after you finish college. However every situation is different, so we'd need more details to give a better answer.

I don't know if there's an exact age.
I think it's more the situation. It's ok, if a person lives with their parents because he (she?) is going through a tough personal time (unemployment, divorce, health issues, etc.), or right after college or even grad school in order to save up some money, or if the parents need some sort of support (health, financial, etc.), or if there are grandkids and the parents can look after them while you go to work/ school.

It really depends. I would think it's a problem if someone lives with theior parents and it's a situation when that person really could/should move out and strike out on their own but they're too lazy, too timid, too dependent, too everything. They just can't really grow up and enjoy life. In that case it's odd. But I think if someone already feels deep down inside that it's odd, then it definitely is!

After 25.

I think if you are younger then 25, you have a lot of leeway.

Kids are going to college for longer. Undergrad and Grad Programs are taking longer and costing more money.

With the increase in housing costs, gas, utilities and even basic living expenses; I think it's normal to see a recent college grad living at home, working full-time and saving money.

It actually seems like the smart thing to do. College kids have thousands in debt ( I have 50K in student loans) Trying to pay those off and get started on your own is difficult.

I think it's smart to stay with your parents, if they allow it; save up and go out into the world w/ little debt and a nice chunk of change in the bank for an emergency.

I think that depends on each person and their situation. If a person is in their 20's and in school full time, I don't think it looks odd. On the same token, if a person lives with their parents but helps out with bills, I don't think it looks that odd. If a person lives with their parents to help out, I think it's great. It all depends!

Well it really depends on the situation. If the kid is still in school and can't afford their own place then I see no problem with living at home with mom and dad or they should move into the dorms. But if they have a job and have the money to get their own place then they should really be out by 21-25.

It would really depend. I didn't move out of my parents house until I had enough $ to put a deposit down on my own home, at 31 yrs old. Then went through a hell of a divorce, save your pennies, lost the house. Found a job out of state, moved, office closed, out of work again. Blah. But, then my 90 year old Grandmother took very ill and my wonderful independent relatives no longer had the time to help her out. So, we helped each other, I moved in to take care of her and she let me live there to stabilize my insane life. I'll tell you 1 thing, it's reeked havoc on my love life and weight. But at least it's for a good cause.
If I had to live with my parents again, I think I would just shoot myself in the head and get it over with. LOL!!!

it depends on circumstances. But if you are 30 and older with no job, not really looking for work, and you laugh at people that have a means of work. You are past odd. You my friend are the lowest of pathetic people. and even lower than that if you have children you are supposed to be supporting.
