Answer 5

Looks to me that, you already have the answer inside you're Q.
so why aren't you moving out? If you have a job that pays, seems to me you're able to have you're own place. But again, if you can stay at home free and it wont cramp you're social life well, it's expensive out there, maybe it's not so bad staying home? Also, there are always the women's apartments, where one can stay for a while? Maybe this is the kind of guy you are? You get my meaning?

Answer 6

I don't think it crap.It depends on your culture.I am hispanic and I know a lot of young people who still live with their parents.They may be still going to school or just working until they get married.It is not unusual but I know when I grow old my kids will take care of me.My parents care of my grandparents and will take care of my parents when the time comes.You don't see many hispanic elderly abandoned in old folks homes.

Answer 7

It's only crap if you feel it is.

It depends where you live. In the UK, children still live with their parents until their late 30s as moving out is too expensive. I think being in your 20s is too early to worry but it is a consideration.

Answer 8

I know some guys in their late 30 and 40's still living at home with their parents. So. I say No.

Answer 9

i lived with my parents when i went to college and my bro moved away as did my sister.

after college, i moved out of state with my bf, then after breaking up, i moved back in with my parents (about 2 years after moving out in the first place). my bro had come home to go to college so was living at home at that time.

my parents then moved to hawaii (but left us the house). my bro and i smoked so much pot while they lived in hawaii for 2 years.

it was the best gay bro straight bro bounding experience, my sis would come by and we would party so hard. My bro and I are 5 years apart and we had the best bonding experience being slackers, but the most important thing is that we knew it wouldn't last and got our sh*t together, eventually.

it was a blast.

i was 27, my bro 23, my sis 25.


good times, good times!!


SO NO, I THINK IT'S AWESOME YOU LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS CAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT MAY HAPPEN

Answer 10

Depends. If you're going to a local college, that's a smart way to save some cash. If you're disabled, it might be the best way to go for now. But if you're normal and not in school, what the heck are you doing?! Get a job and get out!
