I start my new job next Wednesday =(
 
The days of sitting around all day, watching 12 hours of baseball, getting hopped up on Ritalin and writing papers, sleeping 15 hours, jerking it to tranny porn...over!

However, with the increased income I will be able to buy a new Xbox...so between work, summer classes, and Xbox...my chiefsplanet time will decrease by 500% (at least)...

so score for you guys?

my old job enabled me to pay my rent in full before the semester, and my other bills consist of cable and cell phone since I don't have any credit cards...so I've managed to get by. I'm a man, I'm 40.

No, what's pathetic is a father who has the means to support his son through college, but instead kicks his ass out after high school because of a lingering vendetta against the son's mother, his ex-wife, who is DEAD; yet this same father pays for his daughter's college and lets her live at home until she's 24, all because she had the correct mother.

There's nothing wrong with parents supporting their kids, whether it's financially or emotionally, as long as that support is a jumpstart and not a crutch.

And I was not my intention to steer the thread in this direction with my flippant comment. My bad.

And H5N1, I had the same job for 4 straight years...never missed a shift...and that place filed for bankruptcy and ****ed every loyal employee straight in the ass, no lube...my last three paychecks bounced and caused a chain reaction that ended up with me having to pay $300+ in fees for writing bad checks...because my GUARANTEED payroll checks bounced.

These last few months without a job have been GLORIOUS...but I'm ready to jump back in and start throwing dollar bills around like a true player again!!

And I was not my intention to steer the thread in this direction with my flippant comment. My bad.

of course, like everyone, I have my own biases. I'll lay them out quickly so you can see where I'm coming from.

my parents are both stoners, have been for as long as I can recall. my dad can't handle money at all--my dad is a sad case. he's very intelligent, but has made the worst decisions you can imagine in his life--my mom was a high school dropout who had a child at 16 (my oldest half-sister, trudy).

growing up, we never had much. I learned from an early age that the only way to make it out of my situation was to work, work, and work some more. when it came to college, they always had money for my older sister charlotte. however, when it was time for me, they'd declared bankruptcy (with $500 bucks borrowed from me, fwiw, that's never been paid back), and had nothing to give.

I don't hate my parents--far from it. they're the best goddamned motivation I have to keep going.

I value hard work and take pride in the fact that I'm nothing like my parents--I'm as straight-laced as can be... I don't drink (well, maybe once a year if that), don't smoke, no drugs, etc. I work full-time, and go to college full-time. I'll be paying off school when I'm still 60 years old, but I take a ton of pride in knowing that everything I own is mine.

is it difficult? hell yeah. but I can tell you that there's nothing more invigorating than knowing that I rely on nobody for anything.

I guess that's why I look down on those who suck on the teet--is a bit of it jealousy? maybe. I've never sat down to think about it.

loochy 04-29-2009 11:09 AM

Well, I think it depends on the method of teet suckage. If one appreciates what they are given and don't ask for or feel entitled to such gifts, then I think it is alright. But not many things compare to the disdain I feel for these little self important, self entitled, little bitches that think people care and expect everything and give and work NOTHING. RAWR.:cuss:

My dad kicked me out too but for good reason. I had some serious anger and respect for authority issues back then. All I cared about was having a good time...and did I ever.

Didn't get a dime for college. Paid my own way and out of that debt about 5 years removed from school. I was the first person in both sides of my family to attend college.

We will pay for my son's college as long as he maintain's A's and B's and trys to get as many grants/scholorships as possible.

I wash my hands 600 times a shift...rarely use soap, but I can't stand shit on my hands...watch me eat wings, it's ridiculous...I use like 200 napkins.

Besides, you shouldn't be worried about my hands...I'm telling you, if you go to a Chille's or Friday's...about 6 people are going to touch your food before you eat it...and most of them are Mexican.

Just so you know...

and if you ask for no tomatoes on your burger and I see they overlooked that...that's when I start doing the touching...

Sort of the same boat, I got tossed at 16, I thought that made my old man an asshole. 20 years later I realize I was definately the asshole. I went in he Army, did 9 years and allowed all of you fine taxpayers to put me through school, so to all of you I say thanks, but I earned it.

There was no love of any kind involved in my situation. My father looked upon my existence as an 18 year contract. He was absolved of any further responsibilities in June of 1983.

He wasn't mean to me; he wasn't nice to me. He wasn't much of anything. He worked, he did his own thing, we rarely talked. In hindsight I wish he'd been harder on me, pushed me to work harder at school, take harder classes, get a job, prepare for life as an adult, but he didn't. He didn't care. He was just counting the days until I was no longer his problem.

People try to tell me that one day we'll patch things up. Or they try to tell me I'll regret it if we don't.

Those people are wrong.

