I think everybody needs a "me time". I care about my parents but I know that they won't be around forever and I'll be on my own, so why not start now while I'm still young and living?

My plan is to finish school like at 23 or 24, start working, and buy a bigger, nicer crib for my mom, brother, and me.
- i knew a few back then. the point i was making is it is very possible. your comment suggested its so out of reach its laughable.....which was laughable to me.
- i put an age on it because thats the legal age to be able to move out and provide for yourself legally. so yeah, i stick to what i said in 17-18 is the maximum you should be in your parents house.
- there's and education you obtain while having to deal with the real world on your own at that age that cannot be taught by mommy and daddy. sadly as we go on more and more youth are used to living with mommy and daddy until they are damn near 30, be it physically or financially. the more we go on the more acceptable it will be to stay at home longer.
- im not tripping i learned YEARS AGO it most of my peers that didnt, im cool with that, let them be happy in their ignorance. you ask me how many 22 yo i know with a house....do you kow how many 25+ yo i know that dont know +!$+ about personal finance, paying bills, the concept of money/credit, how to be a parent, the list goes on.......you know why?? all because they spent the better part of their early twenties letting mommy and daddy do everything for them.
- but hey, this is NT. i wouldnt expect to many o here to understand any of these concepts at all.....
shuuuuuuutup, you just made yourself look dumb TRYING to look smart,your concepts are out the door because your not looking at the facts. Number one: The dude lives in NY, not Florida, or carolina's where its moreaffordable. There are people making six figure incomes in NY that can't afford a house. Number Two: The average cost of a house in NY is around$350,000.00. Number Three: Banks require 2 years of income statements showing his income is DOUBLE that of his debts (which include the monthly loan for thehouse) Meaning he would have had to be making 6-7 grand a month for two years!!! 22 year old making that type of money since he was 20? DOUBT IT. As someonethat has been involved actively in the local realestate market here i challenge you to prove me wrong, you might be able to fool a couple of 19 year olds intobelieving that bull %*%% story, but you aren't going to bull %*%% people that actually KNOW the facts and what it takes to own a house in new york.

- yeah okay.....
- if you joined the military at 17 or 18 owning a home at 22 is a very attainable goal. as a veteran you can use your VA status to buy a home with no money down and use it towards 4-7% towards closing costs costing you $0. all you would need is a job to sustain the mortgage.
- i moved out at 17, ive always had a hard time understanding spoiled brats BS justifications for still living at home after 18.......be it college or anything else. much less mommy and daddy paying for a car and/or still giving you spending money.
- iat the threads i see in here talking about issues with parents and money when the OP is 18 and over......
- im 30 and have a cousin the same age as me STILL hanging on mom and dads tit for any and everything.
