thread bump…was wondering if anyone’s situation has changed so far…
relationship wise your toast unless the female has a high tolerance and maturity level about your situation; if she lives at home she can’t clown either but if you two are really into each other then you might can move in with her
this is a new generation we live in…I just dont understand the mindset of people and what they “expect”…but I can sum up 75 percent of the female populace in one word “materialistic”
(ages 25 and up) lets be honest you would not tell a female on a date that live at home with parents on the fly regardless of situation
im turning 24 this year and the outlook is looking grim on my part (cutting hours at work, bs school expenses) so moving back in with parents is looking like one of my options at the moment…
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and got out of bed naked and went into the kitchen and had a beer in front of the fridge. Never have to worry about bringing home a girl and my parents being there when I’m trying to get my dick wet. When I come home late I don’t have to sneak in, in fact it’s not called coming home late when you have your own place, it’s called doing what the fuck I please. :woot:
Nothing but respect for situations like this though. My younger brother is autistic and fuck if I’m ever shoving him into a home. If you’re in school or whatever and you’re trying to cut your bills, and really move shit around–props to that to. Do what you gotta do, that’s called ‘‘trying to have my own place in the future’’ as far as I’m concerned.
Quote for the truth. That is the number 1 thing that is holding me back when trying to hang out with a girl. Unfortunately I’m not making alot of money right now at my job and I’m not going to finish school for a while since I’ve been dicking around. I’m turning 24 soon and I just can’t meet a girl without saying “oh btw, I live at home”. Time to be sexless for couple more years :arazz:
if it were up to me i’d want to stay home so that i can save my hard earned money; when I moved to nj from mi, i had to find an apt quickly and all my earnings went into paying the overpriced rent. i have co-workers who are living at home and pocketing all their money because they don’t have to pay rent, talk about unfair… still, my friends/coworkers living at home (all girls) are all in a relationship, and they guys that they are with are also at home, so they make it work… i find it more accepting in this economy for people to remain at home because honestly, rent is too damn high!!!
while we’re updating shit, I guess I’ll give the rundown on my current situation. The plan I mentioned before is now in action. Currently taking a couple online courses so I can get readmitted to university, and I’m doing really well in both of them. I’m projecting I’ll be done both courses by mid-February, at which point I’ll be sending in my application to university.
Still unemployed and living at home, but my employment benefits have run out so I’m living strictly off of my savings/credit. I sold $3500 worth of Magic cards, so that takes a lot of pressure off. Assuming I get in to university, I’m going to find some pissant job to earn some cash until September, but not until after I’m done with my courses.
Other than that it’s the same, though I have a lot less time for playing video games and have to actually be careful with my spending habits since I got no cash coming in.
I still don’t plan on moving out unless my parents sell their house and move to a different city. I would much rather have my own car (and a really nice one at that) than piss my money away on rent.
All things considered, I’ve made the most of my year of funemployment and don’t regret my decision to quit my job and move back home at all.
I just turned 27. Still at home because I’m too lazy. I got a job and could move out but I have no real motivation. don’t care about girls, success, college ( got 1 semester left), video games, nothing. I feel like Im 50 years old right now. I can live under the bridge for all I care right now.
i would move out but have no job that pays well enough to live on my own despite having a degree from a respected school. i live in the silicon valley and everything is hella expensive. retail jobs can’t support me enough and they won’t even let me work because i’m overqualified. they want some high school kid who is dumber than them to boss around and do what they’re told.
If you havent already, you’ll find a nice girl someday who appreciates you taking care of your family and mother. Most girls would just look at it as an excuse and you’re a “momma’s boy”, but you’ll find a nice one someday who understands I’m sure.
I’ve been in a similar situation as you for some time. I can’t imagine leaving the person until they die, and I’ll probably still feel like I didn’t do enough regardless of the outcome. Anyone who tells you to abandon your mother is trash as a human being imo.
