Nope, but if my business fails I'll be right back there.

There's no wage stability and inflation will probably fuck up my cash flow. If I lose a fee clients then no idea how I'll cope.

I'm not even in my own house, there's no affordable homes and rents are ridiculous. I feel like I made a few mistakes when I was 17 and choosing my degree and I've fucked up my life for good.

Depends entirely on your circumstances. Of course it's possible but you only hear the success stories. There's no way I could physically save enough to put down a deposit in the UK at the moment.

I ended up starting a business because the only other work I could even consider was zero hour contract stuff and no guarantee of monthly earnings. I made a single mistake because my teachers convinced me to do an engineering degree I knew I couldn't handle and ended up with a stressful and uncertain future.

Shit's fucked

Moved out at 21. 24 now and doing fine, but my mom keeps suggesting that I move back in because there's no need to be spending that rent money but it's really just a pride thing for me.

30 now, lived with my parents from age 21 (end of uni) until age 28. It definitely had downsides and I felt like a loser at the time but now I own my own home and have about £60k in savings and investments and live a very comfortable life while most of my friends struggle to rub two £10 notes together to make rent.

If I'd not moved back in with them I'd probably only have £15-20k and would defiantly still be renting.

I've seen way too many people who have their apartments, food, and bills paid for by their parents to give a shit about people who live at home.

I see nothing wrong with living at home while you are getting education or working. It put you in a lot better financial standing when you leave. I will graduate in 1.5 years with an engineering degree and leave with no debt, I have an internship at a local company and have been offered a job when I graduate. I will continue to live at home until I save up a downpayment on a house, and then move out into my own house at age 22 and have roommates that will cumulatively pay my whole mortgage. I will have my housing paid for while I gain equity in the house and will have the ability to aggressively invest and have the ability to retire very comfortably at age 40 if I choose to do so
>>
>>40275140
what's the point of moving to a house with no privacy and paying for it when you could just live at home with no privacy for free?
>>
>>40275367
For college to be a smart decision you basically have to be going to a school that is: cheap (< 40k all together), accredited, close enough for you to commute from home (eliminate all housing/living costs, so you're only paying tuition), and then you have to be going for a good degree.

Not many degrees are marketable in that they will land you jobs in that field. And then you have to consider the fact that you're basically locking yourself into the pursuit of that field, if you end up doing something else you probably didn't need the degree to begin with.

Long story short, if your degree doesn't require you to take up to at least Calc 2 then you should just enter the workforce at 18 & skip college.

>>40275368
In the past adult children would stay at home until they found someone to marry, then they would move in together in their own house. So it might be the other way around that telling your kids to leave when they become an adult is perverse and unnatural.

It's only in the last 50 years of less (and even then more of an american culture thing) that moving out at 18 proper (i.e. dorms or houseshare at uni don't count as 'moving out') is a thing at all. If anything, it is you people who are unnatural. There is nothing perverse about the situation as for the majority of humanity extended families was far more common and still is in most countries (which again don't share the perverse, unnatural, and unsustainable american way of life).
>>
>>40275883
Best of luck to you, mate. One of the most respected Colonels I knew enlisted at age 18 and gradually moved up the ranks, getting his credits during active duty, and was eventually promoted to the officer ranks. Either way, even if you didn't get into officership after undergrads, you can still have a very successful military career. Best of luck.

Thanks, I've got plans for after the Army if I don't want to stay past one enlistment but I think it would be really great to do 20+ and enjoy it.

I guess I should be honest here and share my experience for once

Living at home after 20 is one of the worst things you can do in your life and you will be left behind and won't progress until later in life. If you are smart and living at home thats cool, but don't let the comfort of living with enough money to get by and staying comfortable be your life.

I lived with my parents and two other brothers and one sister until I was 26, and than I moved to another state on my own, was offered a top job in my profession and now have my own apartment at 28. The worst things is I have become a loner, from years of working, and coming home late at night to sleep in my room, alone and miserable. My family knew I was miserable all the time and the move to another state to jump start my career was a great one, but it came at a cost. All those times I have wasted from 20-26 just living at home with my parents, and my mom constanly wanting to cook for us, it leaves an impression on your life that someone will be there to take care of you, but it isn't needed and shouldn't be socially accepted. You have to move out, and learn to live life on your own, at this point seeing my family 3-4 times a year can be hell, but I could never move back to that house. I have learned so much being on my own. and I have finally seen what life can really be about

tldr. used to be a unsuccessful guy who lived at home since 26
tldr. was always depressed and continued the cycle of feeling like shit, in the end you need to move on and you should in no way live under your parents roof unless they need help for some reason... there is no exception to this, for you to be a productive member of society and a well functioning person you can't and should not live under your parents roof, that is childish behavior

It's only been 1.5 years but hey, don't plan on moving yet. Payed off my student debt my first year of working. Car is next. Literally set by the end of next year. Then I'll think about moving after another year or two.

