This thread was inspired by BD's thread where he offers to pay $3200 per month rent.

712 and that includes taxes. Mortgage.

$1050 and I don't even own this place, just renting...

I'm getting ready to attend law school which will involve a move, so owning something right now is out of the question. I can't wait to own something though, renting sucks... it's just throwing money down a hole every month.

So do you pay rent? Do you work? Who buys all this expensive stuff you are always saying you buy?

$760 mortgage for 8 more years.

About $1350, counting mortgage, taxes and condo dues.

My thoughts on the living-with-your-parents debate:

I moved out right after I graduated high school, right ahead of the boot that would have kicked me out the day I turned 18 three weeks later. Did it do me good? Sure. Was that my dad's intention? Hell no - he was and is a rotten prick who viewed my existence as an 18 year contract, and simply wanted rid of me ASAP. On the other hand, my spoiled bitch of a half-sister (the one with the correct mother) lived at home until she was in her late 20s. So basically, any parent who is a decent enough human being to help their kids out past high school (by letting them live at home, or helping them get on their feet, or at least giving a shit that they exist) is okay in my book.

I would also add that kids entering the work force (at least those who don't have silver spoons stuck up their asses) have a pretty damned rough go of these days, especially in places like Chicago. Unless you want to live in a shitbox apartment in the middle of a DMZ, or have several roommates (and good luck finding one who isn't an pain in the ass, let alone two or three), the only decent alternatives are staying at home or going in the service, as I did.

I know lots of people who live/lived with their parents well into adulthood. A few were slackers, but most were people who worked hard but simply didn't make enough to make it on their own.

Life is a bitch. It's nice to have the support of family. Or so I'm told.

$1700 mortgage payment

The whole living with the parents thing is simple.

Living with your parents is OK, as long as you have an "exit plan."

$1,350. per month mortgage for a 2+2 in one of the most rediculously over priced areas in the nation. I had a BIG down payment. Also own a cabin in Big Bear that's paid for. It's part of my retirement.
I moved out at 17 and never looked back. However, my parents would have been fine with me staying as long as I paid my way.

**DaneMcCloud** · 02-21-2005, 07:41 PM

$4600 a month (mortgage, property tax, home & earthquake insurance). 4 bedroom, 5 bathrooms.

I'm with Frazod. If a child is either beginning college or has just graduated, it's cool to live at home. Getting started is rough these days, and kids need all the help they can get, especially with apartment rental prices sky high. A 1 bedroom apartment in Los Angeles will run $1500 or more in a decent area. I'd hate to see my kids (which don't exist at this point) run out and take the first job offered just to be able to afford a place to live.

Someday we'll have kids, and they'll be welcome to stay as long as they like. That was a luxury not afforded to me.

$1,100 a month + utils for a room in a 4 bedroom 2 bath

laser1972 · 02-21-2005, 09:31 PM

Ok, my 2 cents worth...

I pay about $900.00 for my mortgage, add about $300.00 or more (gas sucks!), and its about $1400.00..

I bought my house when i was 26, stayed at home until i was 21 (I paid rent also, was like $400.00 a month, i know NOT BAD) , then moved out (was in school however), went the apartment route etc..

How does that work with the ladies??.. Do you take them back to "your room" and sneek them in??.. Does that matter?.. Maybe you have enough cash for hotel rooms??.. Maybe you don't date, i am sure thats a turnoff to the ladies or if you are spending the extra $$$ on them, they don't care...

If you are 23 and still liviing at the house, you should be either saving for your own house but contributing to the household you are in now..... If you are spending your money on expensive things and not giving them a dime. I blame your parents for allowing this, maybe they still want to baby you, but if you have NEVER been out on your own and you are 23, then you are going to face a hard reality when you get your own place..

I have some friends (i am 33), that still live at home and funny thing is, they are always broke, go figure??... Its better to learn the value of money when you are on your own than spend it quickly b/c you have no bills (and car payments and insurance dont count since thats on you to begin with..).. I mean mortgage,gas,water,etc...