XXXshogunXXX 04-29-2009 02:23 PM

I dont know anyone who's been kicked out, but I heard alot of stories of it 30-40 years ago.

Cultures vary, but I still know some people 30+ still living with their parents. although, I know alot of them are just waiting for their parents to retire and move back, so they could take over the house.


Nowaways, people around my age are still living with their parents. It's now the norm to live with your parents at 25+, especially with this economy. Alot of teens these days just go straight to a part time job after high school. They go to part time school, in a community college. After 4+ years of bad grades and academic probation, they find a job at $12 an hour and just stick with it.

Different times these days, now that I look at what my parents went through. They were adults with kids and had their own house at my age now. I moved out when I was 23. Fortunately I just took over payments on a new house my parents just bought at the time. I dont have kids, and Im still doing the same stuff I did out of high school. My parents were alot older at 26 compared to me now. Mid twenties are still teenagers.

It is what it is. God knows lots of other people had worse. To his credit, he never abused me, I never saw him drunk, when I lived with my mom he never missed a child support payment, and when I lived with him I had everything I needed. He honorably fulfilled his contract; I'll give him that.

But somehow I think a shitty parent who at least cares would probably be better in the long run than a solid earner who doesn't.

Credit is due for providing, but there is a lot to be said for people who honestly work on developing the child emotionally and mentally. My parents tell me shit now that they did, how they handled situations, phrased their comments etc. When I was a kid with the intention of developing me emotionally. They could have babied me, made me figure out a way to deal with it, etc.

I don't know how well it worked because I don't know how I would be if they didn't, but I certainly appreciate the effort.

Different times these days, now that I look at what my parents went through. They were adults with kids and had their own house at my age now. I moved out when I was 23. Fortunately I just took over payments on a new house my parents just bought at the time. I dont have kids, and Im still doing the same stuff I did out of high school. My parents were alot older at 26 compared to me now. Mid twenties are still teenagers.

I'm just moving out of my Mom's house, and I am 23.

I tried moving out once when I was 18, and that lasted about 5 months. I was making $6.25/hr and working 20 Hours a week back then.

I fail to see how anyone was ever able to move out of their parents house before they turned 21. Both of my Parents moved out of their Parents house when they were 18.

In San Diego, thats not happening. Rent for my 3 BR, 1200 SQ FT house is $1700...I couldn't even dream of that if I was 18.

Moved out at 19. Moved in at 20 or 21. Moved out at 22.

That's the short story.

If you didn't have the option of staying at home you would do what you had to do. At 16 I signed a lease using my brother as a cosigner on an apartment that was over these peoples garage. I had one room and a shitter and paid all my own utilities. I worked two jobs and never, ever could afford to go out but I did it any way.

Thats why your first apartment is a hole in the wall closet. I've been working since I was 13 and was able to get a work permit. I paid my own rent since 17. Worked 3 jobs at 18 but I had an apartment, a TV, and 2 vehicles. (long story - cheap cars)

I fail to see how anyone wouldn't strive to hit the world running as soon as they could.

Meh, I lucked out when I was 19 and stumbled into being a waiter...in Champaign/Normal I'd make $20-$25 on average and in Chicago I made sometimes $40 an hour...for mindless, easy, work that takes nothing but a hint of common sense to be good at.

The full time servers in Chicago at a chain restaurant were easily clearing $55K a year...plus, and I know this is shady, you only have to declare 10%...and often you'd easily clear that...so a lot of what you're making ends up being tax free.

I've always felt that way myself, I've never known anyone who could have they fun I had at that age if they had to check in with their mom.

I got my first job when I was 14. It was at the skating rink I grew up going to. They just couldn't work me after 5pm on weekdays or 7pm on weekends. Needless to say, it was more of a summer job working 2pm-4pm sessions everyday.

It's not shady IMO the govt will **** you every chance they get. Might as well get some back.

I've been doing some research on renting places out here.

The cheapest decent 1 BR place I would be able to find is around $850.

Making Minimum wage (which is now $8 in California), working at 40 hours a week, is $1387 a month (before taxes).

$1387 x .75 = $1040 (after taxes)

$1040 - $850 = $190

That leaves you $190 a month for everything else.

Its tough to do in San Diego, is all I'm saying.

I'd say it's like that everywhere. Sure, housing is cheaper here, but so is minimum wage.

No offense but everything about that post tells me you enjoy living with mommy. Lower your requirements on a place Get a roommate or another job if you really wanted to move out. If not that's cool too.

I'm not arguing that you should live in a hovel. I think roommates are a vital part of growing up. I just think you could have left years ago, had you wanted to.

And I say that as a mother who will probably have to be forcibly taken from her son when he tries to leave.

Yeah, but minimum wage was $6.25 when I earned that ($1.75 less than it is now), yet renting an apartment was still the same back then, if not a little more.
