How many of you are over the age of 17 and still live at home with your parents? I mean, have never moved out of the house.

other than living at college during the school year, yes.

:banana:

I am thirty five years old, will be thirty six on march 21st, 2005 and I finally moved out of my parents' home about three years ago. I live with my boyfriend of almost ten years.

:mango

I'm 18 and still live at home. I'm In No hurry to get my own place. Maybe another year or two.

No, and thank God. I'd probably go insane. I love my family and all, but I need my own space.

Yeah I do...I go to college now and it's here in town, so it's cool.

Well for now,Yes,but until I find a good job because I live
in a small where there is very little oppurtunity,besides
I babysit my little nephew is year away from beginning school.
Anyways as soon he starts I want to find a job somewhere else
so I can save up some money and buy a place of my own.

Opposite for me. I live at home durring the school year, then I'm going to Minny for the summer.

I'm 19 and a full time college student. I live at home with my parents because I live close to the school.

I still live with my parents. Well, I live mostly with my dad. My parents are seperated.

With the exception of that one year I lived 2 hrs away in a dorm, nope...never moved out. I'm 25 and still live with my parents.

1) I'm an only child anyway.

2) Apartments suck and rent sucks.

3) I have no job.

4) I'd miss real food.

5) I'd be here all the time anyway, so why leave?

6) I get garage space.

I'm 24 and still living with my mom it's too expensive here in MA to get an apartment I'll have to either go to college or get married to get out of here

I'm 18 and I do, but thats just because I am a senior in hs...no need to move out yet

I'm 16 (almost 17), but I will reply anyway.


I'm moving out for good next August, so exciting-


My mom is an aspiring slum lord, so she is buying a duplex for me to live in in college, because it is actually less a month than a dorm, and then she still has it when I'm done with college.

But since she will own it I wont even have to move back in during the summer.

I'm 17(18 in June). I'm moving out in July. woo hoo

Im 20 and still living with them. Ditto on everything Cathy said.

I lived at home forever. (well it seemed like forever) I loved having someone cook my meals and do my laundry.

Im 19 and have been out of the house now for three years.

I'm 30 and I like with my grandmother. I take care of her if she needs it. If I weren't with her, she'd probably have to live with my aunt or my dad or someone, which she doesn't want. For the most part she gets along okay, she just tends to fall alot.

I like living with her, she's been pretty much a mother to me my whole life :)

I am 18 and still live at home. We have our ups and downs but it is okay for the most part. I can't afford my own place but am saving up for it. :)

Im 19 and I still live with my mom. Ill probably be moving in with my boyfriend soon though.

22 years old. Live in a dorm, but only for another two weeks!

Then I GRADUATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then I get to move back home with my parents while I look for a job ;)

I've left my parents years ago! When I was 17 now I'm 20:)

I'm 19 and I still live at home. I work and help my mom with the bills, but I would like to leave this town and travel.

I live with my parents right now cause i can't seem to get a full time job. I wanna move out very badly & get my own place. My mom even told me last week i need to work on gettin my own place next year cause when her & my father move into another house, she doesn't want me living with them. I was staying with my grandfather before i moved back with my parents but my grandfather died so i had nowhere else to go. I got a feelin that i might end up homeless cause it's so hard for me to find a full time job. I'm scared of being homeless.

:yeahthat

I do-and I am 28 years old.

my dad wants to move out of this house in a few years and live in tucson or something. and i plan to continue living here myself. i <3 this house and it's not for anyone not in our family so HAHA. and take my word for it when i say no one else will ever live here. i've watched enough episodes of beyond belief to know how to take care of those things.

Yeah.. I'm 18 and am a senior in high school. I'll be a full time student next year at a private college close by so my only choices are either living on campus or commuting from home. I'll be living at home since it costs thousands more to live on campus-- and tuition is already roughly 18,000 a year. Even though most colleges don't allow people to live in their own housing (aside from with parents) until they reach senior status, it would be really dumb for me to waste money on rent. Virtually every penny I make working goes toward my tuition. If I was living on my own, I probably couldn't even pay a monthly rent.

I'm 22 and am still currently living with my parents.
However, I own a home in Glasgow and I plan to move in as soon as I can get a job nearby.
I like to think of my situation as 'in transition'. At least that's what I tell any girls who ask. The laydeez aren't very impressed when you tell 'em you still live with mommy and daddy. :rolleyes: :lol:

I moved out on my own when I was 20. I worked, saved and bought new furniture and everything else for my new apartment. I never had a roommate.

My husband moved in when I was 25. Those five years as a single gal with my own place were a lot of fun, to put it mildly. :lol:

I'm 19 and I still live with my parents. I'll most likely be moving out in 2006. I'll probably be going to California State University Fullerton that year, which is almost a two hour drive.

I do. (I'm 18). I have no problem moving out and living a life of my own, but I'm going to a college about 15 minutes away, and I decided to just save money and stay with my parents. I'll probably leave in a few years though.

When I graduated HS at 18, I joined the navy and went to war. :lol: Sad, but true.

Me either. $400 a month in wages don't cut it 'round these parts.

Especially when all that goes toward credit cards. :o

My dad joined the Army and went to Vietnam after HS in 1967.

In my neck of the woods it's a minimum of 800.00 a month. Good places are $1000.00 and up. Houses sell for millions. You need a couple roommates or get married at age22 like they did in the 1950's or you tend to stay with Mom and Pop and eventually inherit the house.

That's my plan, seeing as marriage isn't exactly on my horizon.

I live at home and Im glad........ I dont wanna be w/o my family....... I guess im scared to be totally alone....My mom passed away a couple months ago and I dont wanna lose my dad :(


This world is a mean place now!

Way back a long time ago while I was "growing up" people got married so much younger and I was the oldest of my gfs' and I was 23. Today, not the case at all. Guess so many people saw unhappy marriage in their homes and divorces and the cost of living kept going wild, in many cities, so it's a whole different world now. I got married at 23, made a life with husband, got divorced and spent the rest living on my own and working 40 yrs.

In recent times too, couples live together, kids are born in that home too and then kids come into the world not having a father to rely on. These are the deadbeat dads, they don't care.

I have continued living with my parents since my high school graduation in 2011, simply because I can't afford to live on my own. If you add not being able to afford college, get a better career than what I have, or find a decent potential spouse on top of that, and you have the formula of a less-than-proud resident of Little Cleveland!

Living with parents can help both parties and works in many lives. And all i know about NYC housing costs, omg, and CA is horrid enough, and wonder who are those in charge of running these 2 states and some others too!!!!! My niece lived in and out of her parents homes and they are E.C. people, and finally at about 50 she bought a house in R.I.