If I’m not lazy I can read people, so I already know what the women are like from their body language (even eye reflexes), how they observe others, and such slightest interactions. If a women tries to be a bitch and find out what I do, and I’m talking about not when they mean what do you do, but when they really mean how much wealth you have. I tell them, get them really interested, make them get that reflection in their eyes, then I activate my face down trap card and flip that shit on them. I ask them what they do and how they plan to improve themselves and where they see themselves in so and so years. Of course I don’t just ask this kind of shit straight up, I conceal these questions and bait them into revealing such information. If they’re not too dumb, after about a dozen minutes they realize that I knew where they were coming from and that they just owned themselves. The resulting facial expressions are priceless, and hopefully some of them learn to learn to judge yourself before you judge others.
It’s bad to hire people who are overqualified. You want someone to just do the job and not question it, even if the request is not optimal or even plain stupid. Overqualified workers are also bad because they are likely to quit once they find a better job.

I start moving out of my townhouse this week… the condo I bought over a year ago has finally finished construction. It’s downsizing as far as space, but I didn’t need all the space in my townhouse and the big difference is that I will own instead of renting.
When i was 23 i just googled for a place to stay and got one right away, i have been out of my parent’s house ever since. Last summer i even moved out of the country to Belgium to resume uni for much less (1/3 cheaper).
I’m staying with my grandma right now, I took a couple of semesters off just too save a bit of cash. Good thing is that I was able to save all the money I got from unemployment when I was on. Last year (or about the last 6 months of it) was to set me in a good position for this year in obtaining my own spot. California rent is high as hell, I would like to move to a place where rent is more affordable seriously. I could of been out of here already if I didn’t quit my second job, now that I look at it I shouldn’t of done that because it really fell favor towards my sleep schedule. But that’s why I’m going to school so I don’t have to work 2 jobs and be a slave. I just don’t want to move out and burden my folks of moving right back in, that would suck.
Most of the girls I know are still at home, even if I wanted to holla though I just can’t do it (also a reason my last relationship ended). I just feel pathetic for not having my shit together right now, which is the reason why I missed the last couple of evos and crap. Being 30 at home is inexcusable to me, hell I’m 24 and find it inexcusable. But I’m happy that I’m attempting to find a way, I know there’s one out there waiting for me to jump on.
love how this thread keeps coming back… it’s like someone really has it in for people who choose to stay at home consciously or unconsciously. It’s as if they just can’t seem to look past the status and into the real situation of why this has been a choice. It sounds as if someone has some sort of insecurity and attempting to compensate for it by looking down on those folks.
For myself, my little sister doesn’t have the parts to look after my mom for another 2 years. I finally got something stable, also after a good 4-5 years in my field, so I’m saving my ass off to get out.
I think I can speak for the rest of the guys but when it comes down to telling women that we live at home, we have a fear that they’ll just reject us right on that spot. If it was culturally normal for people still living at home into their 20s and 30s, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Been living on my own for 7 yrs now. Some times I miss living with my parents. It would save me so much money, I could have more toys. Made food would always be ready in the kitchen. I just turned 28. Some will call me lucky, I like to call some of you guys lucky.
If people are living at home due to medical or religious reasons, nobody is looking down on them. It’s the people who have had every opportunity afforded to them by their family to branch out and start establishing their own thing, yet don’t. People in this thread have even admitted as much; their mindset seems to be “I could, but why?”. Those people are getting clowned, and rightfully so.
Personally I’m disgusted with myself. I’m 23 and I’ve faced school with such a “don’t give a shit” attitude and my severe lack of discipline is biting me in the ass. The phrase “I am my own worse enemy” rings true for me. I feel like I’m at the mercy of my parents. It’s even worse knowing that I’m the biggest letdown in the household. Hate to play “ifs” here but if I did man the fuck up and got my shit together, things would be looking better for me.
I’m trying to man up but disciplining yourself is hard. I’m trying to get my shit together this year so I can at least start on moving out after I pass three computer certification exams.
