Anyone over the age of 17 still live with their parents? - Page 3 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.

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.

Sad, but true.

Not sad at all Brian. Thank you for your service to our country.

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

Especially when all that goes toward credit cards.

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.

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.

James28 · 10-10-2022, 01:06 PM

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!

Caroline13 · 10-10-2022, 02:04 PM

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.