It's one of the worst things you personally could have done. It works out for many people with a decent family and a decent social environment where they already live.

I've seen most of my peers gain 'independence' by heading to Uni for 4 years and then spend the time since renting some average place for a stupid amount, working hard to advance their careers yet putting vast amounts of their hard earned cash into some foreign scum landlord's pockets.
It's getting very, very difficult to reasonably get onto the housing market. It's becoming the total norm for young people to work and rent, saving almost nothing and not making any headway into owning property of their own.

And as the housing shortage grows, the prices go up and up and it just becomes a total fucking joke.
I wish I'd have had the guts to stay at home after Uni instead of running off to rent some shithole with 3 other people.
I could have saved thousands upon thousands.

I couldn't though, because you've gotta go where the work is. If you're looking enough to have kind parents that live in a place where you can get a good job you'd be mad not to live with them until you've advanced sufficiently to start paying a mortgage.

Even if you get there though it's no guarantee. The housing market is truly fucked. It's a small matter of time before it shits the bed and takes the economy with it.

Honestly, anyone else in the UK, if you can't afford to start buying and letting properties right fucking now I'd make every effort to save everything you can and gtfo of this country ASAP because before long you're going to be shit out of luck.
We're getting to the point where you'll be considered lucky to rent a one bedroom cupboard in a dodgy borough of london for 1,500 a month.

We're all fucked I tell ya. Save your money. Move.

18 here just started my second semester of my physics degree.
It's honestly impossible to move out at this stage while attending college. Can't imagine it would even be possible while attending college. Parents make too much money for financial aid so they help me out while I take out loans.
They love me I love them, why wouldn't I live with them during breaks? I'll probably stay with them until I pay off my loans (I'm planning on paying off about $25k debt in one year, going full penny pincher mode). I'll think about moving out after that. It literally makes zero sense to just move out to feel independent. It's literally just occupying a room in your parents house.

You're lucky, I'm moving back out in a week but I got told to my face if I bring any more girls over I'd be out on my ass. Having been kicked out at 19 I wasn't very keen to have it happen again.

I'm glad I don't have stuffy parents.

31 and live at home lol. Currently work minimum wage but I have a decent amount saved, enough for a house deposit.

Probably going to start a degree this year to finally get a qualification in something and I'll be able to graduate debt free.

I'm 33 and I live in a house with my parents.
I live upstairs, them downstairs, the only thing we share is the front door.
I earn enough to move out if I wanted, but my options would be to either sell my soul to the jew bankers for the next 20 years or rent, which is basically flushing a third of my income down the drain for the dubious luxury of living alone.

"don't let the comfort of living with enough money to get by and staying comfortable be your life."

Fits me. The world is a scary place and all that stress can get to your head. I'm satisfied making 25k a year in my parents house with no friends, no hobbies and my career. I have no relationship with my siblings, parents or family. I have nothing to spend my money on other than getting /fit/. I was able to find the only thing in the world that made me happy, and it was through exercise.

I'm a "very nice" skinny bipolar 8 inch dick kid with nothing but time on my hands. My day job is cognitive behavior therapy.

When I'm not thinking of my clients I'm at the gym.

I'm happy. It takes a big heart to understand happiness.

do it somewhere else, you have to understand that parents don't really want to hear/know about that. In their eyes if I want to get my fuck on it better be out of sight out of mind.That's their prerogative it's their house and their rules. Hence why I'm moving out.

I don't get it, I fucking couldn't wait to get out of my parents house. I did couple of years of college, joined the navy, broke my back and got retired with a pension, then finished college...then I got crohns disease and had a fuckton of surgeries but I had healthcare from the navy so I'm not in debt from it.

Boot camp was better than living at home, I get that its not like that for everyone but at some point you need to get some guts and live on your own. Your parents resent you for still living with them they just don't want to tell you.

I lived with my parents until I was 32 but paid for my shit since I was 16, never asked for any money.
Living with them and not paying rent was the only way I could save money from my job to buy some land and build my house.

In retrospective I don't regret it because I could accomplish that but there's only one life and my prime go-live-your-life years were definetaly not a party or a rollercoaster.

I cried the first night I was on my own in a university dormitory, in a different country, at nineteen. I explained it to myself as loneliness. But I was fine after, and I now realize I told myself I was lonely out of some misplaced, residue respect for my parents.

My mother was a vicious abuser, my dad a spineless enabler, and I cried out of relief.

>FREE, FREE AT LAST!

Sometimes I had to last for five days on a box of spaghetti, a can of pineapple, and some salt, but I never moved "home" again. My parental house was never a home anyway. I have my own home now, and a six figure income. We're all gonna make it, anons.

