I live with my mother while going to college locally. It's a pretty nice arrangement and saves money, which isn't exactly in abundance these days.
Poll: Who here that has graduated high-school (or equivalent) still lives with their parents?

Yes. I'm eighteen and I attend university full time so moving out at this stage would be rather impractical considering I don't shit money. I know two people who don't live with their parents and that's only because they had to move to the city in order to go to a proper university. Both of them would be living at home if they could. Ain't no shame in it.
I never graduated high school. I dropped out about 2 months before the end of my grade 12 year because of personal issues. Dropping out is the worst thing I've ever done. I can't find it in myself to go back and finish school, and I'm not sure I ever will.
KIDS! Don't drop out. It'll ruin your future!

I finished college in May when I was 18 and moved out around about July time with my boyfriend at the time in another city. It took until the November to find a job so it was difficult, especially being on my own two feet away from my mum.
I moved back in with mum after a year and got a house after three months, two doors away from my mum (really regretting that now...) Hoping to move out as soon as I can. The house is far too expensive for a one bedroom.
I was nice enough to keep my mouth shut when I met my friend who said I'd fail at life because I didn't go to uni. He's been out of uni for a while, is in shit ton of debt, no job and still with parents.
EDIT: Nothing wrong with living with parents. Rent and bills is a pain in the arse, I'd rather live with them >.<; but you probably shouldn't be arrogant and assume Uni will guarantee you a job and everyone not at Uni will be stuck working in McDonalds or something.

I guess, sorta?
When I moved in with my now roommate, we were dating. His dad technically owns the house, and then paid most of the bills. The situation is reversed now...He still owns the house, but Roomie and I pay the bills. His dad...Thinks Christianity says he's entitled to live off us, to put it politely.

im 24 and still living with my dad, brother and sister. i dont really see it as that bad as people seem to make it out as.
seems to be the trend for people to live at home longer. its not like my dad does all my dishes and clothes washing. its more like were room mates or something as i pay rent etc. i can understand people being annoyed at people who live at home and parents are like their slaves but im not like that, i more or less pay my way and share in the house work.
also i have graduated highschool, got a tafe advanced diploma and a bachelor of commerce (my university didnt have dorms, it didnt even have a uni bar, it was a satilite campus) and have gone to school or worked in the local area so it never seemed like a good idea to rent a house etc. why rent a house 10 mins from my parents house.

I'm 21 and still living with my parents.
My job doesn't pay well - or consistently - enough to permit me a place of my own.
I'll be moving out next year for University, though.
