You know, there's an option between "live on your own" and "live with your parents" >_> Personally I still find living with roommates to be a waste of money. At least by paying my mother "rent", the money is still going toward her house, that my sister and I will probably inherent. To me, paying for rent on an apartment/house whether alone or with roommates is a complete waste of money and would be a last resort. I would rather live at home with my mom and contribute to the utility, house insurance, and property tax first. Following that I would consider a house/condo if I can afford it. After all this if living at home and getting my own house/condo is not an option then I would consider renting an apartment/house either by myself or with roommates. Regardless of your stance of living with your parents or living away, the money one pays when renting does nothing for us in the long run. BeerOnTap posted... It is certainly an indication that a grown adult has failed to launch Launch in terms of what though? There's more to being "successful" than just living on your own in opinion. It's why I mentioned earlier what good is living on your own if you're living paycheck to paycheck, and have nothing saved up. What is said person trying to prove and to whom? Of course there's more at factor than just because said person is living on their own (i.e. low paying job, high cost of living, etc.) BeerOnTap posted... no matter how much millennials try and explain it away or make excuses for it. You suggest someone need to waste money on rent to "prove their worth"? vocedelmorte posted... Yeah, bur if you live alone, then you will be more motivated to get a better job So one should waste money on renting to encourage themselves to get a better job so they can continue wasting said money on rent? Why not instead being actually smart with said money, minimizing spending by living at home, get a better job, and use said money toward a condo/house? Granted yes, living at home does give us a lot of cushion and it is easy to get too comfortable and not try and further improve yourself. Personally I feel if said person lack the will to improve themselves, wasting away money on rent isn't going to change that. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo!