I grew up in a University city, went there for my undergrad so I lived home.
Did grad school away and worked in that city for a year after that. Got a dog during that time.
Moved home when I got another job, my parents were delighted to have me and fell in love with my dog.
Now I'm still at home two years later, partly because dog, partly because I get along well with my parents, partly to save money. It doesn't really "cramp my style" or anything, and it's really helping me save for a down payment that will slow me to get a great mortgage on a house by September.
If you don't get along with your parents (which I do) or you're trying to pick up girls (which I'm not, I'm engaged to a girl I'd been dating for 5 years, she doesn't give a shit about me being at home because she's thrilled I'm saving for a house) then yeah, living at home could be a drag, but where I live, it's not uncommon, and it really doesn't bother me at all.

I turn 21 in 3 months and i still live with my parents. I always said I'd find a GF when i had my own ride and house. Which will be later. My parents started late making a family so they're old and i don't have a lot of time with them. Especial considering they're both diabetic, refuse to exercise unless i bargain with them, and my siblings don't help at all.

I'm also going to school and barely make enough money to get by on car payments.
>If I moved out it would be
-%50 car payments
-%60 rent

Nothing else. I can't have insurance, food, gas or anything. And that's at full 40 hours 2 x minimum wage.

Tips:
Never let your parents control your money.

Work 80 work weeks through college. School being 12 hours with homework.

Have a hobby besides lifting or else you will go insane.

24, moved back in with my folks after attempting to be self-sufficient in a shitty town for about a year. Failed hard: got fucked out of a job opportunity, lost all my money, had nowhere left to go and absolutely fucking hated where I was.

I dropped out of film school (I know, I know) when I discovered they were ripping me off for a degree I'd never get any proper use out of. Never used my summers to get internships so I effectively had 0 experience and would've had a difficult time landing a production job anywhere. Now I'm in LA and am competing against a million other fucking people.

Working part-time in the meanwhile to save up about 10k in savings before moving out, and even then I want to have a stable job before making the move. If possible I want to go back home to Arizona.

My folks really saved my ass, I don't deserve someone like them. I hope I can make them proud of me someday.

Living with and having your own kin support you being seen as a weakness is why the white nation is falling, this was never an issue until the land of the free got obsessed with the idea that staying with your family equals baby birds being in their mothers nest.

Your family is the most trustworthy people in your life and they're the ones that most want you to succeed, there's no reason there should be a social stigma for accepting their help, but I fear it's too late to get rid of it now.

I graduated in May and my gf and I both live with our parents. We're sticking to a strict budget and putting away tons. We plan tons move out in another year or so, at which point we'll have enough for the delay payment on a house. It sucks for now but it's way better than pissing away $15k/year on rent, and it's easier to get out ahead of our future mortgage.

I'm 25 now and finally have a good/real job, girlfriend and a baby, so moving back in with my parents is unlikely. If we did move back in with them it would only be for a few months but more likely we will continue to rent apartments and buy a house within a few years.

Moved out when i graduated HS, havent even lived in the same city as my parents since then so never even thought about moving back in with them. If i lived in the area and i was specifically trying to save money to put a down payment on a house i would definitely consider it. But thats probably the only circumstance. I love the freedom that comes from being self-sufficient.

For me personally, It's a pride thing. I want to be free. Have my own life and be my own person. I wanna have a good job and a house of my own but man it just ain't happening anytime soon. I support myself the best (groceries , gas, etc) i can while I'm with my parents but i don't wanna be that guy who lives with his fuckin parents y'know

I did up until 24, but I paid rent and bought all my own food, so I didn't end up saving that much money in the end.

Well the more people who do it, the less it'll be a stigma. We'll be in a sexual Mexican standoff if living at home continues to be a deal breaker for women and our birth rate will reach Japan levels.

I know I'm late to the thread but best of luck bro. I've heard it's tough to get to into rasp without having it in your contact; I'm trying to get an 11xop40 once I graduate. Keeps me motivated to train hard

you're better off being classified as a dependent anyways. your parents will save more money on taxes by claiming you as a dependent than you would by being independent

I'm living at home while I finish my EMT courses for firefighting while working full-time.

My mother's Cuban and loves when I have girls over, but I just get so uncomfortable like I'm violating the sanctity of her home.

My dad was the stereotypical gung-ho, baby-boomer, Vietnam-vet American, but he settled down immediately after his drug-running days and has been incredibly vanilla since 1985, so he thinks of my sleeping around as some gateway to his old lifestyle. Bit of an old fart about it, but still cool to hang out with.

Nights out is not that expensive, unless you are paying hotel rooms. Man up and don't waste money.

I didn't move out until the week after I turned 24. Kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

It's the same thing as flyover states. Few work opportunities outside the cities, where the property prices are ridiculously high. So builders build condo towers out of every available square foot of the city and the rest of the country is empty.
