Why does everyone give anyone over 20 a hard time when they say they still live at home? For me, I moved away for 2 years and moved back home after finishing college. I'm turning 23 next month and live at home and dont really pay for anything. My mom doesn't charge me rent, food, utilies or anything. I can't afford a house but I'm starting to save for one. I can afford rent but it is ridicously high in Southern Cali. So what's is the problem? Should I move out or stay at home? Whats the maximum age until its weird?
The only issue I see is when you tell a girl you live with your parents or when you try to bring a girl home; it can be embarssing, other than that living at home FTMFW!

Is this a survey?
If so, I am nineteen, moved out when I was sixteen. Lived with other teenagers I met along the way, started living alone at seventeen. I have lived alone since then.
I suppose it's up to you and your parents what you do. Personally I couldn't stand to live with them now at nineteen, let alone at twenty-three. It would feel incredibly weird and wrong to me. But it's different for everyone I guess.

I haven't lived at home since I was 18 and went off to college.
Can't afford a house? Shit, you can buy a house now with no money down. If your credit is so bad that you can't afford one and need to put money down, the amount that you will need to put down will take you years and years and years.
You should move out at 18. You don't pay rent? No money for food? Not really getting a feel for the real world, huh?

Why do parents do this? they take care of you and, love you, give everything you want, then when you turn 16-20 they magically change their minds and tell the kid to GTFO your on your own now.
People should stop having kids, we dont need any moar people in this world.

Despite your post being barely coherent, I assume it was addressed to me. Please tell me what "AmeriKa" and "young shit men" have to do with this? Also, "wow you are so old!"; I'm assuming that this was an attempt at sarcasm, but at what point did I infer that I thought I was older than I am? Of course I'm aware that I'm still young. Why wouldn't I want to be? :S
Clearly I CAN afford to live alone, since I've been living comfortably for almost four years now. So what is your problem? And again, please tell me what young "shit" American men have to do with this?

Oh and, I forgot to mention...please explain how I could comfortably have had sex for the past four years, had I not moved out? Because I know I certainly could not imagine having sex while my parents were in the house. I know people DO do it due to circumstance, but I'd rather not be in that situation.

You got a rooom checked
You got food for the day checked
You get materials like books and stuff? checked
all free
But you can obviously live alone if you ever wanted to and then bring home girls as you please. That's a minus for the part with parents as long as they take offence by you doing so.
I say you got what every hard-working man strives for. For sex, just go to a hotel or something, jeez. The girl doesn't have to know everything about you if you feel insecure about living large at home.
I'd try to take advantage of it as long as it proves to be useful to me.

I agree. I just meant (well, said, but no.13 doesn't seem to have much reading comphrehension) that it would be weird for me, personally. It's up to him what he does.
Although I think that going to a hotel would be a bit impractical all the time. As for parents not taking offence, even if they didn't it would still feel weird, but that's just me. Although I imagine most adults still living at home manage to have some unspoken agreement with parents about when they best not be around. Must still be impractical and awkward though, unless it's a big place.
Maybe it's because I'm female? Maybe it's like a "nesting instinct" or something, haha. Although I certainly don't want any children any time soon.
