Poll: Who here that has graduated high-school (or equivalent) still lives with their parents?

[BreakfastMan]

Just wondering how many of use conform to that old stereotype of the nerd living in their parents basement. Include your age if you want. ;D

For me... Yes, I still live with my parents. I am within driving distance of where I am going to college, I am unemployed, and the cost of rent everywhere else is really high, so... I am going to hang out with them till I get my degree. Hurrah for being a shameless freeloader!

 

[shadyh8er]

I'm 19, my brother is 21 (and employed). We both live with our parents. It's gonna suck when I have to move out....

 

[z121231211]

I don't know what to choose. I live in a college dorm off of my parents money.

I just hit 25, I have a bachelors and moved out for 2 and a half years, however I really couldn't find a steady/ well paying job, going back to school for 2 years to get a degree in clinical lab science which guarantees me a job in a hospital lab. So until I get back fully on my feet living with my parents and paying them super cheap rent is what I'm sticking with. Living in my own place + paying loans from my bachelor's college + current college fees is just impossible/unreasonable.

 

[Macgyvercas]

I still live with my parents, but that's because it's cheaper than living at college.

 

[Agayek]

I lived with my parents for about a year after getting my bachelor's. The latter of half of which was spent looking for a job. Found one about a year ago, moved out and haven't looked back.

 

[deshorty]

I do sort of. I currently live in my dorm, but I tend to go back to my house (30 minutes away by subway) every other weekend or so. I'm 18 btw.

 

[SilentCom]

I'm 22 and graduated college and still live with my parents... Yes, it is perfectly fine to call me a loser...

Actually I help a lot around the house and with grocery shopping, etc. I want to move out but can't because I can't seem to land a job. I guess I could sort of blame the economy on this one.

 

[Shadowstar38]

The university is in driving distance. Ive never had a job to move out with and when I di its gonna be based on what I went to school for. My mom isnt home much anyway so its like living alone.

 

[zehydra]

Yes, I'm 21 and I'm currently at College, but when I'm home I live with parents/family

Back when I was in college, I did live at home. I was literally only 15 minutes walking distance from the campus and it made no sense to either pay for the dorm rooms or the artificially high college-town rent.

While in school, I took a year off to get over burn-out and moved out for that time. Had a job, payed rent, the whole nine yards. When I went back to school, I moved back home because of the cost of both school and rent was just too high.

After I graduated, I stayed at home a couple of years longer until I not only moved out, but moved out of my home town.

Isn't living on a moderate budget wonderful?

 

[Doc Theta Sigma]

Yes. It is perpetual hell. I cannot find a job. My days are filled with filling out applications never to hear back ever again and walking the family dog. The little bastard gets lots of walks.

 

[littlepima]

I've been lucky enough to not have to live with my parents since high school. Now I'm 31 and married with 2 kids and a good career. I think it would be irresponsible of me at this point.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

In my culture, family usually sticks together until one is engaged and/or married. That and I do my fair share of work around the house to earn my keep.

 

[ace_of_something]

When I was 17 I moved out. Though I lived in a dorm (off of my parents money) for 3 years. I rented a house my fourth year with some buddies. Other than a three month period when I moved from my college town back to the city my folks live in, I have not lived with my folks since.

Though to be fair I moved out in the late 90's when the economy was awesome and jobs would just fall out of the sky.

I also have never lived 'by myself' I always had a roommate usually two. One of them being my twin brother. (Until he got married)

 

[Grayjack]

Yes, but I'll be moving away in January because I'm leaving for USAF basic training.

 

[sharinganblossom25]

I'm 18, and my first semester of college is about to end, and I'm still living with the folks. It's just cheaper that way in these times. I don't want to be like my brother who lives in an apartment that they pay for. -_-

Yes, but I'll be moving away in January because I'm leaving for USAF basic training.

And good luck to you. My dad's a former pilot, so I would classify myself as an "Air Force brat" haha.

 

[The Shade]

Have my own apartment, attending college.

My home will always be where my family is, though, even if I don't technically live there.
