Re: "If I attend School X I'll save money by living at home"
I, for one, am glad that I can slow down my transition to adulthood and cling to the dependency of my teens as long of possible. Why should I learn how to be self-sufficient when my mom makes awesome tacos every Thursday?

Priceless.
And i agree that living away from home doesn't make you an adult. Freshman year a kid on my floor made his parents drive two hours to do his laundry each weekend.

I don't understand why you guys think it is so awful if other people choose to live with their parents. If you don't want to do it, then don't. If you think people who live with their parents are adolescents, don't be friends with them.

You're the one saying "your parents never interrupt you and sex noises are never audible in your apparently soundproofed hom" and yet I'm the douche.AreJay711 wrote:Thanks douchnozzleBildungsroman wrote:Yeah man, tell him more about his own experiences.AreJay711 wrote:For real do your parents ever interrupt you?

But seriously, as soon as I graduate I will be moving back home and jumping in that warm womb that is living at home with my parents. Gotta pay those loans off.

I'm saying that those concerns are more made up high school paranoia than actual problems, but yes.Bildungsroman wrote: You're the one saying "your parents never interrupt you and sex noises are never audible in your apparently soundproofed hom" and yet I'm the douche.

I mean, I never said "doing this is an objectively wrong decision in all situations," so if that's what people have their panties in a twist about then what can you do. I just think it's crazy talk, because to me 1. adulthood and moving out are pretty strongly correlated, 2. I can't imagine attending law school while living with my parents (although I do love them), and 3. A lot of the calculations people do involve being a big moocher (e.g. not paying them food or rent).Haymarket wrote:We're making a social observation, not asking how we should conduct our lives.ilovesf wrote:I don't understand why you guys think it is so awful if other people choose to live with their parents.

Says who? So adulthood comes at the cost of $30,000 extra debt? What happens when you're forced to move back home anyways to pay that off? Are you still an adult?Bildungsroman wrote:1. adulthood and moving out are pretty strongly correlated

Re: "If I attend School X I'll save money by living at home"
That's fair enough. I understand why you feel that way. I personally don't feel as though it's stopped me from being an adult. I guess if someone is K-JD and went to college near home, it could happen. I went to boarding school and didn't live at home in high school, went to college across the country, and didn't even live in this country for most of the two years between college and law school. This is largely what has made living at home so enjoyable for me - I have a lot of distance between my life here now and what it was like when I lived here before.Bildungsroman wrote:I mean, I never said "doing this is an objectively wrong decision in all situations," so if that's what people have their panties in a twist about then what can you do.

Re: "If I attend School X I'll save money by living at home"
I lived at home throughout law-school. I just finished with less than 50k in total student loans, including undergrad. I wasn't particularly proud that I lived at home, but I don't care anymore because I saved a lot of money. In my opinion, living with your parents while attending law-school is way better than taking out an additional $10,000 of loans in order to act like you are financially independent.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
