Do you still live with parents?

How many of you still live with your parents? I'm just curious, because in this shitty economy, I don't see myself ever moving out. I don't know if I even want to anymore.

Part of me wishes I did, the savings would be nice.

My parents moved 2000 miles away so ever since then I've been on my own.

Yes. I'm just 18 and not ready yet..

Great people to visit, but horrible to live with. We probably would have killed each other by now if I still did.

^ That's funny, yet sad at the same time. I definitely understand though. My mom pisses me off as well, but I just keep my distance.

I don't live with parents, I live with a parent

Since they divorced, I live with my mom. I don't like it much... but I have no choice.

Not still, but rather, again.
Don't see myself moving out in at least 6 months.

I think it wouldn't be so terrible to live in a large place with one's parents. Enough distance to get away from them, but still able to all share one large home with the presumed advantages.

I do.
I tried getting a place with a friend one time, but it was a disaster.
It's embarrassing being 37yo and still living with your folks. But it's much better than being on my own. There are some members at the club in their 30's with jobs who still live with their folks because it's too hard out there.


God Bless.

I do see your point, but many are staying or even moving back in with their parents. I can't blame them. It is hard out there. I would much rather just deal with my mom's nonsense than deal with the bullshit out there.

there have been brief periods during my adult years where i had to move back in with a parent. the only reason i did it was for my daughter. no child should be without a place to stay. i do not have a good relationship with either of my parents (understatement). however, when i am an empty-nester in just over a few years here, i would never move back home. in fact, i have went so far as to say, you would be more likely to find me frozen to death on a curb in chicago in january then living under one of my parents' rooves.

I moved back in with my sister. I don't think there's anything wrong with living with parents these days, because crap happens and rent is crazy most of the time. If you're not married, who cares.

I'm 21 and I have yet to move out. I've lived with my Mum for the most part. Very recently (5 Weeks Ago) my Mum's Boyfriend moved in. I don't mind living at home as when I work, the rent is 50% of what it would be if I lived alone. By not moving out, i think I've saved about £1500 in Rent alone due to not paying all of it. The pressure does seem to be on though since my Mum's Boyfriend moved in. As when I don't work, he has to pay 100% of the Rent. I did say though, that nothing would change when he moved in. I said I'd not stress myself out looking for work, or pay more then I would without him around. I said (and still say) that my Mum should find a job. Would save her Boyfriend and me money. About £90 each per month when we work (Which is always for my Mums Boyfriend and about 3 Months per year for me lol)

I do not live with my parents, and it is many years since that was so. However, I live with the parents of my partner. My partner is 30 but layed off last year... so can not afford apartment any longer. It is a troublesome situation.. but I am happy to have some place to live any way.

I moved out at 16 and have been loving it ever since, I really can’t imagine living with relatives anymore because I like this freedom and the gift of being able to leave my socks wherever they fall.

Not just because of the Economy, but also on a social front. Personally I see it as my duty to one day be the homeowner and look after my parents as well as a potential family.

Ambitions and what not, y'know.

I left home for college at 17 and have never moved back except my first summer break. Of course, it would be hard at this point since they both passed in 1994. Sometimes makes me sad when I see my people my age on Facebook about people visiting their parents.
