Is 23 too old to be living at home?
I am 23 and I have been living at home with my parents since I graduated college last May. I don't pay rent, rarely for food unless I go out, and pay my student loans. I also have a full time job. To me, I don't actually want to live with my parents. I have a boyfriend of 6 years who is 24, in the same boat as I am and living with his parents as well (10 mins from my parents house). You know what? This sounds more lame typed out than I imagined! Anyways, bottom line, you have a part time job and it is OKAY to live with your parents...if they welcome you. Mine want me to stay until I am 30, I plan to move out this November. It is very hard to have a serious boyfriend that I lived with in college and try to make our relationship grow when we live with our parents. I guess living with them makes me feel like my personal growth is stunted, however, my financials are definitely growing thanks to my decision and this will make my future a bit more easy in that department (or so I may think).
Is 19 too old to be living at home?
Nineteen is NOT too old to be living with your dad and step-mother. A lot of people are desperate to leave at eighteen, whether it be due to family problems or to move in with a significant other. I think, if they allow you to stay in the house and pay for your things, you should stay. You could take this time to save some money, just to have because it's always good to be prepared. Concentrate on going to school and it's good that you have a job as well. Imagine if you lived by yourself: You would have to stress out buying groceries, paying the bills, is there toilet paper?! lol! All these little things that are not in your way right now. Just do what you're doing now, DO NOT quite school. Be thankful you have a family who is helping you as much as possible. I'm only eighteen and I do live with my mother but there's no groceries, she doesn't cook, so it kind of like living alone. I spend more money than I should because she doesn't help me out, which is fine, she's my mother and I love her, but sometimes I wish she'd help me by having at least food in the house because instead of saving for a car, I'm spending it on food, therefore have not started school yet. I'm working full-time though but really want to start school soon, and don't know how I will be able to do so. ): But you're on the right track!!
Is 20 too old to be living at home?
No it isn't. I think you need to judge this by what you are doing to work your way from home, rather than your age. I have found that it is more common for young adults to live with their parents. A lot of it has to do with the economy and the state it is in. Basically many young adults whether they are college students, or college grads are having a tough finding work, making it harder from them to move out. When you can't find a job as a recent college grad then you can't just move out on your own. So many college grads go to grad school until the job market opens up, which means they will stay in their parents home longer. As for college students, its perfectly fine because you are at least working towards something so you will have something to show for it later. The only concern I have is when you stay in your parents house at a certain age, and you are not contributing nor are you trying to move out. But in your case, its fine. You are in school, you don't have a lot of money from what you are saying, which means you can't move out. Its not so much about age, but it is all about your intentions.
I'm 20 years old still living at home and my curfew is 10pm is that normal?
I have two young children (14 and 6), and my 18 year old is moving back home from college. I'm looking at contracts and curfews, etc when I came upon this question.As adults, rarely do any of us get to "come and go" as we please. We all live under constraints. These constraints are dictated by personal, familial, and professional obligations.First, and foremost: not your house; not your choice. Regardless of whether or not you like the curfew, you can either put up or get out. I may not like showing up for work 20 minutes before I need to be at my station, but because my boss requires it, I do it.My 18 year old will be working, and eventually going back to school. She has a responsibility to get a good night's sleep and be a good role model for her younger siblings. We'll discuss a fair curfew, but after midnight will not be acceptable.My 18 year old, like her siblings, will have household responsibilities that will need to be completed before "free time." So, the idea that she can do whatever she wants is silly. As an adult I have household responsibilities that must be taken care of before I can relax. Otherwise the household won't run smoothly.Free time happens only when responsibilities for work, school, and family are managed.Is this a way to control her? Less of a control issue and more of a issue of teaching her skills her birth parents didn't teach her.

Is 28 too old to live with your parents?
So here is my situation: I stayed at home with my parents through grad school to save money. I've finally non retail gotten my first job this past August that pays around 26k per year, 19k take home (which I'm hoping will lead to a promotion in the next few years). I don't have much in my savings thanks to my cat (who I adopted several years ago and pay for all his expenses) my cat as monthly allergy medication and food needs that runs me about 100 dollars extra per month after several years of expensive tests figuring it out (yes I know most would give up their pets rather than pay that much, but I didn't and this is where I'm at). At any rate I've been apartment hunting and found one at 550 a month. With rent at 550, my student loan payments at 150 per month, car insurance at 68, my phone bill is 60, and my cat costing around 100, I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and take this apartment or wait a few more months to build my savings account back up in case of another emergency. I am itching to move out simply because I feel like I'm getting to that age where it is not acceptable to live at home. Though my parents are happy to have me at home, we get along fine and I help around the house, buy groceries, pay some of the bills in exchange. I just can't quite figure out which is the better move.
19 year old, still living with parents...pathetic?
ok first of all, most 19 year old's DO live with their parents. why would that be pathetic? you are still pretty much a teenager... society here in america has put so much pressure on young people its insane! there's no certain age when you have to move out.. seriously with the way the economy is right now, i advise stay there as long as you can. or at least until u can finish your schooling and get a better job. because trust me, $8.00/hr. will do NOTHING for you. think of all the bills you are going to have to pay. -rent. -electricity -water -trash -home phone -cell phone -cable -internet -car payment -car insurance -food -gas -tuiton ... yeah, thats just to name a few =]
