I have a friend who is 24 years old still works at Kroger. Thje only car he owns is because he wrecked his moms van after he had it for a year. The van was worth 4000 dollars he had it for a year and only paid mom 200 dollars. after the wreck hi mom wrote off the payments for 1000 so he bought a car with the remainder. Now He actually saved money for a motor cycle . Recently he started bragging about this and that and had the nerve to ask me and my GF why we are broke. my GF have live out of moms house since we were 18 and have payed our bills accordingly but have little extra cash so he thinks were broke. He pays a total of 140 to live at moms housxe a month and then only has insurance to pay for. Also His sis is almost thirty and still living at moms house as well. whos wierd me or him and should I be mad.

No you should not be mad, you should thank your lucky stars that you are not as immature, irresponsible or unfortunate as your friend is. Look at it this way, his mom will not be around forever and then what in the world is he going to do? Parents don't realize what they are doing when they keep doing EVERYTHING for their children, including paying their bills for them. Even though your girlfriend and you don't have the play money he has, you have something way more valuable.
The next time he asks why you guys are broke, tell him that you believe in paying your own way, not having someone else do it for you, and by the way it is impolite to inquire about someone else's finances!

What's the point of being mad? He obviously hasn't grown up yet. Let it go. You know what your circumstances are and you know what you're doing with your life. That's the only thing that matters. If he feels a need to taunt you, he obviously needs a way to take the attention off himself. Maybe you can offer to teach him how to handle his money better so he can learn how to be more responsible.
Reagardless of who's living where at what age, everyone has their own lives and their own story. Try not to judge other people. In today's economy, there are a lot of people who have to live with family in order to make ends meet. Just do the best you can and don't worry about what anyone else is doing.

You should not be mad. I look at it like this if he wants to know why you have no extra cash tell him you have more bills than he does. If he does not realize he is not making abtter life for himself unlike you are then that is on him.

You have the right to be mad but what you need to do is shut him up. The next time he starts bragging just say "Wow you really are able to do a lot, I hope you thank your Mother for her financial support."
Good luck!
