I was at Uni and dropped out, so currently back home (I'm 19). It kinda sucks, family get on my nerves and I miss the freedom of living alone.
Anybody else still live at home?

17 here, so i'm still living with my mother and her partner. Once i finish school and get a source of income, my mother is planning to move houses to somewhere else, but i can keep and rent out this house with some mates.
Its really good too, since this house is the center of everywhere i'll need to go.

Just making barely enough money for a crappy apartment and sometimes food, but my life is good, and I enjoy the company of friends and neighbours.
Getting out of your parents house will probably destroy your financial security, but let me tell you, when you open your fridge, and everything in there is stuff YOU like, well that is pretty neat.

I'm 20 and I moved out when I was 17 for college, albeit at the time I was getting support from my Mom. Now though, I have a job and my Masters in being partly funded so I have enough to get by on my own. Sharing a house with friends at the moment so at least bills are split four ways. It's still really expensive though, living at home is a luxury when you have your electricity bill coming in the same day your rent is due and you only have coffee and noodles food-wise.
Is this some kind of strange patois?Vicarious Reality said:
OT; I moved out again in September. I like having a tidy place, but being over 8 hours from home [by bus] can get slightly lonely at times.
I'm 24 and I still do. I will be leaving and moving out in about three weeks though. Our agreement was that, as long as I stayed in school, I had a roof over my head. Unfortunately, the economy here in California is still awful, so I was stuck in my dead-end retail job after college for two years after I graduated. I've finally been accepted to a place to start my career and have the salary and benefits to move out at the end of this month. I'm quite excited to start my new life finally.
Yup.
26, living with my mom.
I'd prefer my own place, but this is more convenient, eases the financial burden on my mom, and it's relatively close to where I work.
Also, her back is kinda bad, so me being around for physical stuff like carrying groceries and shoveling snow is useful for her, I think.
She works every other week, driving a truck in an iron mine in another city, so that I'm here to take care of the dogs also helps alot.
People are too stuck on the 'living with parents is shameful' thing.
In some cases, moving out can even be selfish.
Especially around here where there's many more people looking for jobs than there is jobs.
It's also stupid hard to get a good apartment for a decent price.
Even the bad ones costs twice as much as the good ones did 10 years ago.

19, live with my mum helping her take care of my senile grandmother and autistic brother.
Even if I didn't have to stick around till we can afford to pop the grandmother in a home or she falls of the perch, I don't really see the presure for "You must leave home NAOW!" when it's so much cheaper and easier to just stay here for a while longer.
I suppose the magic difference here is that my mother is more like a good friend to me then a parent
Also I live in a detached room about the back, only coming in to help and for tea, so it's kinda like living by myself >.>

Nothing shameful about living with you're parents. I'm 20, still at home.
Moving out is fucking expensive. College won't help much either. Because then instead of just being a poor person looking for a job, I'll be a poor person with a shit-ton of debt looking for a job. Not exactly an improvement over the current situation.
So yeah, right now I'm just looking for a job. Not really going well. Live in a small area, which means few jobs. Hell, I even applied for a few places in Montpelier, which is about an hour away from where I live.
Hope I get a job soon. If only so I can finally start saving up some money.

I´m soon to be 20, currently living in a dormitory started going to an university last year. However, after the 3 years of Uni and 1 year or so of Military Training (I don`t really know if that`s the correct phrase to use), i really don`t know what happens next. I guess we`ll see.
Average age of first time home buyers was declared last year at 37 (at least where I live) I'm 23 and rent my own place in the city but spend any time I'm not at uni back home with the folks.
I'm 21 and I only live at home on breaks from uni. Don't feel too bad though, I have a friend who's 27 going on 28 who still lives with his parents.
I'm 22, currently living in a "guest room" or whatever you want to call it. People I'm living with are friends of my mothers. I'm staying with them because my mother and her partner only have a 1 bedroom place so there's no room for me there. I honestly cannot stand living here, some days I feel like burning the place down I swear. But then I realise at least I'm better off than those people on the street with a lot less than me.
I've got up to college education (UK) and I'm currently unemployed and actively looking for work. Having no job and no money is a killer too. The way things are at the moment is bullshit, government needs to do something about it badly.
I've been trying to find a way out of my situation recently but nothing seems to be a viable option, its basically I'm stuck here until I find work that will give me decent hours at a reasonable pay so I can try and find a flat-share or something somewhere.
Oh or I could just get some random ***** pregnant and get some council housing like half the twats my age but I'm not that guy.

Yup. But I don't live here for free. I pay for rent and utilities. 500$ isn't to bad. I also help out with the paying of certain things when it's necessary.
I'm 26 and i'm still living at home. But i do have a job and i pay for stuff. I don't think i'll be moving out nay time soon, because a home where i live is stupidly expensive compared to the average wage. Actually, the wages are the main problem. I get paid a few times less than i would be paid for the same job in a "first world/developed" country. And the homes are relativelly equal in cost, so yeah...
Well kinda. I live in a basement suite attached to my parent's house. They're kind enough not to charge me rent while I'm unemployed. The joys of having your parents as landlords.
