What is it like to live in your home?
It’s a nice home in a beautiful mountain town, but both the country and the family are going through serious financial difficulties, so you can say it's now sad to live in my home. We're struggling and my day is tiring, I do the overnight shifts as my mother’s caregiver.
Is it sad to be living at home until im 27?
This is an increasing phenomenon, and you are not alone. Given the cost of college, the cost of living, the cost of housing and the poor economy, and other related factors this is the only way that people can be successful. It is also REALLY important to remember that the idea of moving out of your parents home has only really existed as an option for the last 100 years or so. Traditionally in most cultures (eastern and western) families stayed in the same home (occasionally adding another house, wing, room). So don't worry - we may be moving back to this reality. DA
I'm sad because I'm living at home, I have no money, and I havent been on many adventures in my life. I'm 24 years old. What can I do?
Go on some adventures! Seriously. You can find hidden cool spots around where you live to start. Save up some money and go on a solo trip somewhere. work two or three jobs if you have to. Find something good about each day, because it’s there I promise! You're 24, it's a horrible time sometimes( I know-I'm 23) you feel lost and alone and broke and stressed and it just feels like you're trapped. before then you were either in college where friends and fun was readily available or in high school, where it was pretty much the same. You feel stuck. But you're not. society tells us that our 20s are the greatest time. But every 30+ year old I've ever talked to said they are sooooooo much happier now. Life eventually falls into place. In the meantime, get out and smell the fresh air. Make your own happiness. life isn't a dress rehearsal, it's the show. A beautiful mess and you're the protagonist. Go live it.P.S. As a person who suffers from severe depression/anxiety this advice might not work on its own if you too are a sufferer. In that case, try to look into counseling to help yourself get out of the rut. Diet, exercise, sunlight, self love and care. Good luck!
I'm 24 and still living at home?
I graduated from college in May of '07 and lived at home for a year after that. Then, last May, I tried packing up and moving to TX (a state I wanted to try out) on my own, but it's been a real disaster! In fact, so disastrous that I nearly committed suicide a few weeks ago. Therefore, I'm having to move back in with my parents. Is this something to feel bad about? After all, I moved to TX hoping to become a full-time teacher, and since that didn't happen, I'll look at this as one of the biggest failures in my life, and I'm not sure I can handle that. Also, I'm 24 as mentioned, so isn't that a little old to still be living with my parents? My parents are welcoming me back home, and they're actually anxious to have me back (for some reason or another), so that's good. But I bet deep down inside, my parents were looking forward to having the house to themselves again, so I just ruined that for them. Anything to say to this?
Is it sad to be 22 years old and living at home?
NOif you have a backup support from your family and they believe in you.you are luckiest person on this planet, if not don’t worryif you are thinking about doing job, believe me, don’t think. if you want to learn something during job and you have big carrier opportunity so try, but some time after leave your job on focus on your dream work, as soon as possible.and give as Much time for your dream (what you want to became)if you are 22 you can learn new things, you can go in any artistic field like Music, Dance, Comedy, whatever you wantLearn From your Heart, any thing what you want (give Min.5 Years)that time many of opportunities will follow you.Best wishesThanks
I'm 22 Living at Home?
and i feel very sad about this. but first of all let me state this, i am not lazy, i look for work and am in the midst of joining the army, and i go to college to further my education. but overall even though i am trying to join the army i still realize i'm 22 and don't have a job and its getting frustrating as if i'll never get anywhere. i feel like such a looser beacuse i think 22 is much too old to still be living at home. i was 20 when i said i wanted to move out beacuse its time, but i have troubles finding a job to move out and i was in college. it seems like no matter how hard i try i'm still stuck here, don't get me wrong i thank my parents for letting me live here, but i don't want to be here anymore beacuse i feel like a dependant child, yes i cook, yes i clean, yes i take care of my space and look for work and go to school. But it just feels like i'm missing out, other 22 year olds i see them drinking excessivly, going to parties and somehow they have a great job and are in the same year of college that i am. I look at them like, wow, how do you get there? it seems like i exhausted all my options, i really am doing my best to get out of here beacuse i don't want to be here so to recap all 22 YEARS OLD. LIVE AT HOME. LOOKS FOR WORK 24/7. COOKS, CLEANS, TAKES CARE OF SPACE. IN THE PROCESS OF JOINING THE ARMY. (sorry for typing in caps but some people on YA act like dummy's when they respond)
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!!
When are you too old to still live with your parents?
Yeah, girl, I'm 24 too, and by the looks of it, I won't be leaving my parents house in a near future. So far I´ve been doing freelance work that I love, but it is very uncertain, so I can't count with a monthly paycheck to pay the rent and stuff like that. So, until I get a more steady job in my area, I'll be staying with them and my brothers, who are totally cool! I am prepared to leave my home (I've lived abroad for a couple of months) and I would be able to leave to do so if I made some sacrifices (like an extra part-time job) but what's the point? Everybody's live has a different pace, so don't sweat it, don't rush into things, just do your thing and, when the time comes, you'll get your pad. Appreciate that time, if you look at the big picture it's just a phase, so make the most of it. Don't feel insecure and never mind your friends, you're the only person you have to please, ok?
